A Smart Grid is when
A grid is smart when

• your teenage daughter, who snuck out last
  night with the PHEV, plugged it in to recharge
  this morning and pressed override on your
  smart charger paying 1.00 per kWh for
  daytime electricity.
• luckily, your rooftop PV is providing most of
  the energy to recharge, and the extra battery in
  your garage is working overtime to provide
  regulation services to the utility at a premium
  rateresulting in an overall net zero cost to you.

...the grid provides value to the local
utility the grid provides value to the
consumer the grid provides value to the local
economy the grid provides value to the
environment

The Grand Challenges

• Transfer all traditional capacity reserve
  requirements to the demand side
• Increase overall asset utilization by at least
  10
• Ensure that all critical loads are served 100 of
  the time
• Integrate clean energy technologies to reduce CO2
  intensity by at least 30
• Proactively mine all utility and consumer
  efficiency improvements
• Accommodate a penetration of more than 30 PHEVs

The promise of wind

2008 (1st half)
Data source ERCOT

• balancing-energy market prices in ERCOT's four
  market zones have ranged from negative territory
  in the west, where wind-generated power is
  abundant, to the market cap of 2,250 per MWh and
  even higher during times of transmission
  congestion. - Reuters, 5 June

Energy Efficiency Services
While on vacation you receive a message that
your hot water heater has been running full on
since last night. Your smart energy manager
dispatches a field service technician and
discovers a broken water pipe. The utility shuts
off your water heater remotely and the technician
on site turns off the water, saving you several
days of wasted consumption and property damage.

PHEV Smart Charging

GridPoint enables utility-managed smart charging
of PHEVs with measurement and verification to
reduce stress on the grid during peak periods and
enable differentiated pricing regardless of
when the car is plugged in
