Illinois Smart Grid Here and Now The decade ahead will be marked with significant change in all facets of the energy industry, and perhaps nowhere will these transformations be more impactful than to the electrical grid itself. The inadequacies of the current grid and the pressing need to bring our power systems into the 21st century through a smarter grid led Illinois to pass the Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act in 2011. Illinois, with its tradition of innovation and collaboration among its high-quality educational institutions and businesses, has become an emerging national “Smart Grid” leader, bolstering economic and employment potential associated with the Smart Grid. This document, The Illinois Smart Grid Market Inventory, was developed by the Illinois Smart Grid Regional Innovation Cluster (ISGRIC) as a guide to chronicle analytical, regulatory, and technological developments related to the Smart Grid currently taking place in Illinois.

Current Power Grid ProblemsThe implementation of the Smart Grid in Illinois has begun. The inadequacy of the cur-rent power grid has manifested itself in several principal and fateful ways—increasingly frequent, protracted, and costly blackouts and power interruptions; inefficient energy generation and delivery; strains on system capacity to meet current and rising energy demands; lack of certainty in energy costs; continued dependence on foreign sources of energy; national security issues; and mounting environmental concerns:

• Reliabilityissueswiththecurrentpowergridareexactingamountingeconomicandsocialtoll. Each year, power outages and interruptions across the nation cost at least $150 billion, or about $500 for every single American.1 In an increasingly digital world, even the slightest disturbances in power quality and reliability cause loss of informa-tion and diminished productivity. Interruptions and disturbances measuring less than one cycle (less than 1/60th of a second) are enough to crash data servers, computers, life support equipment, and other microprocessor-based devices. Illinois consumers continue to pay for these failures in pass-through costs. It has been estimated that for every dollar spent on electricity, consumers pay at least 50 cents more for goods and services passed onto them by businesses anxious to cover the cost of power failures.2

• Theagingpowergriddesperatelyrequiresinvestment,smartornot.The grid’s last major infrastructure design improvements were made more than 50 years ago. The average age of a substation transformer in the United States is 42 years, which is beyond the design life of 40 years.3 Illinois businesses and homes are being powered through a centralized electricity infrastructure created largely before the age of microproces-sors and intense data center demands that, by design, require stability. Further, an estimated two-thirds of the fuel burned to generate electricity is lost in the generation and delivery process.4

complete standstill. There also are national security risks associated with today’s grid in the form of physical attacks and cyberattacks. According to the Government Accounting Office (GAO), as far back as 2002, 70 percent of energy and power companies experienced some kind of severe cyberattack to computing or energy management systems.7

The Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act The inadequacies of the current grid and the pressing need to bring our power system into the 21st century through Smart Grid have led to the 2011 passage of Public Act 097-0616, the Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act.8 The Act authorizes Illinois’ two major utilities, ComEd and Ameren, to spend a combined total of $3.2 billion, funded from rate payer–based sources, to update the state’s electricity infrastructure over the next ten years, with more than half of expenditures related to Smart Grid applications, including smart meters, distribution automation, and cyber security. Furthermore, to promote the development of a Smart Grid ecosystem, the act requires contributions from the two utilities for workforce development, consumer education and awareness, and entrepreneurial endeavors. In a powerful gesture that speaks to the need for new models in sourcing and implementation innovation, the act also requires the utilities to open a portion of their system as a test bed where researchers and en-trepreneurs can demonstrate and validate products, services, and business models with real-time access to the network.

As the Smart Grid implementation process continues, systematic and strategic leader-ship by key Illinois stakeholders is crucial to taking advantage of the enormous eco-nomic opportunity the Smart Grid offers Illinois. The benefits of Smart Grid extend be-yond utilities, to all stakeholders—consumers, educational institutions, and businesses. By building less and saving more energy, the Illinois Smart Grid is an effective tool for addressing current grid pressures and challenges, with the added benefits of providing economic development and employment opportunities throughout Illinois.


2There has been much debate over the precise definition of Smart Grid. For the purposes of this report and the ensuing dialogue on how best to move Smart Grid successfully forward in Illinois, the following “framework definition” is proposed. It is expected that this framework will be modified and refined over time as Illinois moves up the Smart Grid learning curve. As modifications occur, it is imperative that this information be communicated to all stakeholders in a timely manner through ongoing education and outreach efforts.

What is Smart Grid?There is no agreed-upon definition of Smart Grid, and therefore it is useful to think about the Smart Grid as a framework that encompasses a broad range of technology and business model solutions that optimize the energy value chain, in turn benefiting delivery companies, electricity suppliers, commercial and industrial interests, residential consumers, and, ultimately, society.

Highlighting the general characteristics of Smart Grid provides a working Smart Grid definition.9 In essence, the Smart Grid is:

• Intelligent:It is capable of sensing system overloads and rerouting power to prevent or minimize potential outages. It is estimated that tens of billions of dollars will be saved thanks to demand-response programs that provide measurable, persistent savings and require no human intervention or behavior change. The Smart Grid will increase the reliability, efficiency, and security of the power grid and avoid the in-convenience and expense of interruptions—a growing problem in the context of the utility industry’s aging infrastructure.

• Efficient:It is capable of meeting increased power demands without adding unneces-sary infrastructure. A Smart Grid will enable better asset utilization from generation all the way to the consumer end points. It will operate closer to its operational limits, freeing up additional capacity from existing infrastructure. A Smart Grid will also drive efficiencies through reductions in technical and nontechnical line losses; it is estimated that 30 percent of distribution losses can be avoided this way.

• Accommodating:It can accept energy from virtually any generation source, including solar and wind, and is capable of integrating technologies (such as energy storage) as they become market proven. It is estimated that our current grid cannot handle much

more than 7 percent penetration of distributed generation assets such as wind turbines before experiencing major problems on the distribution network. Smart Grids, by contrast, can deal with the intermittent nature of renewable generation by leveraging embedded storage to smooth output levels.

