M&V Approach for DSDR
Post-activation analysis developed by Duke in 2013
Creates a baseline estimate by applying a polynomial regression to pre-activation load measurements
Primarily evaluated at the system level
Performed on data captured directly from DMS (before/during/after)
Data requirements
Frequent sample rate (typically 30 seconds)
3 – 6 hours of pre-activation data (winter vs. summer peak)
5 – 13 hours of total data (winter vs. summer peak)

M&V Approach for DSDR
Strengths
Relatively simple and practical (in comparison to others)
Created from actual load measurements
Statistically based
Results fall within in recommended confidence intervals
Favorable results when compared to other methods
Weaknesses
Relatively new
Not an actual load curve
Manual and can be time extensive
Unreasonable baselines for particular days
6
Results/Benefits
Validation of 316 MW of peak demand reduction
Avoided peak energy production cost estimates
DSDR business case deferred construction of two peaking CT generation units
Validation of 178 MW of peak spinning reserves (non-optimized voltage reduction)
Avoided energy production cost estimates
Validation of benefit from emergency voltage reduction activations
Example is 2014 Polar Vortex that helped DEP avoid shedding firm load
Development of hourly forecast models
Aids in planning and economical dispatch order of resources

Conclusions
Continual application and refinement is a necessity
Compare and contrast against other methods
Duke has utilized 3 different methods
Provides validation of results
Data, Data, Data
Need the tools and resources to collect, extract, and retain
Not only for benefit but also for system performance (identifying issues)
Visibility into the state of the grid during activation
Availability of resources (circuits and devices)
Communications status
Event/command logs

Productization – VVO & DSDR
●VVO optimizes network state in all load conditions
● Normal load
●Reduces losses, provides VAR support
●Energy savings vs. energy charging
● Heavy load
●Peak load shaving
●Avoids high cost of peak spinning reserves
●Avoids load shedding in emergency situations
●Achieved benefits
● Loss Optimization – continuous VAR support for transmission needs
● DSDR – 250 MW demand reduction benefit – summer 2014
● Emergency – level 2 implements 250 MW reduction during cold wave – January 2014
Productization – Network model data challenge
●Quality of calculated state depends on accuracy of GIS data
●Good quality of calculated state needed for VVO multi-objective decisions (LO,
DSDR)
●To include more VVO single objective approaches based on basic network model &
topology, SCADA measurements, smart meters
● Implementation of VVO in phases, on different parts of network
●Gaining benefit in earlier phases prior to data improvement
●To support automatic detection of parts of network ready for multi-objective VVO with
full benefit
Productization – Conclusions

● Productization of ADMS with VVO Closed Loop – DSDR
● VVO – continuous process that optimizes power grid 24/7
● DSDR project – measurable and verified benefits of implementation of VVO
● Loss Optimization/VAR support
● DSDR – peak shaving
● Emergency
● New ideas for software solution from DSDR project
● Automatic support for different quality of network model data
● New ways of calculating and reporting benefit
