5 ESBN/EPRI EV Project Objectives Assess capacity of LV Network for EV Assess potential barriers to future Vehicle to Grid Assess possibility of using EV as ballast load for WIND, Assess feasibility of faster charging on LV network by using Smart Meters to share charging capacity Progress to date Wind Follow up Use Case progressed further 38kV Voltage Regulator currently being installed for Project 1 1 Month 5sec Metering data collected for two Wind farms for Project 2 Single Transformer Station Design almost completed EV Project Initial Use case progressed Contract for EV s purchase completed to arrive in Summer Green Smart Circuits One Circuit provided to EPRI for initial Modelling Amorphous Core Transformers Sourced Lab testing of Micro-Planet completed 5

6 EU and Irish Government Policy for Smart Meters Implementation of EU directives Program for Government proposes smart meters Energy Regulator governed Phase 1 National Smart Metering Plan (pilots and cost benefit analysis) Significant gap between DNO costs and benefits Regulator Needs to be assured smart meters can deliver demand management, overall consumption reduction and support of renewables. National Smart Meter Customer Behaviour Trial Objective is to ascertain the potential for smart meter technology to effect measurable change in consumer Q Recruitment behaviour Q Meters Installed 6400 statistically representative customers One year profile data per customer (at least 6 actual months) for benchmark period One year of stimuli and new time of use tariffs Final conclusions by CER based on ESRI National Business Case Study Technical challenge to deliver daily validated ToU data to be used for real billing Q Benchmark ends Q ToU Tariffs Stimuli Q Trial ends Analysis of results 6

7 Break down of Tariffs and stimulii Wholesale Market price Peak Tariff Night Day Year (M-F) Pure TA TB TC TD % more customers added to allow for fallout Annual electricity energy charges Also there is a trial of small businesses Behavioural Trial Stimuli 7

8 ESBN Solution for Behaviour Trial Meter Work Management and Delivery Systems 868 Mhz Elster In-home display Elster AS230 Smart meter Combined GPRS / RF module Solution will also be used for prepayment trial GPRS over Vodafone Mobile operators networks Customer receives bill based on profile data EI Server Meter Mgt, Data Mgt, Data Storage Master Data Readings for market Daily file with 24hrs of profile data Retailers pull down daily data Retailer A SAP ISU Customer and Meter master data Secure Website Retailer B Daily Consumption Profile Data as Captured by smart meter 8

9 ESBN s Smart Metering Project to Date We have delivered, tested and implemented systems, meters and display in line with required CER timetable and within budget Customer Behaviour Trial of 6,500 customers under way IHD developed and delivered ToU bills based on half hourly profile data issues All systems performing well and no negative reaction to ToU Increased competition in retail market has impacted on project Technology Trials of 3,500 customers Unique duel fuel smart metering trial Pre payment trial Technology Challenges for ESBN Population Distribution Functional Requirements Meter Positions Smart Grid compatible PLC viability? Will wireless work? Location Customers Rural 800,000 Villages 250,0000 Urban 1,300,000 Lack of Standards and product immaturity Distribution transformers 190,000 18,000 20,000 9