• Motivating:It can enable real-time communication between the consumer and util-ity so consumers can tailor their energy consumption based on preferences, price, and environmental concerns. Enabled by Smart Grid technology and dynamic pricing, consumers will have the opportunity to see what price they are paying for energy before they buy—a potent motivator toward managing their energy costs by reducing electric use during peak periods.

• Opportunistic:It can create new opportunities and markets by means of its ability to capitalize on plug-and-play innovation wherever and whenever appropriate.

• Quality-focused:It is capable of delivering the power quality necessary to run our digital economy.

• Resilient:It is resistant to attack and natural disasters as the grid becomes more decentralized and reinforced with Smart Grid security protocols.

• CleanandGreen:It has a profound impact on slowing the advance of global climate change and offering a path toward environmental improvement. Smart Grids will also provide the necessary infrastructure for mass adoption of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, something that cannot be accommodated with the current grid. In fact, the current grid is not dimensioned for more than a 15 to 20 percent penetra-tion of electric vehicles.


3 Successfully Implementing Smart Grid in Illinois

The passage of the Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act provides a specific time-line for the deployment of Smart Grid in Illinois. With appropriate guidance from the Smart Grid Advisory Council, which was enabled under the law to review proposed implementation plans, utilities should be more comfortable adopting new Smart Grid–based business strategies, much as telecoms did 25 years ago to change long-distance telephone systems. In turn, consumer knowledge will expand and resistance will fade as the economic benefits and necessity of Smart Grid for current and new power needs become realized.

The following recommendations are provided as guidance for the ongoing full and suc-cessful rollout of Smart Grid in Illinois.

Follow a Consumer-Focused Approach to Smart Grid Implementation To maximize the benefits of Smart Grid, it is critical that utilities and regulators ef-fectively engage consumers and develop consumer-focused policies supporting Smart Grid implementation. Most benefits of Smart Grid will not be achieved without active customer participation that:

• Enables customer access to interval data from smart meters in real or near real time.

• Enables easy third-party data access through one-step data sharing approval to create a market for efficiency, automation, and demand-response applications.

• Enables “time-of-use” pricing programs.

• Enables better control over residential loads, resulting in improved management (for example, demand response) of available energy and allowing residential customers to realize associated financial benefits.

• Focuses grid investments on reducing outage time and soft costs for customers.

• Coordinates infrastructure investments with a results metric that takes consumer impact into account.

• Supports aggregation (third-party or municipal) or the bulk buying of electricity to allow for greater consumer choice in supply (such as renewable sources), as well as potentially lower energy costs.


• Uses Smart Grid infrastructure for concepts such as distributed generation or the ability of customers to install electricity-generating technologies such as solar PV, wind, and other technologies on site, or “behind the meter,” and to interconnect to the utility distribution system to ensure adequate power supplies and credit as needed.

• Creates transparency in implementation—letting consumers know when they have been connected and what options are available to them.

An approach mindful of customers will help ensure that Illinois’ Smart Grid investment achieves its participation and efficiency metrics and results for the customer as well as the utility.

Information, Education, and Marketing is Key to Successful Smart Grid Implementation

Smart Grid EducationThe dissemination of clear, stakeholder-relevant information at all stages of Smart Grid implementation is crucial to easing fears associated with the changes under way and increasing acceptance for Smart Grid. In so doing, it is critical that:

• A common lexicon is utilized to guarantee consistent messaging among all partici-pants in the Smart Grid supply and value chain. It is imperative to be clear about what constitutes a Smart Grid and what are merely Smart Grid–enabling technolo-gies. A widespread misconception, for instance, is that Smart Grid is simply the installation of smart meters within the home. Section II provides a working defini-tion of Smart Grid, highlighting its characteristics and, in the process, revealing its benefits.

• Content and delivery of Smart Grid information reflect the different interests, atten-tion, and priorities of the various stakeholder groups. In other words, information must be customized for each specific group: utilities, consumers, businesses, policy-makers, and regulators.

• Efforts are focused on consumer benefits and education to reflect the pivotal role that consumers play in Smart Grid acceptance. It is important to understand that significant changes in consumer management of energy will need to take place for successful Smart Grid rollout and for maximizing the benefits of smart technologies. The participatory nature of the new network and the advent of energy management tools and services will fundamentally alter the way people value and interact with their electricity supply.


• Policymakers and regulators are brought up to speed quickly to ensure they are es-tablishing economic, regulatory, and market constructs that address the true needs of the industry. Forums and open discussions with utilities and technology suppliers will be an important part of this process.

• Utility management is able to use all relevant information to begin factoring smart technology into asset management planning and business model forecasting.

Smart Grid MarketingIn addition to education, Smart Grid marketing is essential. To ensure success, utilities will need to market their Smart Grid–enabling strategies and services in unprecedented ways and to make clear the advantages that Smart Grid can offer to all stakeholders. Given the new utility environment, utilities might consider hiring specialists from other industries (such as telecom) to maximize the efficacy of their marketing efforts and make possible the reality of Smart Grid transformation. At the least, marketing efforts will require the following:

• Creating and marketing user-friendly Smart Grid products and services to engage the public and help answer the question, “What’s in it for me?”

• Emphasizing the growth in jobs and creation of new businesses as a direct and in-direct result of the move to Smart Grid. The attached Smart Grid Economic Impact Fact Sheet (on page 26) provides additional details supporting the substantial eco-nomic benefits of Smart Grid and includes a list of current Illinois companies whose employment picture is tied to Smart Grid, an important and powerful visual indica-tor of actual job-generating potential.

• The framing of Smart Grid as a true enabler of the low-carbon economy rather than as an investment decision. The attached Smart Grid Environmental Benefits Fact Sheet (on page 28) highlights the environmental benefits of Smart Grid.

