2015 IntelliGrid Program Changes

ICT Emerging Technologies & Tech Transfer (161A) Adding Two New Project Sets • Enterprise Architecture (161E)

• Advanced Metering (161F)

– Adding “Metering” to AMI (was in Distribution P180)

Drivers • Facilitates engagement with

member subject matter experts • Enables members to effectively

apply the research results

Changing Program name to ICT • More descriptive of the specific

research areas

2015 Information & Communication Technology (ICT) Program IntelliGrid


Purpose - Information and Communication Technology for Distribution

• Geospatial Information, Situational Awareness, and Data Visualization

• Work and Asset Management Standards

• Communications

Collaborative research for asset and work management intelligence, accelerating standards

development, developing valuable reference resourses, assessing and advancing technologies, and optimizing

the utilization and value of investments


Approach

• Coordination across EPRI

• Aggressive development of CIM/MultiSpeak standards

• Development of “go to” reference books

• Identify and report on cost saving technologies and processes.


Collaborations

• Current – P174 (DERMS) – P180 (GIS, Visualization/Analytics) – PS 161B,D,E (CIM, COMS, DERMS, AMI)

• Future – P174 (DERMS) – P180 (GIS, Visualization/Analytics) – PS 161B,D,E (CIM, COMS, DERMS, AMI) – P35, 36, 37, 39, 40, and 180 (GIS,

Visualization/Analytics, CIM, COMS) – GEN, NUC, and ENV (GIS, CIM, Visualization/Analytics)

Interoperability Standards & Communications Technology Tracking and Analysis Issue • Rapidly evolving standards and communications

technologies can have a major impact on utility deployments

• Tracking development can be overwhelming and costly

Approach • EPRI staff is deeply involved in standards

development and industry activities

• EPRI staff reports on developments and activities and provides analysis on the impacts to utilities

Saving utility staff time tracking standards activities, while gaining a better understanding of the impact of standards

161A


ICT Technology Transfer Activities

Issue • To receive value from our research, our member

stakeholders must be aware of what we are doing and implement the results

Approach • Communicate research results in a variety of ways:

– Technical reports – Webcasts – Newsletters

Receive the results of our work in the format that works best for YOU!
