The FY 2013 Budget Request for the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy program seeks $2.267 billion, an increase of $457.7 million over FY 2012. Key goals include making renewable electricity competitive without subsidies by 2030 through initiatives for solar, wind, water, and geothermal technologies. In transportation, the goals are to reduce oil imports by 1/3 by 2025 through electric vehicles, biofuels, and advanced batteries and fuel cells. The budget restructures EERE programs along a technology readiness level approach from research through commercialization.
Similar to Feasibility of AMI and Smart Grid in Brazil - Lessons Learned - botelho chowdhury- final (20)
Here are some reasons.....
Too many moving parts (from people management, scheduling, constructions crews to light reading)
It’s not one size fit’s all (a design can be perfect for an Urban environment while may be totally wrong for the Suburban or Rural topology)
It’s hard to find good trained people
Constant training is required for Technology, Standards and Process
Weather, permits and coordination between the stakeholders
Technology design and configuration: There are three parts in an FTTH network: the optical line terminal (OLT), optical network terminal (ONT) and the optical distribution network (ODN ). ODN strongly impacts the total cost, system performance and reliability of FTTH networks) has five components: feeder, optical cable distribution node, cable distribution part, cable access point and home access
Universal testing
Lack of Project Management tool which is easy to use, track budget, inventory and has easy to use knowledge repository

Doe Oai Audit Report On Sg Program Jan 2012John Chowdhury
Federal Grant Recipients Lack Cybersecurity Plans
Cybersecurity plans submitted as part of the U.S. Department of Energy\'s (DOE) Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) program were, in some cases, incomplete or insufficient, according to an internal investigation.
Audits of the SGIG program, performed by the DOE\'s Office of Audits and Inspections (OAI), were prompted by two reports - the OAI\'s "Federal Energy Regulatory Commission\'s Monitoring of Power Grid Cyber Security" and the U.S. Government Accountability Office\'s "Electricity Grid Modernization" - that identified weaknesses in cybersecurity guidelines.

Power Quality Management
21. Pathways to Smart Utility - Energisa
Distributed Generation:
Very low penetration of Distributed Generation
In April 2012 federal regulator released rule REN 482/2012 introducing net
metering scheme for DG and provided for the first time mechanism to introduce
micro-mini generation (<1 MW) with net-metering. Surplus produced beyond
consumption can be credited and used in 36 months.
Parity to grid in some locations but economics are not favorable for mass
deployment without subsidies.
With TOU and other liberalized movements on energy trading, DG could be
potential disruptive business model for traditional utilities