• Leveraging the experience and results from a handful of Smart Grid pilots already under way or completed, such as the ComEd Smart Grid Pilot Program and the Naperville Smart Grid Initiative. Pilot project experiences, both positive and negative, can help advance consumer awareness and acceptance of a more fully functioning Smart Grid.

• Highlighting any consumer savings that takes place, particularly as compared with maintaining the status quo.


• Developing utility-driven ratepayer-outreach programs to obtain feedback and push information. Telecom companies utilize advisory boards, customer satisfaction met-rics, and communication plans to deliver news through a multitude of channels and to convey information effectively. This model might prove useful for utilities.

• Emphasizing the benefits of positioning Illinois as a Smart Grid leader and capital-izing on its incumbent academic resources and business leadership.

Policy and Regulatory Changes Needed to Accommodate Smart Grid RealitiesRegulatory and policy frameworks determine the economics of the utility business and therefore drive what can be accounted for in the business case. Current regulatory and policy frameworks make it difficult to advance Smart Grid implementation. Nationally, it has been a challenge for utilities and policymakers to present a traditional business value proposition for Smart Grid due to the extensive and capital-intensive infrastruc-ture required at the onset and the length of time it may take for consumers to experi-ence and acknowledge benefits. Challenges include measuring and articulating that much of the value of Smart Grid investment takes the form of economic externalities that provide significant benefits to society as a whole (such as carbon reduction, job creation, security of supply, outage declines) yet are not monetized and included in the business case.

To achieve complete Smart Grid buy-in, policymakers and industry regulators should consider pushing for an evolution in the existing business case paradigm to incorporate the external values of Smart Grid investments. They should develop either convincing rate cases that reflect the more prominent role of societal benefits in Smart Grid discus-sions or public-private partnership vehicles to share the investment burden between the public and private purse. Several factors will ease this paradigm shift, including:

• Examining and reporting results of case studies to better estimate the value of Smart Grid in monetary terms.

• Including generation, transmission and distribution, utility retailers, customers, and Smart Grid technology suppliers within the business case.

• Incorporating into the business case the greater efficiency in energy delivery and use that comes with a Smart Grid, including reduction in overall energy consumption, reduction in the need to maintain expensive and carbon-emitting generation assets, reduction in the need for peaking plants since energy is used more optimally, and ultimately, reduction in cost to consumers.


• Including in the business case those applications and technologies enabled by a Smart Grid (for instance, electrification of vehicles, distributed generation, re-newables); their importance to overall energy efficiencies, job growth, and carbon abatement; and their impacts on utility savings.

• Utilizing (piggy-backing upon) the existing communications infrastructure where possible so that the business case for marginal improvements in Smart Grid func-tionality will be enhanced.

• Acknowledging and accepting that many of the core elements of Smart Grid are not yet being produced at a significant enough scale to make them economically viable. As the technologies mature and standards (imposed or de facto) are established, delivery risk will decrease. Relating this situation to the telecom trajectory over the years can inform an otherwise skeptical constituency.

As noted in the section above, to be successful along this dimension it is critical that information be shared and explained among stakeholders as changes to the tradition-al business case are made.

Preparing the Workforce for Smart GridThere is a shortfall in the expertise needed to design, build, and operate Smart Grids. Even without Smart Grid, the “graying” of the utility workforce and acute need for additional engineering talent are already key concerns within the energy sector. The existing workforce of utility engineers has developed skills in analog electrical engi-neering, but as utilities push toward Smart Grids, there is a demand for a new skill set that bridges the analog-digital divide and incorporates new skills in communica-tions, data management, decision support, and analytics. In addition, a generation of power system engineers will soon retire—at a time when they are needed to transition the existing networks to smarter grids. Further challenging the labor supply-demand imbalance is the need for an entirely new workforce of system operators, asset man-agers, and field crews, which will require training to install, operate, and manage the network, with competencies such as embedded systems design, advanced decision support, visualization, and communications engineering. To ensure ongoing work-force preparation for Smart Grid, it is important that:

• Information is widely shared among all stakeholders regarding the types of jobs as-sociated with Smart Grid and the skills necessary to attain and retain employment. This will be particularly valuable to potential jobseekers as well as utilities and other companies requiring skill-specific workers in a Smart Grid environment.


• Effective and efficient dissemination of knowledge about best practices in Smart Grid take place, highlighting skill shortages and related company-specific require-ments and identifying short- and long-term training requirements so that skills and training match what is needed in the Smart Grid workforce.

• Training programs, both outside and within utilities, are developed to provide the skills and competencies necessary to support Smart Grid implementation and ongo-ing operations.

• Smart Grid pilot programs are reviewed to help uncover any types of labor and skill shortages that might be evident.

Work to Enhance Smart Grid Network and Cybersecurity and Ensure Grid Data Privacy With increased computer and communications network interconnection comes the potential need to design greater security into the Smart Grid. In addition, privacy pro-tections must be respected given the vast quantities of data that will accompany Smart Grid technology. Telecoms have been tackling network security and data privacy issues for more than 20 years, and, while it is important to look to how telecoms deal with these concerns, the critical asset base of utilities makes this issue considerably more challenging. To assuage the public’s concern over data privacy and cybersecurity and make them comfortable in a Smart Grid environment, it becomes important to:

• Encourage increased collaboration among utility and telecom industries, regulators, law enforcement, homeland security, and consumers.

• Rigorously test systems when built and continuously reevaluate for any possible breaches.

• Implement any and all measures to protect critical infrastructure and customer’s personal identification information.

• Support new network security and data privacy standards, as appropriate. Already, NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation), with the support of NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute), has made progress in the definition of security standards.

• Establish expectations for performance at utilities and hold employees accountable.

• Work to make the public more comfortable with data issues, much as telecom, cel-lular, social networking sites, credit card companies and grocery stores have done.


