3801A: Guide to Estimate Benefits from Smart Grid Applications FLISR and VVO (Phase 1)

This guide highlights the various cost and benefit categories to be considered when performing a cost-benefit analysis on the deployment of smart distribution technologies (smart grid). This guide places an emphasis on Voltage/VAr Control, and Fault Location, Isolation, and System Restoration applications and parameters which drive the performance of these solutions.Keywords: Cost-Benefit Analysis, Smart Grid, Distribution Automation, Distribution Technology, Reliability, Energy Efficiency

3803: Interfacing DMS/OMS/SCADA Systems with Enterprise Business IT Systems for IT/OT Integration in Smart Grid.

In recent years, several utilities have implemented a Distribution Management System (DMS), SCADA, and undertaken new installations or upgrades to their Outage Management System (OMS). With the primary goals of achieving distribution system automation, reliability improvement and faster restoration times, these projects have led to significant efforts in integrating Operations Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) systems. This so-called IT-OT integration has presented challenges that

3804: Impacts on Distribution System Operations When Integrating DER

Operating the distribution system grid while integrating Distributed Energy Resources (DER) presents significant challenges to distribution system operators. The objective of this project is to identify the major impacts on distribution grid operations when integrating DER resources and to determine the most appropriate solutions for their mitigation. The solutions presented include requirements, use cases, system architecture and associated changes to work processes and product design. Impacts

3810: Business Transformation for Data Management in Modern Grid Operations

To operate modern distribution systems, utility operating systems and technologies depend on multiple robust datasets. The data can be sourced from field devices, station devices, enterprise IT systems, customer information systems, asset databases, geographic information systems (GIS), metering systems, and manual data collection processes. To effectively modernize grid operations, utilities continue to implement new technologies and systems. They also need to provide the necessary ongoing supp

3809: Controlling the Operation of Mass Penetration Small-Scale DER

With continuously increasing customer adoption of small-scale distributed energy resources (DERs), utilities are in the process of planning for or, in some cases, currently dealing with the impacts of the high penetration of small-scale DERs (for this study, these are defined as systems with an output of 500 kW or less). Such resources are becoming critical for utilities, both for their business in general and for reliable and economic grid operations. Utilities are uniformly pursuing solutions

3801B: Guide to Estimate Benefits From Smart Grid Applications Fault Location Isolation and Service Restoration (FLISR) and Voltage/Var Optimization (VVO) - Phase II

The purpose of Phase 2 is to implement the approach developed in Phase 1 through the creation of a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) model programmed in MS Excel VBA 2010. Prior to the development of the CBA model, a survey was conducted to estimate the capital and O&M costs of deploying Smart Grid technologies which enable various Fault Location Isolation and Service Restoration (FLISR) and Voltage/VAR Optimization (VVO) strategies, as well as to account for the benefits of these applications relativ

3807: Network Modeling and Data Governance

Grid management software includes many simulation-based applications that run off a network model that must be cleaned, maintained, and managed on an ongoing basis. The objective of the project is to provide state of the art information on the management of network models, including providing insights as to how utilities use network models, how they are maintained, what data is critical and what is not essential, how the data is cleaned, and what the data requirements for different use cases are

3811: Consolidation of Legacy Operating Systems in the Utility Control Room

The survey results and utility interviews documented in this report provide a data baseline for utilities considering legacy control room operating system consolidation. Control room operating system consolidation was found to focus on two areas: 1) SCADA vendor consolidation (as combined or separate TSCADA and DSCADA systems) and 2) distribution function consolidation to provide a common platform for distribution operators and support personnel. Recommendations focus on areas to evaluate as par

3802: Best Practices Guide to Utility Communications Platform Deployment in Distribution Automation

The primary objective of this report is to inform distribution utilities with regards to the best practices to integrate the right telecommunications technology with the desired or needed Smart Distribution application. Telecommunications is often described as the biggest challenge to implement Smart Distribution technologies. With multiple options in the market today, there is no single guide that can help utilities make informed decisions.With the advent of Smart Grid, new field connectivity r

3805: Example Roadmaps for Improving Maturity of DER Management at Distribution Utilities

This report documents the findings of a case study at FortisAlberta to create a “Roadmap for Improving Maturity of DER Management”. It is a follow-up to a 2017 impact analysis report, “Impact on Distribution Operations when Integrating DER” under the CEATI project T164700-3804.The prior study identified potential operational impacts, created a technical-architecture framework, and outlined a generic operational maturity roadmap and methodology. The objective of this case
