HOW THE TRADITIONAL
UTILITY MODEL IS
BEING CHALLENGED
BY DISRUPTIVE
TECHNOLOGIES
Description
Today’s energy company is not the same company it was 30, 40 or
50 years ago. The Exelon family of companies has had a long
history of proven reliability and performance that had to evolve
along the way to meet customer demands.
With the increased popularity of distributed generation (solar, wind,
biodiesel, etc.) along with introduction of micro grids, these
resources are helping to change the foundation of the traditional
utility to meet the demands of our modern economy.

Our Strategy, Defined
Exelon’s strategy is to:
Leverage our integrated business model to create value and
diversify our business.
Each of our businesses features a mix of attributes that, when
combined, offer our shareholders, customers and employees a
unique value proposition:
• Our utilities – BGE, ComEd, PECO and Pepco Holdings
provide a foundation for stable earnings and dividend
support, which translates to a stable currency in our stock.
• Our competitive businesses in Exelon Generation and
Constellation provide exposure to power and gas price
upside and a platform to diversify into promising markets
and technologies, while providing residual dividend support.

NEW CHALLENGES
New Technologies
Transmission & Distribution:
Introduction of Wind & Solar Generation
• Introduction of Solar and Wind generation has changed what is called
the “fuel mix” available to produce electricity.
• Solar and Wind capacity cleared for 2017/2018 in PJM market has
almost doubled compare to 2012/2013 year period
Transmission & Distribution:
Introduction of Wind & Solar Generation (Cont.)
• Renewables may introduce some challenges especially in the areas where these
resources are concentrated
• Economic challenge to the traditional power plants (fossil, gas, nuclear)
• Frequency due to less “steel in the ground”
• Operational challenges of electric distribution system
• High Voltage, particularly during midday light load periods where maximum solar
output is expected
• Distribution systems availability during periods of solar/wind reduced or non-
existent generation
• Transmission Planning challenge
• Resource Variability (associated with some unpredictability/uncertainty) especially
during peak hours
• Lack of large-scale economical storage capability.
• Several studies and reports have indicated that technology improvement from better
weather forecast to advanced electronic controls are making it easier for both grid
operators and planners to deal with the above challenges

What’s Important to the Customer?
J.D. Power measures customer satisfaction with electric and gas
utility companies by examining six factors:
• Power Quality and Reliability
• Price
• Billing and payment
• Corporate citizenship
• Communications
• Customer service
Key Benefit: Power Quality and Reliability
• Smart grid technologies are helping utilities to speed outage restoration following
major storm events
• Reduce the total number of affected customers,
• Improve overall service reliability to reduce customer losses from power
disruptions
• Smart meters provide meter “pinging” capability, which allows the utility to
determine when a meter is in service.
• Utility can avoid expending resources to verify customers have service
• Saves resources, reduces cost and reduces outage restoration time
• Customers can see outages on an outage map on their phone or computer
• Utilities can text outages to customers and notify them of the outage with an
estimated time of restoration
• A Smart Grid system supports the installation of microgrids, which are localized
grids that can disconnect from the main grid to operate independently during outage
events.
Summary of Benefits for Customers
• Fewer and shorter outages with better communication
• Consumer savings, choice and control with advanced meters,
consumers could save on
energy costs by:
• Better managing energy use
• Using new energy management technologies, such as smart appliances
or home area network devices
• Participating in available pricing structures and programs for smart
meters
• New technologies available like Smart Street Lighting and Distributed
Generation

  • 17. What’s Important to the Customer? J.D. Power measures customer satisfaction with electric and gas utility companies by examining six factors: • Power Quality and Reliability • Price • Billing and payment • Corporate citizenship • Communications • Customer service
  • 18. Key Benefit: Power Quality and Reliability • Smart grid technologies are helping utilities to speed outage restoration following major storm events • Reduce the total number of affected customers, • Improve overall service reliability to reduce customer losses from power disruptions • Smart meters provide meter “pinging” capability, which allows the utility to determine when a meter is in service. • Utility can avoid expending resources to verify customers have service • Saves resources, reduces cost and reduces outage restoration time • Customers can see outages on an outage map on their phone or computer • Utilities can text outages to customers and notify them of the outage with an estimated time of restoration • A Smart Grid system supports the installation of microgrids, which are localized grids that can disconnect from the main grid to operate independently during outage events.
  • 19. Summary of Benefits for Customers • Fewer and shorter outages with better communication • Consumer savings, choice and control with advanced meters, consumers could save on energy costs by: • Better managing energy use • Using new energy management technologies, such as smart appliances or home area network devices • Participating in available pricing structures and programs for smart meters • New technologies available like Smart Street Lighting and Distributed Generation

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. G. Sey Supplemental Note(s) “Renewables may introduce some challenges especially in the areas where these resources are concentrated” NOTES: Discuss impacts of concentrations, which can include excessive fault currents causing issues with line protection, potential flicker impacts for intermittent generation sources, reverse power flows possibly in excess of thermal equipment limits, etc. “Operational challenges of electric distribution system High Voltage, particularly during midday light load periods where maximum solar output is expected – NOTES: Essentially highest voltage expected during midday when load @ most residences is the highest, then there is an inherent additional voltage rise due to the max. expected output of solar (for example) since solar irradiation is highest around noon, which could cause voltage in excess of 126V (max. allowed) in some cases if not managed correctly Distribution systems availability during periods of solar/wind reduced or non-existent generation” – NOTES: This is in relation to the customer’s expectation that in the event their solar or wind system is out-of-service for any reason, or the sun is down/wind is not blowing, they still rely on the utility to provide power. This can be adversely impacted if we do not know the true load of the customer, which is the case when solar or wind is installed based on present metering configuration.
  2. G. Sey Supplemental Note(s) Partial echo of notes from Slide 10 could be done Communication is key in accomplishing the majority of the above – inclusive of this challenge is selecting the correct protocol, necessary infrastructure/communication medium, etc. System is changing from moderately dynamic to very dynamic due to the constant monitoring and reaction required amongst the distributed generation resources and the existing utility infrastructure Radial vs. Network – NOTES: Traditional system configurations are vast majority radial, not network, and not designed to operate in network without significant modifications (especially with numerous disparate generation sources)
  3. G. Sey Supplemental Note(s) Reference AMI network implementations across EU OpCos, as well as other EU-level best practice collaborations being conducted as a result of our recent mergers in support of EU’s acceptance of the “grid of the future”