4 Illinois Smart Grid Implementation as a National Model

Illinois is a leader in Smart Grid by virtue of the efforts under way to support Smart Grid implementation and operation, from progress along the dimensions identified above to research and development in key technologies to enable successful Smart Grid operation. The wealth and depth of information, expertise, and experience in Illinois establish a strong foundation to continue to move forward with Smart Grid, capitalize on successes, reap tremendous economic development and employment op-portunities, and allow Illinois to be a national model and leader for successful Smart Grid implementation.

Enabling Technologies for Smart Grid Operation—Illinois ProgressNumerous companies in Illinois are already developing and delivering technologies critical to Smart Grid implementation and operation. Some examples of Illinois com-panies are provided below. Companies are grouped according to the “Key Technol-ogy Areas” framework, as described in the attached Smart Grid “Key Technology Areas” Fact Sheet (on page 25). A detailed report of all Illinois technology provid-ers for Smart Grid and their specific technological offerings will help Smart Grid stakeholders better understand their functional Smart Grid needs, potential enabling technology supply gaps, and the funding needed to close the gaps.

Advanced Components— Illinois Smart Meters, MicroGrids, Other Advanced Component ExamplesThe worldwide smart microgrid market, valued at $4.14 billion in 2010, is pro-jected to grow to $7 billion by 2014. North America is the major player in the world market, with nearly 74 percent of the market share in 2010.10 The smart microgrid market is divided into five segments: institutional (campus), military, remote systems (off the grid, rural), community, and commercial/industrial; the United States derives the bulk of its strength from leadership in the first two segments.11

Illinois is home to two major microgrid applications: the Perfect Power System at the Illinois Institute of Technology and the Naperville Smart Grid Initiative (NSGI).

• The Perfect Power System, a collaborative effort among the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), the Galvin Electricity Initiative, and others, is a campus-wide microgrid. This project captured federal funds totaling more than $13 million with the aim of creating the first smart microgrid of its kind in the country. Perfect Power researchers calculate that the project will pay for itself within five years of


completion, with savings resulting from a more efficient energy system, reduction in power outages, and elimination of a previous plan to build a $10 million third substation, which Exelon was to construct to serve IIT’s growing needs before the university adopted the use of microgrids (DOE).

• The City of Naperville, owner of a $356 million electric utility asset serving more than 57,000 customers,12 received $11 million in American Recovery and Rein-vestment Act (ARRA) funds and matched this funding by the same amount for a $22 million, three-year, three-phase Naperville Smart Grid Initiative (NSGI). NSGI includes deployment of 57,000 smart meters (reaching all homes and businesses in the city) and automation-focused infrastructure upgrades (Phase I), creation of a home energy management website (Phase II), and the introduction of optional ser-vices, such as dynamic pricing (Phase III).13 NSGI is already perceived as a holistic Smart Grid model that can be implemented elsewhere. Key to Naperville’s success is its customer outreach efforts, including a logo competition, an open house, the creation of the Naperville Smart Grid Customer Bill of Rights, an educational am-bassador program, and attentively responding to questions and concerns.14

• Other advanced components required for Smart Grid have been developed or are in various stages of development by Illinois companies, such as Chicago-based S&C Electric’s medium voltage static transfer and regulator switches.

Advanced Controls—Illinois Distribution Automation and Related ExamplesDistribution automation combines smart sensors with integrated communications technologies. Distribution automation enables real-time monitoring and remote control of power system elements to monitor performance and automatically take corrective action by reconfiguring distribution to restore power more quickly and enhance service for customers. In the event of a severe storm, for example, distribu-tion automation enables utilities to optimally reconfigure and reroute electricity to minimize disruption. Distribution automation allows for greater system reliability, reduced power interruptions, enhanced system performance, and improved power quality. The global market for distribution automation, including automated switch-es, technologies for self-healing and grid optimization, capacitor banks, and voltage regulators, was valued at $2.71 billion in 2010 and is projected to increase to $10.43 billion in 2014.15 In the United States, it is estimated that distribution automation captured $2.2 billion, or 40 percent of the Smart Grid market in 2010; it is projected that distribution automation will increase to $5.6 billion, or 58 percent of the mar-ket, by 2015.16 Illinois has several major distribution automation projects under way:


• The Boeing Company, in collaboration with Commonwealth Edison, has chosen Chicago as the site of a $10.4 million demonstration of “a smart, highly auto-mated, secure, and self-healing electric distribution management system that will allow for integration of a greater amount of customer-owned energy resources and automation into the distribution system, increasing the value of energy resources to both end-use customers and utilities.”17

• On-Ramp Wireless, Inc. of California and Schweitzer Engineering Labs of Lake Zurich, Illinois, are conducting a $2.8 million distribution automation project to increase reliability and allow for remote monitoring of distribution systems. These two projects are among six Smart Grid demonstration projects that were selected throughout the nation in November 2010.18

• Distribution automation is the focus of phase I of NSGI, with S&C Electric leading the distribution automation portion of the comprehensive pilot.

• Accenture Technology Labs of Chicago is heavily involved in distribution automa-tion consulting.

• Schweitzer Engineering Labs (Lake Zurich, IL), EESCO (Chicago, Elk Grove Vil-lage, other Illinois locations), ABB Group (Bolingbrook, IL), and DA Solutions (Bluffs, IL) are key players in management control, as are Schaumburg-based Mo-torola, S&C Electric, Blue Island-based G&W Electric, and Palatine-based Schnei-der Electric (U.S. division), all of whom are international leaders in the switch gear market.

