Current Situation of US Electrical Grids



From 1990 to 2003 electricity demand increased by 25% at the same
time construction of transmission facilities were reduced by 30%. –
DOE
The U.S. will need to spend $10 Trillion in the electrical infrastructure
by 2030. – Pricewaterhouse Coopers
70% of the U.S. electrical transmission lines are 25 years or older,
70% of power transformers are 25 years or older, 60% of circuit
breakers are more than 30 years old, thus approximately 60% of the
aging U.S. electrical infrastructure will need to be replaced within the
next 10-15 years. – Harbor Research
Keeping Pace With the Information Society

“The greatest challenge facing electric distribution is responding to
rapidly changing customer needs for electricity. Increased use of
information technologies, computers, and consumer electronics has
lowered the tolerance for outages, fluctuations in voltages and
frequency levels, and other power quality disturbances. Source: “Grid
2030” A National Vision for Electricity’s Second 100 Years, p 7

Taking Advantage of a “Dumb Grid”



The Grid is not dumb, it just needs to be used smarter.
You can make use of the existing infrastructure to meet
new Smart Grid needs.
Automatic meter reading is not a “Smart Grid”, it is just
one piece of the Smart Grid.

BPL as Communications Network
•
•
•
BPL Backhaul is inexpensive - 4% of the price of an AMI program
Large Scale AMI deployments cost per Megabit is 30% of GPRS Solution
Operating Costs (OpEx) costs are lowest for BPL
•
•
BPL supports Utility Applications of the next 20 Years
•
•
•
•
•
Uses utilities own assets (no telecom fees)
Delivers up to 40Mbps on MV lines
Delivers up to 100Mbps on LV lines
Only Communications technology providing inherent information about
the status of the Utility Assets
Low Risk of Ownership – Corinex Utility Grade BPL
Leverage BPL technology as insurance against escalating energy prices
and the ever increasing carbon footprint
