7. Smart Grid Metrics (October 2012 results)
Customer / AMI Metrics
1) Number / % of advanced meter malfunctions where service is disrupted (.002%)
2) Load impacts from utility DR programs (42 MW summer reduction)
3) Percentage of DR enabled by AutoDR (capacity 6%, critical peak 3%)
4) Number / % of advanced meters with HAN / comparable devices registered (.085%)
5) Number / % of customers on a time variant or dynamic tariff (1.9% - 1.68% large C&I)
6) Number / % of escalated customer complaints related to a) smart meters (116) & b) HANs (39)
7) Number / % of advanced meters replaced before the end of expected useful life (12,667/.918%)
8) Number / % of advanced meter field tests performed at the request of customers (666, 3 failed)
9) Number / % of customers using SDG&E’s web portal to: a) access energy usage information,
b)enroll in utility energy information programs or c) who have authorized SDG&E to send
energy usage data to a 3rd party (17,649/1.28%)
10)Number of SDG&E Customers Enrolled in a Time Variant Electric Vehicle Tariff (701)

Storage Metric
11) MW & MWh of grid connected energy storage (20 MW, 10.1 MWh in and 7.5 MWh out)
Grid Operations Metrics
12) System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) (574 w/major events/60.6 w/out)
13) System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) Major Events Included / Major
Events Excluded (1.46 w/major events/0.46 w/out)
14) Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index (MAIFI) (.267)
15) Number / % of customers / circuits experiencing >12 sustained outages (.03%/1%)
16) Load factors; system and by customer class (54%)
17) Number and total nameplate capacity of customer-owned or operated grid-connected
distributed generation facilities (18,096/413.5MW)
18) Total annual electricity deliveries from customer-owned or operated grid-connected
distributed generation facilities (1.035.5 GWh – estimate from CEC)
19) Number / % of distribution circuits equipped with automation or control equipment
including SCADA (773/77%)
9. Are These the Right Metrics?
• The Folly of Rewarding “A” While Hoping for “B”
• What’s Missing?
o Environmental
o Customer participation in grid management
o Revenue protection
o Privacy and security
• What’s Coming?
o Increased use of metrics in rate cases and increased PBR
10. • SG data impacts WM, like reduced truck rolls from improved fault
location, fault isolation, CBM, automated response, etc. Need
more integration between systems like CIS AM, WM.
o Number of relationships between data points grows exponentially as data grows
• Increased availability and regulator demand for metrics, PBR
o CPUC wants more data and wants it faster
o Increased demand for data flows down from CPUC to every level of operations
• SG data enables better asset management, particularly with regard to
the demands on our system created by renewable integration:
generation forecasting, cust load mgmt, power quality, system stability
AM and Operations Impacts
Slide 10
11. • Analytics
o Data refreshes: monthly>weekly>daily>?
o No longer, “what happened?” but “what’s happening now”
• BI becomes the platform for client self-service
o “I don’t know what I want, but show me the data” results in…
o “Give me everything”
o Hana allows SDG&E to take in data and quickly make it available to the client
so they can do discovery
o Show me the data and I’ll build the report vs. tell us what you want and we’ll
build a report (Lumera)
o “Value” is in the eye of the beholder
Data Mining Implications and Requirements

12. • Key metrics
• Real drivers of the modern utility
o Regulatory change
o Technology advances
o Competition