Sensing and Measurement—Illinois Demand Response, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and Related ExamplesSensing and measurement technologies enable, among other things, demand re-sponse—the management of electricity consumption by both utilities and consum-ers in response to power supply conditions, load problems, and time-based pricing (which allows consumers to reduce consumption during peak pricing periods). The 2010 U.S. market for demand response was about $1.3 billion, and the market is ex-pected to reach upward of $2.8 billion by 2015 and more than $8 billion by 2020.19 Already, major demand response projects are under way in Illinois, including:

• A collaborative of the Northern Illinois Energy Project, Citizens’ Utility Board (CUB), and Edison Mission Group has installed demand response technology in 18 high-rise residential buildings in downtown Chicago. Going beyond traditional one-way demand response programs, these buildings are using two-way systems


that reduce consumption at times of peak use and allow buildings to participate in wholesale energy markets in a way that cuts costs for the buildings.

• The Illinois-Korea Smart Buildings Initiative, part of the Illinois Smart Buildings Initiative (ISBI), is a pilot project to test smart technologies and develop new busi-ness models collaboratively between the Korea Consortium (KT, LGE, and Nara Controls) and the Illinois Coalition (Draper and Kramer, Illinois Science & Technol-ogy Coalition, and CUB). The ISBI will be the first of its kind to offer multi-building ancillary services with its energy efficiency demonstration project. The ISBI will demonstrate demand-side participation in PJM’s ancillary service markets using advanced communications, control technology, and energy efficient equipment in-stalled in several multi-unit residential buildings. If successful in the initial buildings, an additional phase incorporating commercial/retail buildings will be initiated.

• The City of Naperville’s Smart Grid Initiative includes a demand-response compo-nent as part of phases II and III of the program.

• ComEd completed an AMI pilot in 2011 involving 131,000 participants encom-passing Bellwood, Berwyn, Broadview, Chicago, Forest Park, Hillside, Maywood, Melrose Park, Oak Park, River Forest, and Tinley Park. Based on the results of this pilot, it is estimated that cumulative benefits will significantly exceed cumulative costs by a factor of almost three over a 20-year evaluation period. Benefits result from improved operational efficiencies ($1,625 million), reduced power purchase costs ($707 million), reduction in bad debt expenses ($791 million), new energy revenues ($1,051 million), and new delivery service revenues ($564 million). Tak-ing account of all costs and benefits, and assuming adjustments to customer rates, the net present value (NPV) of the AMI program to ComEd customers is $1,296 million over the 20-year evaluation term, a result independent of ComEd’s demand-response programs or related plans.20

Improved Interfaces and Decision Support—Illinois ExamplesResearch is being done around the state in academic and commercial settings to address the issue of improved interfaces and decision support. At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, for example, researchers are developing techniques and tools (such as visualization, animation, color contouring, virtual reality, and other data display methods) to better glean information from the ever-growing stream of data generated with Smart Grid technologies. This work is part of the project “Effective Power System Control Center Visualization,” which is funded by the Power Systems Engineering Research Center.


Integrated Communications—Illinois ExamplesNumerous efforts are under way to develop and commercialize integrated communi-cations technologies, including efforts by S&C Electric, Accenture, Motorola, Siemens, IIT, and UIUC.

Ancillary Technologies Supporting Smart Grid and Related DevelopmentsEnergy StorageEnergy storage technologies include batteries (lithium-ion, sodium sulfur, and flow), compressed air energy storage, pumped hydroelectric, and flywheel.21 Driven by the rise of intermittent renewable energy production, the deployment of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, and the Smart Grid itself, the global market for energy storage will increase rapidly, from about $1.5 billion in 2010 to more than $10 billion in 2015 and about $35 billion in 2020.22 According to the Electric Advisory Commit-tee, there are many benefits to deploying energy storage technologies into the nation’s grid. Energy storage can provide 1) the means to improve grid optimization for bulk power production, 2) a way to facilitate power system balancing in systems that have variable or diurnal renewable-energy sources, 3) a way to facilitate the integration of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) power demands with the grid, 4) a way to defer investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure to meet peak loads, and 5) a resource to provide ancillary services directly to grid/market operators.

• Illinois has the institutional support to be a leader in energy storage, with Illinois universities and laboratories as partner institutions in 5 out of the Department of Energy’s 12 Energy Frontier Research Centers. Argonne National Laboratory is the lead institution for the Center for Electrical Energy Storage, with a proposed alloca-tion of $19 million over five years starting in 2009. The two partner institutions in the Center for Electrical Energy Storage are Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.23

• Schaumburg-based Toda America Inc. manufactures components of lithium-ion bat-teries and received a $35 million grant from the Department of Energy to “establish a high-volume advanced battery supplier manufacturing facility in the U.S. in order to become a strong and supportive strategic supply partner to the U.S. advanced battery industry.”24

• Argonne’s Electrochemical Analysis and Diagnostics Laboratory (EADL) in the Transportation Technology R&D Center (Argonne National Lab) focuses on testing advanced batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries for plug-in hybrid electric ve-hicles.25 The EADL received $8.8 million in ARRA funding for a battery cell fabrica-tion facility, a materials production scale-up facility, and a post-test analysis facility.


Electric Vehicles (EVs)Electrification of vehicles hinges on a smarter grid. The advent of electric vehicles and their charging requirements are likely to increase electricity demands dramatically. Early estimates warn that the current distribution grid is not dimensioned for more than a 15 to 20 percent penetration of electric vehicles. Not only can Smart Grid al-low for increasingly clean energy as a source for EVs, but key Smart Grid–enabling technologies can readily reroute current idle production capacity to supply an esti-mated 73 percent of the energy needs of today’s vehicles.26

Electric and hybrid vehicle sales are steadily increasing in both number and percent-age of total automobiles sold, and growth is expected to continue unabated. Of the top ten largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the United States, the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet MSA is projected to be the third highest for light-duty plug-in elec-tric vehicle sales, after New York and Los Angeles, from 2011 to 2017 (the end of the prediction time period).27 Overall, the state of Illinois is predicted to capture the fifth-largest share of EV sales of any state, after California, New York, Texas, and Florida.28

With support from state and research institutions and multiple public-private sector projects, electric vehicles are an important strength for the Illinois Smart Grid ecosys-tem. Illinois is beginning to provide the requisite infrastructure to support EV use, as illustrated by the following projects:

• Carbon Day Automotive (through the ChargePoint Network), based in Chicago, has installed 36 level 1 and 2 stations in Chicagoland and Springfield. An additional 25 already have been sold in Chicagoland; Carbon Day anticipates selling another 250 in the coming year. Carbon Day charging stations are among the first solar powered stations in the nation; the first wind-powered charging station in the conti-nental United States is CDA’s station in Highland Park.

