What Are We Doing to Promote Smart Grid?
• Projects for Smart Substations and Transmission Management
• Projects for Smart Distribution
• Projects that Integrate DG
Synchronized Sampling and Phasor Development
Description
Working with DoE, EPRI, and ERCOT the CCET companies and university researchers are demonstrating these technologies at substations and within the ERCOT system to allow better operator control, blackout prevention and service restoration, maintain reliability standards, and integrate wind energy. The technology provides much improved operator situational awareness over existing SCADA systems.
CCET Participants
7
Substations:- Circuit Breaker Monitor (CBM)- CBM analysis (CBMA)- DFR analysis (DFRA)- DPR analysis (DPRA)- Integrated substation analysis
Test Equipment:- Certification and calibration lab- Field test equipment for GPS-enabled IEDs
RTDMS Deployment and Phasor Roadmap Development
Demand Response Pilot
Description
CCET is leading a Demand Response program in Dallas and Houston during the summer and fall of 2008. The pilot takes advantage of early deployment of advanced metering/AMI systems in Houston & Dallas to test DR in restructured market and consumer acceptance of various control strategies (thermostats, water heaters and pool pumps) by Direct Energy, Reliant and TXU Energy.

DG Project Coming Soon
• Involves new planned solar community
• Potentially involves most of our members
• Stay tuned
What Are We Doing About Interoperability?
• Not nearly enough, but we’re working on it
CIM Standards Task Force
Description
I. Developed an online data base of IEC/UCA Standards references and a collection of CIM models
2. Evaluated a proposed approach to begin CIM-like standards development for the application layer interface with the HAN
3. Promoting CIM for Distribution that supports CIM for Transmission adopted by ERCOT
4. Task Force to Participate in New Project Design

PUCT Tackling the Problem of Interoperability at the
Meter/HAN Interface Description
Texas PUC is working the process of defining the capacities required for enabling DR by TDSPs and solving the problem of capacity to support DR and assignment of responsibility among market participants and stakeholders
PROJECT NO. 31418
RULEMAKING RELATED TO ADVANCED METERING
Project 4. AMIT HAN Project: Task 125
1. List of Use Cases
A1 – Load Control Message
A2 – Price Signal Message
A3 – Numerical and Text Message
A4 – Ping the AMS Meter
A5 – HAN Device requests AMS Meter data
A6 –Messages sent from HAN Device

What Are We Doing About Interoperability?
• We’re working on it because the policies of Advanced Meters/AMI and RPS requires a solution– The commitment to restructured market– Legislatively driven invitation to IOUs to invest in
advanced meters and AMI– Legislatively driven RPS is focusing attention on wind
integration– These large investments will drive attention to the
interoperability challenge
• THE END FOR NOW
