Key benefits include reduced costs for utilities from improved operations and maintenance, lower peak demand, and empowered consumers who can better manage energy usage.
IRJET- Service Quality in Distribution Systems with Deep Penetration of Renew...IRJET Journal
This document discusses service quality regulation in distribution systems with high penetration of renewable distributed energy resources. It investigates the impacts of different service quality regulations, including performance-based regulation and minimum quality standards, on reliability performance and investment decisions of distribution utilities. The document analyzes how reward-penalty schemes and minimum quality standards can be designed and implemented as regulatory tools. It also examines how these regulations may influence distribution automation strategies adopted by utilities. The methodology is tested on a test distribution system, with the impacts of different automation and regulation schemes evaluated over two five-year periods.
This document provides an overview of congestion management in power systems. It discusses that congestion occurs when the physical or operational limits of the transmission network are reached. Congestion management aims to prioritize transactions to avoid overloading the network. It involves both precautionary actions by system operators to allow only transactions within limits, and remedial actions if congestion occurs in real-time due to unscheduled flows. The document then covers various congestion management methods including explicit auctions, implicit auctions, market splitting, counter trading, and re-dispatching. It compares the characteristics and examples of different market-based and non-market based approaches.
This document discusses smart grids and the role of advanced metering infrastructure in India. It notes that India has one of the weakest electrical grids in the world with high transmission losses. A smart grid uses communication and information technologies to better manage electricity distribution and demand. Advanced metering infrastructure is a key component, allowing two-way communication between utilities and customers to provide energy usage data and enable demand response programs. This can help improve grid reliability and efficiency while empowering consumers.
This document discusses congestion issues and congestion management in power systems. It begins with an introduction to open access electricity markets and how they can lead to congestion from unexpected outages, load increases, or line failures. The document then defines network congestion and provides a graph demonstrating it. It describes the objectives of congestion management as minimizing interference of transmission networks, secure system operation, improved market efficiency, and managing power flows. It discusses how FACTS devices can help relieve congestion by controlling power flow parameters. The document concludes that proper modeling and placement of FACTS devices along with different dispatch and curtailment strategies can help manage congestion problems.
The document discusses demand side management (DSM) in the context of distribution generation and smart grids. It defines DSM as modifying consumer energy demand through methods like financial incentives or education. The goal is usually to encourage reducing energy use during peak hours or shifting it to off-peak times. This helps reduce the need for network and power plant investments to meet peak demand. The document then outlines various DSM programs and strategies like demand response, time-of-use pricing, and direct load control.
As triad avoidance becomes more popular and the market dynamics more complicated, the value of suppliers warninghs reduces. This can be addressed with active management using automated demand side reduction.

It provides background on utility costs and how rates are determined based on three main cost components: customer costs, energy/commodity costs, and demand costs. The summary then describes the basic rate structure most utilities follow, including customer charges, energy charges, and demand charges. It also discusses some common rate variations utilities use like seasonal pricing, block pricing, riders, and discounts.
This document discusses key concepts related to costs and pricing in telecommunications markets. It distinguishes telecom as a true "network industry" due to network effects, where adding new customers benefits both those customers and existing customers. This influences policies like universal service and interconnection requirements. Regulatory policy must account for network effects and competition. Telecom costs are largely fixed, with minimal variable costs for usage. Efficient pricing would be a simple flat monthly fee, but demand factors require alternative pricing structures. The document also discusses concepts like standalone costs, traffic-sensitive vs. non-traffic-sensitive costs, and how price discrimination can be used to improve industry performance without extensive price regulation.

Energy storage can provide multiple value streams through load management and ancillary services. Load management includes consumer and utility services like demand charge reduction and transmission deferral. Ancillary services like frequency regulation have high value. To maximize value, a storage system should stack services over time, prioritizing the highest valued. In Chicago, distributed storage has high value due to transmission deferral and frequency regulation market prices. A joint utility-consumer business model could further improve returns by leveraging both sets of value streams. Flow batteries currently have the best financial metrics for utility-scale projects in Chicago.