• 350Green, working with the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois on an $8.8 million project funded internally and by grants, plans to install 207 level 2 and 73 level 3 stations in the Chicagoland area. Already one-third of the level 3 stations have been installed.

• Eaton Corporation is working with Mitsubishi and the municipality of Normal on the EV Town initiative, installing more than 50 level 2 stations, as well as a number of level 3 stations through 2012 in order to provide infrastructure for the Mitsubi-shi i-MiEV.

• Illinois Institute of Technology and Eaton Corporation are deploying 6 Smart Grid–capable electric vehicle charging stations on its Perfect Power microgrid in 2012,


plus the first publicly available DC Quick Charge station in the country to provide 15- to 20-minute charging.

RenewablesSmart Grid and Smart Grid technologies are essential to any meaningful market pen-etration of renewables. Already, Illinois has become heavily involved with renewable energy research, testing, and application, with these markets—and associated employ-ment growth—poised to expand under a Smart Grid paradigm.

• Scientists at the Illinois Institute of Technology secured a $7.9 million ARRA grant and matched it with additional funds for a $14.6 million project, conducting wind energy research in conjunction with graduate-level Smart Grid education.

• Winergy Drive Systems (Elgin) and Siemens Industry (Buffalo Grove and various locations) received ARRA grants of $12.8 million and $28.3 million, respectively, to enhance domestic gearbox manufacturing, bolstering the manufacturing economy domestically through Illinois. Winergy will produce all of its units domestically with the execution of this project.

• Exelon Power completed the $10 million Exelon City Solar project in 2010. At 10 MW and with 32,292 solar photovoltaic panels, it is the largest urban solar power plant in Chicago and in the country.29

• Various companies and institutions in Illinois have captured over $30 million in funding from the Department of Energy for research, manufacturing, and projects involving photovoltaics. More than three-quarters of this funding—$24.4 million—is for projects integrating photovoltaics with energy storage.

• S&C Electric captured $6.1 million of federal and state funding to develop devices and switchgear to integrate renewable energy into grid distribution systems.

• ComEd captured a $4.5 million ARRA grant for a research project on market re-search on photovoltaics and energy storage within automatic-meter infrastructure.

• Argonne National Laboratory’s Electrochemical Analysis and Diagnostics Labora-tory (EADL) conducts research on energy storage for utilities.30 Argonne’s National Center for Energy Storage Research (NCESR), currently in development, will add to this research.


• Horizon Wind Energy, LLC; Iberdrola Renewables; State Farm Insurance; Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation; and others have collaborated in founding the Center for Renewable Energy at Illinois State University, capturing $990,000 in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and additional grant funds from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation for research and education.31

• Three out of four winners of Clean Energy Trust’s 2011 Clean Energy Challenge—Clean Urban Energy, NextGen Solar LLC, and Lotus Creative Innovations—are companies working in renewable energy and energy storage.

• More than 100 Illinois companies are part of the state’s wind energy supply chain, including at least 13 global or U.S. headquarters of major wind power companies in Chicago, providing the state with more than 2,000 MW of wind energy capacity, the seventh highest in the nation.32

Illinois Efforts Under way to Guide Successful Smart Grid Implementation

Network and CybersecurityNetwork and cybersecurity concerns loom large in a Smart Grid future. Already, Il-linois has shown itself to be a key leader in security innovations through the following organizations and institutions:

• From 2005 to 2010, the Information Trust Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign received $18.8 million from the departments of Energy and Homeland Security and subsequent $7 million in additional state funding to develop the Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for the Power Grid (TCIPG) Initiative. TCIPG is working with an industry-based external advisory board and an industry interac-tion board, comprising more than 30 government and research institutions, utilities, and private sector vendors and grid operators, to foster and catalyze the deployment of Smart Grid security research and improve the way the grid infrastructure is built.

• Argonne National Laboratory conducts ongoing research in cybersecurity and re-ceived subcontracts from the Battelle Memorial Institute.

Smart Grid Workforce ReadinessIllinois is home to some of the finest colleges and universities providing the workforce and skills needed to succeed in a Smart Grid world.

• In April 2010, IIT was awarded $12.6 million in grants to create a Smart Grid Train-ing and Education Center. The Center works closely with trade associations, Argonne


National Laboratory, power companies, and other educational institutions to de-velop curricula and educational experiences to help ensure an Illinois workforce is available to meet the needs of a Smart Grid.

• ComEd’s Smart Grid 2011 pilot results, moreover, will inform IIT and other stake-holders of the efficacy of Smart Grid technology and associated skills and compe-tencies required.

• Researchers at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Illinois Institute of Technology have contributed to various reports detailing competencies required of utility workers in a Smart Grid environment.33

• The recently enacted Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act requires funding from ComEd and Ameren for workforce development efforts.

Policy and Regulatory LeadershipAlready, the state’s regulatory leadership, through the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) and the Illinois Power Agency (IPA), are considering the policy and regulatory changes need to incorporate seismic changes in the way utilities operate in a Smart Grid environment. The ICC’s Illinois Statewide Smart Grid Collaborative (ISSGC) and the IPA’s predictive models place Illinois regulators ahead of their peers. These bodies are supported by groups such as the Citizens Utility Board, which for 25 years has been a leader in protecting consumer rights and promoting demand response and other consumer education programs.

