At its essence, a Smart Grid is the following: More consumer data for more efficient decisions on Technologies Use characteristics More enabling of the following: Energy storage Plug in hybrids Renewable power integration Smart buildings which manage load on-site More appropriate to new era of Renewable Portfolio Standards (now in 30 states) More responsive to time-of-use pricing signals Collection of many different specific elements when linked together offer far greater system efficiency and resiliency and lower costs
- 38. How does a Smart Grid support Electric Vehicle Use: More decentralized / more distributed / lower transmission costs More agile voltage support + sub-second frequency modulation More time-responsive More accommodating of wind, solar and other renewable source load curves and capacity factors More demand responsive / use of tiered + off-peak tariffs More supply responsive / “low NOx dispatch” More linked between customer and supplier / full net metering More systems data for real time management / “ Vehicle to Grid” use ? More systems data for emergency management Much more than just smart meters In other words, ideal for EV off-peak tarriffs

- 47. AQMD Smart Grid Support Policies - I The use of smart grid technology that improves reliability, security, and efficiency of the electric grid should be encouraged and facilitated. Cost reduction opportunities should also be maximized. Smart grid upgrades to the electrical distribution system should make it more accommodating of wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable energy sources where possible . Smart grid upgrades to the electrical distribution system should facilitate installation of equipment that provides more systems data that enables improved management of electrical distribution during emergencies where possible.
- 48. AQMD Smart Grid (SG) Support Policies - II Be as technology neutral as possible, and based on open standards to maximize results from technology investments which allow for the switch out of components without replacing whole systems. The SG network should, to the extent feasible, include planning and funding for additional transmission lines that can transport power from one region to another and connect ‘power-demand cities’ with potentially remote areas where renewable power is likely to be generated. The SG network should allow for the transmission of power and energy across regions and across states consistent with appropriate siting criteria.
- 49. AQMD Smart Grid (SG) Support Policies - III In view of access to consumer information by the Smart Grid, the network must be kept secure and the consumer’s privacy must be safeguarded from unauthorized access and fraud. Incentives should be provided wherever feasible and cost-effective to consumers for in-home devices such as smart thermostats, smart appliances, lighting controls, in-home energy displays, and load control switches . Incentives should be provided wherever feasible and cost-effective to businesses for automating commercial offices and/or buildings, including smart thermostats, lighting controls, smart thermostats, energy displays, and load control switches .
- 50. AQMD Smart Grid Support Policies - IV Incentives should be provided to consumers for investment in intelligent electrical network equipment for enhancing monitoring, control and distribution where feasible and cost-effective. Incentives should be provided to utility companies for installation of grid monitoring and control devices such as transformer monitors and voltage sensors where feasible and cost-effective. Incentives should be provided to cities that incorporate electric vehicle integration to connection stations where feasible and cost-effective. Any grant or incentive programs should give priority to environmental justice areas and areas with disproportionate air quality impacts.
- 51. Conclusions The Electric Drive era has already started Smart Grid deployment offers significant benefits to help deploy PHEVs and BEVs Linking renewable generation with electric vehicles is an essential element of de-carbonizing transportation SG deployment should be designed to be as agile and robust as possible to support advances in plug-in technology
