PROJECT MANAGEMENT Xcel Energy's Buffalo Ridge Incremental Generation Outlet Project (BRIGO) Mike Dunham, Xcel Energy This presentation will be about Xcel Energy's ~4 million Buffalo Ridge Incremental Generation OutletlBRIG0) projectfrom the project management perspective. Content will cover project management activities, stakeholders, challenges, and lessons learned. Eau Claire 16kV Conversion Project Coordination Joe Gravelleand Brad Nelson, Xcel Energy The presentation will provide an overview of Xcel Energy's project management as implemented on the Eau Claire -Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin 69kVto 161kV conversion, a multiyear (2009-2011) S33-million series of projects. An emphasis will be placed on the coordination efforts used to plan and schedule the project's transmission system outages years in advance, with respectto construction staging and system operational requirements. University of Minnesota SCADA Implementation -Can It Be Done in aNon-traditional Utility Setting? Mike Grimstad, University of Minnesota The what, why, and how of trying to integrate a new SCADA system into the University of Minnesota primary distribution system and whatthe future may bring. 500kV TSR Facility Study Bill Barnhart, HDR and Doni Murphy, Natural Resource Group We will present the development of a multi-utility, regional system, 500kV transmission line antl network interconnection facility study. The project consisted of preparing a Midwest ISO (MISOj facility study for a proposed 1100 MW, 500kV transmission line from Canada to southwest Minnesota. DISTRIBUTION AUTOMATION/ COMMUNICATIONS NERC CIP Standards -Past, Present, and future Ray Sefchik, Midwest Reliability Organization A chronological review of the evolution of the NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection Reliability Standards. Smart Grid Communication Network Requirements Byron Flynn, General Electric This paper will present several Smart Grid use cases and review the minimum and typical communications bandwidth and latency performance requirements at various points along the system driven by the data and applications in case. The NIST Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) Process and Results Dan Nordell, Xcel Energy EMC The Energy Policy Act of 2007 charged the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST- with the task of coordinating standards development for the Smart Grid. This presentation provides a roadmap to the resulting process and anticipated results. New Wireless Alternatives for Distribution Automation (DA) and Fixed Wireless AMI Rick Schmidt, Power Systems Engineering This presentation will provide an overview of the existing and emerging communications media alternatives for Distribution Automation (DA) and Fixed Wireless AMI backhaul. Technologies discussed will include: 9001SM Spread Spectrum, 9001SM WiMax, 3.65 GHz WiMax, licensed 700 MHz and 220 MHz, and new software-defined radio licensed WiMax technology. Mr. Schmidt will provide an overview of the common communications requirements for both DA and AMI, insights into the vendor solutions, and advice on howto properly size the bandwidth for an extensive multi-application utility automation infrastructure.