The ISSGC included more than 100 stakeholders representing a wide range of eco-nomic interests and sectors and have considered, among other issues, methods of estimating, calculating, and assessing benefits and costs—both quantifiable and non-quantifiable, and various cost recovery approaches.

Forward-Looking PartnershipThe ISGRIC, working through the ISTC, and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) part-nered to develop a white paper on Smart Grid platform planning that provides methodologies for thinking about prioritizing Smart Grid initiatives. Current Illinois efforts are being highlighted as examples of effective, innovative, and forward-looking initiatives. However, the efforts are still somewhat fragmented: No single government authority or commercial entity is charged with coordinating Smart Grid development in a comprehensive way. To provide that perspective, the group has developed a plat-


form approach to Smart Grid planning. This tool allows multiple entities to collabo-rate in order to determine investment priorities and envision the best Smart Grid for a region or area. It will help define where to go, and how to get there.

Consumer EducationISGRIC has provided support to Chicago-based start-up Smart Grid Network, Inc. for the development of a consumer engagement platform at smartgrid.com. This first-of-a-kind Smart Grid social network helps consumers understand how a smarter grid can empower them to manage their energy usage more effectively. Smartgrid.com has two components—information from authorized content providers on Smart Grid initia-tives and a Facebook-style social network that allows consumers, solution providers, and enablers to communicate on issues of interest.

The website can serve as a platform for:• Individuals to develop a network of trusted advisers for identifying and selecting

Smart Grid solutions.

• Countries, states, and communities to highlight Smart Grid projects and attract best-of-class solutions suitable for their local requirements.

• Utilities to learn about their customers’ needs, expectations, and demands and in-form customers of new offerings.

• Universities and research centers to highlight ongoing Smart Grid research and edu-cation programs.

• Solution providers to promote their products and services.


Smart Grid implementation in Illinois is under way. Smart Grid can not only amelio-rate current problems associated with today’s power supply, but also offer enormous economic opportunities for Illinois businesses and consumers, in terms of growth in businesses, jobs, and tax revenues. Illinois, with its tremendous educational, R&D, and business resources, is the ideal environment for an expeditious and successful statewide Smart Grid implementation. As such, Illinois is implementing Smart Grid in a thoughtful and careful way by providing timely information and education to all stakeholders and enhanced marketing efforts to “sell” this new power paradigm. Moreover, as part of Illinois’ Smart Grid rollout, policy and regulatory changes are being made that support the Smart Grid business case. Finally, to prepare Illinois’ workforce for Smart Grid, job and skills training programs and cybersecurity strat-egies are being rapidly developed. Smart Grid implementation will not only help Illinois generate and use energy in a more cost-effective and efficient manner, but also lead to Illinois serving as a national model for states across the nation that want to replicate its success.

5 Conclusion


Smart Grid “Key Technology Areas” Fact Sheet

The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Modern Grid Strategy groups various technologies that can enable Smart Grid operation into five “key technology areas.” In brief:

Advanced Components play an active role in determining the electrical behavior of the grid. They can be applied in stand-alone applications, such as smart meters, or con-nected together to create complex systems, such as microgrids.

Advanced Control Methods involve devices and algorithms that analyze, diagnose, and predict conditions in a Smart Grid and allow for appropriate corrective action to mitigate and prevent outages and power quality disturbances. Examples include substation automation and distribution automation.

Sensing and Measurement technologies are an essential component of a fully smart power grid; they enhance power system measurements, enable the transformation of data into information, allow for consumer choice and demand response, and help relieve grid congestion as necessary. Examples include advanced metering infrastruc-ture (AMI), wide-area monitoring systems, and outage monitoring and management systems.

Improved Interfaces and Decision Support should be implemented if grid operators and managers are to have the tools and training they need to maximize Smart Grid opera-tion. Examples include microgrid control software and power distribution analysis software.

Integrated Communications are the underpinnings of the other four key technology areas and a defining characteristic of Smart Grid. Integrated Communications es-sentially allows for dynamic, interactive real-time information and power exchange, allowing users to control various intelligent electronic devices in an integrated system. Examples include broadband power line, WiFi, WiMax, and ZigBee.

6 Appendix


Smart Grid Economic Impact Fact Sheet

Direct Job Creation: Smart Grid technologies have the potential to create substantial numbers of new jobs—green and otherwise. KEMA, a global energy consulting firm, forecasts Smart Grid projects in the United States to reach $64 billion, catalyzed by a potential disbursement of $16 billion in Smart Grid incentives. These projects trans-late into roughly 280,000 anticipated new U.S. jobs by 2018.34

Innovation and Associated Employment Growth: Opening the grid to innovation will en-able markets to grow unfettered and innovation to flourish. As an indicator, consider the market-making effect of opening up the telephone industry in the 1980s. With revenues of $33 billion at the time, the ensuing proliferation of consumer-centric products and services transformed telecommunications into a $117 billion market as of 2006. Jobs, in turn, exploded.

Other utility industries have generated considerable economic activity and job growth as they incorporated information technology capabilities, much like that envisioned for the current electric grid; two examples are the cable industry and the cellular tele-phone industry. From 2002 to 2007, direct and indirect nationwide employment at-tributable to the cable industry increased by almost 367,000 jobs, or nearly 5 percent of all net new jobs created by the U.S. economy over this five-year period. Cable’s economic impacts are spread throughout all major sectors of the U.S. economy, with the largest impact in the information, services, and manufacturing sectors. Wireless services are among the industries with the highest job growth, according to the Cel-lular Telephone Industry Association. Direct wireless carrier employment has grown at a rate of 4.1 percent annually, with total estimated direct employment reaching 249,200 at the end of 2009.35

Indirect Job Creation: The number of new indirect jobs created as a result of a Smart Grid is expected to be even larger than the number of direct jobs, with estimates averaging two additional jobs or more for every new Smart Grid job.36 Demand for new products and services will be created not only to build the Smart Grid, but also to support it. Smart Grid, moreover, is universally understood to be the key enabling technology for renewable energy development, electric vehicle adoption, and energy efficiency improvements. Investments in clean energy create 16.7 jobs for every $1 million in spending. Investing in fossil fuels, by contrast, generates 5.3 jobs per $1 million in spending. Illinois could see a net increase of about $6.6 billion in invest-ment revenue and 70,000 jobs, based on its share of a total of $150 billion in annual national clean-energy investments.37


Induced Employment Effects: New workers involved in Smart Grid utilities and sup-porting jobs contribute to additional and “unrelated” job and income growth as they spend a portion of their income locally (at restaurants, grocery stores, dry cleaners, and hair salons, for example) to meet household and personal needs.

