Bi-directional: 2007-2020

Growth in customer and merchant DER leads to inadvertent and planned bi-directional power flows driving circuit design changes, new grid components and control systems

Operational Evolution: 1978-2001Transactive Energy: 2020+

DER at scale will likely lead to multi-party transactions and the creation of local balancing & distributed markets to integrate customer DER

Challenges for Distributed Energy at Scale

Spatial & Time Coordination

Redefine Roles and Interaction between Transmission and Distribution Operations

Redefine integration and coordination of controls and protection

Reassess “Market” Structures to ensure alignment of economic signals with system operations (broad use of term not just ISOs, but also bilateral and tariffs)

Economic & Robustness Optimization

Full system trade-off analysis

Complexity vs. Simplicity

Risk Based Methods

Coordination Needed Bet. Bulk Power, Distribution & Customers

Policy & Regulation

Infrastructure Planning & Investment

Information Exchange

Failure to address properly will reduce stability for both distribution and bulk power

Current policy, markets and operational trends are converging spatial and time

dimensions more fully - while at the same time more tightly coupling across

each dimension.

Requires:• Planning Alignment• Engineering/Design Alignment • Operational Alignment• Control Alignment• Protection Alignment

What are the range of options?

And what is an acceptable set of solutions?

There is a fundamental trade-off between economic efficiency and robustness –

we’re now also trying to resolve this system problem in a larger spatial and time

context.

Coordination Across Domains

Policy & Regulation

Energy Policy & Operational Reality – Systems View

Coordination bet FERC & State/Local Jurisdictions

NERC Reliability and Distribution (State/Local) Roles

Infrastructure Planning & Investment

Redefine Integrated Resource Planning to more completely incorporate distribution and customer DER

Expand transmission planning to incorporate local distribution considerations

Adapt analogous transmission planning methods to local area distribution planning

Information Exchange

Planning information (Engineering, Benefit-Cost, Regulatory)

“Market” Information (Pricing & Settlement)

Operational Information (Situational Awareness, Decision Support & Control Feedback)

We are quickly reaching the limits of our ability to assume away the difficult issues. And, smoothing issues thru large numbers no longer masks the underlying problems
