The document discusses IBM's approach and solutions for the energy and utilities industry. It faces challenges like increased renewable energy, aging infrastructure, and more active customers. IBM addresses these with solutions across the energy value chain including smart grid technologies, analytics, security, and renewable integration. It has worked with many utilities globally. One project with PNNL and customers on the Olympic Peninsula demonstrated a 50% reduction in peak loads through a virtual marketplace that gave customers control and savings in exchange for flexibility.

- 9. IBM Research is using its considerable capabilities to tackle important smart grid challenges. High-Impedance Fault Detection and Characterization Develop a real time analytics engine for electric power grid diagnostics and optimization based on event data flows to and from sensor, actuator and control systems in the power grid Outage Root Cause Analysis Enable electric utilities to more quickly repair outages by rapidly identifying and repairing damaged network components using general outage root cause analysis regardless of the type of fault Integrated Distribution Outage Planning An innovative software offering to help utilities create an optimized outage plan using analytics and optimization engines to plan the time frame and load transfer paths for outages. Pacific Northwest Olympic Peninsula and Smart Grid Regional Demonstration Projects Demonstrate demand response to optimize the management of distributed energy resources. Develop new smart grid technologies in systems of systems architecture and interoperability, demand response, renewable integration, market-based system design, and social computing.
- 10. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Aiming to empower utility customers Business challenge As part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s GridWise® Program, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) wanted an innovative way to keep the electrical grid healthy in times of stress by managing electrical demand through a combination of intelligent technology and financial incentives. Solution PNNL set up two parallel studies. Smart appliances study: Tested “smart” appliances that could sense & respond to stress on the grid by temporarily curtailing electricity use. Virtual marketplace study: Created a virtual marketplace that allowed consumers to trade flexibility in usage for lower costs.
- 11. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Aiming to empower utility customers Olympic Peninsula Project: Using the free market to manage demand Teamed with IBM (IBM Waston Research Lab, running IBM WebShere Application Server). Consumers were able to trade flexibility in usage for lower costs. Preferences were set by customers with the ability to override at any time. Direct control over customers’ energy use on an individual basis Modify thermostat & water heater settings remotely in response to market rates & customer preference. Benefits 50 percent reduction in short-term peak electricity distribution loads, helping to avoid power restrictions and cascading blackouts 15 percent decrease in overall peak loads in the course of one year Consumers saved an average of 10 percent on their electricity bills Projection: US$70 billion reduction in infrastructure spending over 20 years through better management of existing resources Solution Components IBM WebSphere® Application Server Prototype Internet-scale control from the IBM Watson Research Labs “ We’re finding that people are actually curtailing their use and saving energy simply because they have greater control.” – Don Hammerstrom, project manager, Pacific Northwest Gridwise Demonstration Projects
