Key Smart Grid Challenges for Utilities Today
• Costs and Funding – understanding the cash-flows and incentives
• Identifying Key Stakeholders and Ownership.– Utilities: Cross Functional, No one department– Consumers: how will they embrace the SmartGrid?– Policy Makers and Regulators– Vendors
• Business Process Changes and Impact to Existing Operations: Reliability and Customer Service
• Standards-based Integration• Enterprise Information Management

Oracle Smart Grid Suite: Digital Information Smart Grids Must Manage the Exponential Growth of Data
Oracle Application StrategyTo collect, store, and interpret data generated by devices on the grid through – Oracle Utilities Network Management: Distribution Management System
leverages real-time field sensors & controls to optimize grid operations for reliability, efficiency, capacity constraints, losses, voltage profile, etc.
– Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management collects, stores and interprets from smart meters and becomes the gateway between customers and grid operations
Supported by– Oracle Spatial to view assets where
they’re located on the network– Oracle Database to capture increasing
emphasis on network operational data– Oracle Fusion Middleware for
activity monitoring and event processing
– Oracle Fusion Middleware for integration to head end systems
– Oracle Exadata

Oracle Utilities Mobile Workforce Management
• Optimize and track crew work schedule and routing (increased wrench time)
• Transferring field information (inspection, maintenance, construction red lines) using mobile device is more efficient and less error-prone than clerks transcribing from paper
• Field Settings Management, Test Set, and Work Flow
• Enables real-time workforce, asset condition assessment (e.g., storms and major events), and inventory optimization
• Supports enterprise information management (data quality)

Rappahannock Electric Cooperative
Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) is a member-owned utility in US which provides electric service to more than 100,000 connections in parts of 16 Virginia counties.
REC maintains more than 12,000 miles of power lines through its service area, which ranges from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the mouth of the Rappahannock River. The Cooperative serves a variety of residential, commercial and industrial accounts.
First NMS customer to deploy with AMI
Statistics :• Customers Served: 81,575• Network Area: 16 Counties• D/T Facilities: 12,000 miles of lines
© 2009 Oracle Corporation – All Rights Reserved 22
Rappahannock Electric Cooperative – Challenge
• Sparse service territory causes problems*– Co-ops average seven customers/mile– IOUs average 35 customers/mile– Municipals average 47 customers/mile– Co-ops serve 12% of US electricty customers– Co-ops manage 43% of US electric power lines
• Need remote means to verify outages and restoration– Avoid excessive “windshield time” for crews
*Stats from National Rural Electric Cooperative Association

Rappahannock Electric Cooperative – AMI
• Oracle Utilities Network Management System– Went into production September 2002
• AMI– TWACs Optimum Version 1.5– MultiSpeak-based implementation
• Integration flows– NMS calls with a customer meter ID– TWACs returns status, errors
© 2009 Oracle Corporation – All Rights Reserved 24
Rappahannock Electric Cooperative – AMI
• Using AMI integration for outage verification– Automatic pinging of meter to confirm service outage
• Using AMI integration for restoration verification– Automatic pinging of meter to confirm service restoration
• Not using AMI integration for outage detection

“REC handled 81,000 outages calls … and …
AMR saved valuable personnel resources,
helped to reduce the restoration time by
two days”
- Oliver Price, Director of District Customer Services

Jemena United Energy Distribution

Jemena
Statistics :• Customers Served: 600,000• Network Area: 950 sq km of northwest greater Melbourne
• D/T Lines: 10,285 km of distribution system• Network: Gas, Electric
Assisted Oracle Utilities with the definition and development of automated Fault Location, Isolation and Service Restoration (FLISR). Identifies faulte d sections in the field via SCADA integration.
Automatically prepares switching steps and issues actions via SCADA. Allows Jemena to avoid sustaine d outages by completing restoration actions within 1 minute, treating these events as momentaries.
© 2009 Oracle Corporation – All Rights Reserved 28
Jemena – Challenge
• Need to reduce number of sustained outages– Penalties imposed based on number of outages
• Momentary threshold very tight– Must have duration < 1 minute– Includes time for lockout, analysis, plan generation, execution– Must consider conditions (tags, crews) and loads– Not practical for operator to manually perform
© 2009 Oracle Corporation – All Rights Reserved 29
Jemena – FLISR
• Oracle Utilities Network Management System– Went into production in September 2001
• FLISR– Initially developed on project to meet new need– Restoration of Service Automation (ROSA)– Integrated with Siemens Telegyr SCADA
• Integration flows– SCADA sends telemetry for fault indicators, feeder lockouts– NMS sends switch control commands to isolate and restore
© 2009 Oracle Corporation – All Rights Reserved 30
Jemena and FLISR – Lessons Learned
• FLISR has generally performed well– Has successfully restored customers within time limit
• SCADA system performance is critical– Statuses needed in timely manner
• Accurate time-stamping also important– Need RTU timestamp, not SCADA system timestamp
• Improving SAIFI can mean worse MAIFI– Decreased sustained outages means increased momentaries– Eliminating short duration outages increases avg duration