Avoided Costs: Smart Grid employment will necessarily result in avoided costs, or cash and in-kind benefits and program costs avoided when previously unemployed or underemployed individuals obtain new jobs. A full accounting of the benefits of Smart Grid to the state of Illinois should integrate the value of the social services avoided by reduced unemployment as well as the tax revenues generated by new jobs.

GDP Growth: Every $1 billion of investment in Smart Grid technology is projected to propel $100 billion in GDP growth.38 Greater consumer control over power con-sumption, moreover, could add $5 billion to $7 billion annually to the U.S. economy by 2015 and $15 billion to $20 billion per year by 2020. Distributed generation technologies (such as electricity produced at or near the site where it will be used) and smart, interactive storage for residential and small commercial applications will likely add another $10 billion per year if 10 percent penetration is achieved by 2020.39

Reduced Costs: Costs associated with power disturbances and transmission conges-tion will be ameliorated, to the tune of $49 billion40 and $4.8 billion per year,41 respectively. In addition, wholesale electricity prices will be reduced compared with the current situation; this decrease will be achieved through a reduction in peak loads and energy conservation. Assuming an overall average wholesale price for electricity of approximately $47 per megawatt hour (MWh) and annual sales of roughly 3.5 bil-lion per MWh, a 1 percent drop in average price would result in an economic savings in the United States of more than $1.5 billion annually.42 Increasing energy efficiency, renewable energy, and distributed generation would save an estimated $36 billion an-nually by 2025.43

Reduced Infrastructure Spending: By optimizing systems, a Smart Grid can reduce the need for massive infrastructure investments, with estimates ranging from $46 billion to $117 billion over the next 20 years.44 Dollars that remain in the economy rather than “paying the freight” for system inefficiency are dollars that society can put to good use for job creation and other social goods.


Smart Grid Environmental Benefits Fact Sheet

From food safety to personal health, a compromised environment threatens us all. The United States accounts for only 4 percent of the world’s population, but produces 25 percent of its greenhouse gases. Half of the country’s electricity is still produced by burning coal—a major contributor to global warming. If the United States and Illinois are to reduce our carbon footprint and stake a claim to global environmental leader-ship, clean, renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind, and geothermal must be integrated into the nation’s grid. Smart Grid will enable this integration to happen. • The U.S. Department Energy suggests that 100 percent penetration of Smart Grid

technology in the United States could lead to upward of an 18 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.45

• Illinois is home to more than 1,800 megawatts of wind generation capacity, which is enough to power more than 500,000 homes with clean, emissions‐free electric-ity (Illinois Wind Energy Association). Smart Grid deployment will allow Illinois to maximize its use of clean wind energy as a power source. Regaining our early lead in solar and wind vis-à-vis other nations or states will create an enduring green-collar economy.

• The increased efficiencies from real-time usage data also will have environmental benefits. If the electrical grid were just 5 percent more efficient, it could displace the equivalent of 42 coal-fired power plants and would equate to permanently elimi-nating the fuel and greenhouse gas emissions from 53 million cars.46

• In the United States, buildings account for 38 percent of all CO2 emissions and rep-resent 72 percent of U.S. electricity consumption.47 Increasing the energy efficiency of public and private buildings will be a hallmark of the adoption of Smart Grid.

• The adoption of Smart Grid technologies will create the platform for a wide range of advanced and low-carbon technologies such as electric vehicles, peak load man-agement, and reduction of utility service fleets. At present, the nation’s transporta-tion sector emits 20 percent of all carbon dioxide we produce.48

The impact of vehicle particulate emissions in urban areas can be reduced as the num-ber of miles driven by conventional vehicles is offset by miles driven by electric vehicles; public health improvements and associated cost reductions will necessarily follow.


Listing of Illinois Companies and Organizations Affected by Smart Grid Development: Currently Involved in Smart Grid or With the Potential to be Engaged.

Companies in Illinois working in the smart grid sectorThe list on the following pages includes 54 companies—ranging from start-ups to multinationals—that are directly working towards creating a smarter grid. Involve-ment is classified by position in the Smart Grid supply chain, (such as energy produc-tion, distribution, transmission, and/or consumption). Companies working in energy generation include utilities producing energy as well as companies working on en-ergy storage, distributed generation, and vehicle-to-grid technologies and integrating renewable energy into the energy supply. Companies working in transmission include those working on automation and control, routing and switching, smart substations, and devices. Companies working in energy distribution include those concentrat-ing on distribution automation, smart substations, and devices. Finally, companies with a consumer focus in the energy supply chain include those working on demand response; electric vehicles, and associated infrastructure; and home, commercial, and industrial building energy management. Some products, such as SCADA systems, AMI, and security systems, span sectors, so that a company focusing on one product might have involvement with multiple sectors of the supply chain. Likewise, some types of organizations, such as those in manufacturing, offer products relevant to multiple sec-tors of the supply chain.

Of the state’s 31 Fortune 500 companies, 13 are working either on projects that con-tribute directly to the development of a Smart Grid or in related sectors. In addition, at least 26 venture capital and investment banking companies in Illinois have sup-ported energy-related projects. Depending on their involvement, these companies are included below or in Appendix C.
