This report presents a comprehensive framework for estimating the benefits and costs of Smart Grid projects and a step-by-step approach for making these estimates. The framework identifies the basic categories of benefits, the beneficiaries of these benefits, and the Smart Grid functionalities that lead to different benefits and proposes ways to estimate these benefits, including their monetization. The report covers cost effectiveness evaluation, uncertainty, and issues in estimating baseline conditions against which a project would be compared. The report also suggests metrics suitable for describing principal characteristics of a modern Smart Grid to which a project can contribute. |

We finally know the “Who” and the “How Much” for the Smart Grid stimulus grants. Now if we only knew the “What.” President Obama today announced awards totaling slightly over $3.4 billion for 100 Smart Grid projects. That means about 75% of the applications received by DOE were turned down. What do we get for $3.4 billion? About 18 million smart meters deployed around the country, 700 automated substations and some 200,000 advanced transformers. But we still don’t know which technologies and standards will be used – and that is what will determine whether taxpayers get their money’s worth. |