The utility landscape is dynamic. Some pundits claim that traditional utility regulation is becoming obsolete. Others are calling for a complete overhaul of utility ratemaking as we know it; distributed energy resources, technology advancements and societal trends are changing the way utilities function. In such turbulent times, how can utilities manage their financials through rate structures? How can utilities bridge the span between the rate and regulatory frameworks of yesterday and tomorrow? One way to do so is to revisit the design of rate offerings available to all utility customers and to residential customers in particular.
Economic Development Rates For UtilitiesJohn Wolfram
Economic development rates (EDRs) provide discounted utility rates to attract new businesses and encourage existing business expansion. EDRs aim to give utilities an advantage in business site selection. Key features of EDRs include temporary discounts that phase out over time, caps on total discounts, and ensuring other customers are no worse off. Regulators determine if discounts are paid by other customers or shareholders, with many allowing recovery from other rates between rate cases. EDRs following common principles can boost utilities while promoting economic growth.
This document summarizes a webinar on net metering policies for tribes. It defines net metering as allowing electricity customers who generate their own power to send excess electricity back to the grid. It outlines key components of net metering policies like system size limits and credits for excess generation. It provides examples of net metering programs and discusses debates around the appropriate rate for crediting solar generation. The webinar aimed to help tribes understand net metering policies to inform renewable energy projects.
1. The document discusses strategies for setting tariffs for power plants. It explains that tariffs include fixed charges and variable charges based on electricity usage.
2. Regulatory bodies determine tariffs and ensure they efficiently allocate resources, satisfy fairness principles, and generate sufficient revenue for utilities.
3. The document provides examples of how to calculate the cost of electricity generation and the tariff rate based on total generation costs. It describes designing wholesale tariffs through determining revenue requirements and tariff structures.
1) Deregulation of energy markets gives consumers the power to choose their energy provider by allowing competitive suppliers to enter the market.
2) Under deregulation, consumers can choose their energy supplier but not their distributor, whose prices are still regulated.
3) Deregulation benefits consumers by promoting competition between suppliers, leading to innovative product offerings and potentially lower prices.
How do Third Party Charges Affect your Energy BillEMEX
Third-party charges are also known as non-energy or pass-through charges. They include the charges levied by network companies on energy suppliers for their customers’ use of the transmission and distribution networks. They also include the costs levied on suppliers by the Government as a means of funding its renewables, capacity, and energy efficiency policies.
Cornwall Energy’s Robert Buckley with guests will explain what makes up business energy bills, how the component parts of the bills are changing and what businesses can do to mitigate increases.
Many residential consumers are currently unaware of one of the easiest ways to reduce their cost of living. Some spend hours researching different smartphone data plans and cable services to save only a few dollars a month. By understanding what utility tariffs are and which ones are available, residents can unlock a new way to save more money in less time.
The document summarizes literature on the costs and benefits of net metering policies. It finds that three key studies estimate the cost of net metering to non-participating ratepayers to be between $0.00011 to $0.013 per kWh, which is a small fraction of overall rates. While net metering imposes costs through bill credits to participants, it also provides benefits through avoided energy and infrastructure costs. The document concludes net metering incentivizes renewable energy adoption but its costs could be reduced through simplifying rate structures and eliminating participation barriers.

This document analyzes outcomes, forgone benefits, and reform options for universal telecommunications service programs in Texas. It finds that:
1) Lifeline programs are more effective than high-cost programs at increasing subscription rates, likely due to higher demand elasticity among low-income households.
2) Universal service programs have significant forgone benefits in the form of deadweight losses from higher prices reducing consumption.
3) Proposed reforms like increasing revenue benchmarks, targeting subsidies to low-income subscribers, and adjusting subsidies in response to cost reductions could reduce costs while maintaining subscription rates.

