AMI Network (AMI Head-End to/from Smart)Distribution, Operations, End consumersAdvanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a two-way communication system for all devices in the distribution space, offering flexible, general-purpose communication. It provides advanced energy monitoring, data collection for tariff programs, and load management controls. AMI enables consumers to better manage energy usage and allows for more efficient grid operation. These capabilities improve both cost efficiency and energy delivery.This Use Case manages data transfers from the AMI Head-End to the Smart Meter. It serves as an intermediary, reusable by many other Use Cases. It supports various communication paths, including meter to meter, relay to meter, and relay to relay to meter. The Use Case simplifies the process by hiding the complexity of direct and relay-based message delivery to Smart Meters.EPRI Smart Grid Use Case Repository, EU

Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) Charging at PremiseTransmission system, Distribution, Operations, End consumersPlug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) Charging at Premise" refers to charging an electric vehicle at home or a designated charging station using installed equipment. It involves connecting the vehicle to a power source to recharge its battery. This setup ensures convenient recharging and may include considerations for electrical capacity and charging speed.This use case details the steps to charge the electric vehicle from the point of plugging the vehicle in at the Customer Premise to unplugging the electric vehicle from the charging station. This use case focuses mainly on the processes involved with the premise mounted Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) interaction with the PEV.EPRI Smart Grid Use Case Repository, EU

Aggregate energy dataMarket for flexibilities, Operational planning and forecasting, Services related to end customersData Exchange Platforms can support data aggregation by transporting aggregated data from a data source to an application. Aggregation itself takes place at data source. Aggregated data may be useful for different applications (services) – e.g. related to bench marking, national statistics, imbalance reporting. Also, aggregated data would not require consent (permission rights) for personal data or commercially sensitive data. This use case details how the aggregation of different types of data can be made available through data exchange platform. One of the objectives is to make private data available to other parties without authorization (permission) requirement. Smart Grid Use cases: BRIDGE, EU

Managing flexibility delivered by DER to provide balancing services to TSOMarket operations, Market for flexibilities, Transmission system, Distribution system, DERManaging flexibility delivered by DER to provide balancing services to TSO" refers to coordinating the variable energy outputs from Distributed Energy Resources (DER), such as solar panels and wind turbines, to help Transmission System Operators (TSO) maintain grid stability. This involves adjusting the supply and demand of electricity to balance the grid, ensuring a reliable and efficient energy supply. The goal is to utilize DER flexibility to support the TSO in managing real-time grid fluctuations and maintaining overall system balance.This use cases looks at how to bring the flexibility provided by resources connected to the distribution network (Low and Medium voltage, LV/MV) in the form of active power and/or active energy to the polish TSO balancing market. One of the objectives is to ensuring that the energy system is balanced and frequency is kept within the permitted range.One net

Customer (residential and commercial) implements Demand Response system and responds to Demand Response signals from the utility (using AMl)
Area of Application
Consumer premise, Distribution system
Description
Demand response (DR) for consumers refers to a set of strategies and programs designed to encourage or enable consumers to adjust their electricity usage during specific periods in response to supply conditions, such as high electricity prices or threats to grid reliability. The primary goals of demand response are to improve the efficiency of the electricity grid, reduce peak demand, and enhance the integration of renewable energy sources. By providing the Customer better visibility to their energy usage and cost at their site, they can make more educated energy related decisions regarding participation in load reduction programs, be more inclined to install energy efficient systems and potentially change their energy consumption habits. The Customer will be able to view more detailed energy use information based on daily and potentially near real time meter read.
Scope
This use case will describe the process to allow a Utility's Customer to implement a Demand Response system and respond to the Demand Response signals from the utility. Scenario 1 - Utility, responding to a variety of drivers (eg. CO2, feeder loading, etc.), sends dynamic pricing signals to influence a customer's response. (Peak Shaving). Scenario 2 - Utility, responding to a variety of drivers (eg. CO2, feeder loading, etc.), sends Demand Response signals to request a customer's response or disconnect service. (Reliability Driven).