Overview of rate setting & their role in smart gridbobprocter
This document discusses rate setting and the role of rates in the smart grid from an 80,000 foot view. It provides an overview of economic regulation of utilities, the goal of ensuring fair rates that approximate competitive results. It outlines the 5 steps of rate setting: determining prudent costs, revenue requirements, cost allocation, rate design, and setting rates. Rate design options including time-based rates are discussed, and why rate design is considered an element of the smart grid to better link costs and rates to manage costs and reduce peak usage.
Stage 1 of the roadmap focuses on developing standards, protocols, and codes of conduct. Key actions include developing grid interconnection standards, cybersecurity standards, and codes of conduct for customer data and utility-owned distributed energy resources. The objectives are to ensure safe, reliable, and secure grid operations and protect customer data and access to the grid. Challenges include interfacing with national organizations and integrating standards into state regulations.
Distributed energy resources (DERs) can provide net benefits to the electric system (e.g., congestion relief) and broader society (e.g., emission reductions). However, despite these advantages, the deployment of high penetrations of DER has proved challenging. Against this backdrop, the electric utility is often singled out as a fundamental barrier to deployment of DER assets. To overcome the perceived electric utility shortcomings, many stakeholders conclude that a completely new model is needed for the electric industry.
ScottMadden disagrees with this assessment and instead believes electric utilities maintain natural advantages that can be leveraged to deploy renewables and DER assets as well or better than some models being offered. In our 51st Phase II Roadmap, ScottMadden proposes leveraging the natural advantages of the electric utility in order to accelerate the deployment and penetration of DER assets.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Knowing about TDU fees
1. Knowing About TDU Fees
The Transmission & Distribution Utility (TDU) fees include different charges billed by your
local TDSP (Transmission & Distribution Service Provider). Some common elements of TDU
fees consist of:
Advanced Metering Charge: This amount is evaluated to recover a TDU’s charges
related to Advanced Metering Systems, to the level that they aren’t recovered in the
standard metering charge of a TDU.
Metering Charge: This is assessed to recover charges of a TDU for metering its
customer’s consumption, to the level that the TDU charge is a separate entity totally
for that purpose, which is approved by the PUC (Public Utility Commission).
Competition Transition Charge: This is calculated to recover charges of a TDU for
non-securitized costs linked with the transition to competition.
Nuclear Decommissioning Fee: This charge is evaluated to recover a TDU’s
expenses for decommissioning of nuclear generating locations from service,
decreasing residual radioactivity to a point that allows release of the property for
unrestricted utilization and termination of license.
System Benefit Fund: This non-bypassable charge is approved by the PUC to not go
beyond 65 cents per megawatt-hour, which in turn funds the one-time bill payment
support, low-income discount, commission administrative expenses, customer
education, and low-income energy efficiency plans.
Distribution System Charge: This amount based on the cost of delivery of
electricity to a consumer over wires and poles as well as other TDU facilities, but the
amount doesn’t include discretionary charges.
Transmission System Charge: This refers to one or more than one TDU
surcharge(s) on a consumer’s bill in any group. This consists of charges billed by the
TDU as tariff riders.
Transition Charge: Once a consumer decides to move over to the competition, this
charge is evaluated to recover a TDU’s costs for securitized expenses linked to the
transition.
2. As the charges mentioned above are recurring fees, typically every electricity bill will
feature them. However, while some of these are flat fees that won’t fluctuate, others may
differ in each bill depending on how many kilowatt-hours you utilize in a particular billing
cycle. For example, while every bill should show a fixed Advanced Metering Charge,
Metering Charge will vary from one bill to another, depending on the kWh you consume in
a specific billing cycle.
Your TDU fees may also feature some non-recurring fees that are assessed occasionally,
such as the Move-In Fees, Disconnect / Reconnect Fees, Forward Switch Fees, Meter
Tampering Fees, Meter Re-Read Fees etc.
Irrespective of whether they are non-recurring or recurring fees, TDU fees will be
evaluated by the TDSP for your region.
