| 25 | Sec. 16-108.8. Illinois Smart Grid test bed. | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (a) Within 180 days after the effective date of this | ||||||
| 2 | amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, each participating | ||||||
| 3 | utility, as defined by Section 16-108.5 of this Act, shall | ||||||
| 4 | create or otherwise designate a Smart Grid test bed, which may | ||||||
| 5 | be located at one or more places within the utility's system, | ||||||
| 6 | for the purposes of allowing for the testing of Smart Grid | ||||||
| 7 | technologies. The objectives of this test bed shall be to: | ||||||
| 8 | (1) provide an open, unbiased opportunity for testing | ||||||
| 9 | programs, technologies, business models, and other Smart | ||||||
| 10 | Grid-related activities; | ||||||
| 11 | (2) provide on-grid locations for the testing of | ||||||
| 12 | potentially innovative Smart Grid-related technologies and | ||||||
| 13 | services, including but not limited to those funded by the | ||||||
| 14 | trust or foundation established pursuant to Section | ||||||
| 15 | 16-108.7 of this Act; | ||||||
| 16 | (3) facilitate testing of business models or services | ||||||
| 17 | that help integrate Smart Grid-related technologies into | ||||||
| 18 | the electric grid, especially those business models that | ||||||
| 19 | may help promote new products and services for retail | ||||||
| 20 | customers; | ||||||
| 21 | (4) offer opportunities to test and showcase Smart Grid | ||||||
| 22 | technologies and services, especially those likely to | ||||||
| 23 | support the economic development goals of the State of | ||||||
| 24 | Illinois. | ||||||
| 25 | (b) The test bed shall reside in one or more locations on | ||||||
| 26 | the participating utility's network. Such locations shall be | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | chosen by the utility to maximize the opportunity for real-time | ||||||
| 2 | and real-world testing of Smart Grid technologies and services | ||||||
| 3 | taking into account the safety and security of the | ||||||
| 4 | participating utility's grid and grid operations. | ||||||
| 5 | (c) The participating utility, with input from the Smart | ||||||
| 6 | Grid Advisory Council established pursuant to Section 16-108.6 | ||||||
| 7 | of this Act, shall, as part of its filing under subsection (b) | ||||||
| 8 | of Section 16-108.5, include a plan for the creation, | ||||||
| 9 | operation, and administration of the test bed. This plan shall | ||||||
| 10 | address the following: | ||||||
| 11 | (1) how the utility proposes to comply with each of the | ||||||
| 12 | objectives set forth in subsection (a) of this Section; | ||||||
| 13 | (2) the proposed location or locations of the test bed; | ||||||
| 14 | (3) the process by which the utility will receive, | ||||||
| 15 | review, and qualify proposals to use the test bed; | ||||||
| 16 | (4) the criteria by which the utility proposes to | ||||||
| 17 | qualify proposals to use the test bed, including, but not | ||||||
| 18 | limited to, safety, reliability, security, customer data | ||||||
| 19 | security, privacy, and economic development | ||||||
| 20 | considerations; | ||||||
| 21 | (5) the engineering and operations support that the | ||||||
| 22 | utility will provide to test bed users, including provision | ||||||
| 23 | of customer data; and | ||||||
| 24 | (6) the estimated costs to establish, administer and | ||||||
| 25 | promote the availability of the test bed. | ||||||
| 26 | (d) The test bed should be open to all qualified entities | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | wishing to test programs, technologies, business models, and | ||||||
| 2 | other Smart Grid-related activities, provided that the utility | ||||||
| 3 | retains control of its grid and operations and may reject any | ||||||
| 4 | programs, technologies, business models, and other Smart | ||||||
| 5 | Grid-related activities that threaten the reliability, safety, | ||||||
| 6 | security, or operations of its network, or that would threaten | ||||||
| 7 | the security of customer-identifiable data in the judgment of | ||||||
| 8 | the utility. The number of technologies and entities | ||||||
| 9 | participating in the test bed at any time may be limited by the | ||||||
| 10 | utility based on its determination of its ability to maintain a | ||||||
| 11 | secure, safe, and reliable grid. | ||||||
| 12 | (e) At a minimum, the test bed shall have the ability to | ||||||
| 13 | receive live signals from PJM Interconnection LLC or other | ||||||
| 14 | applicable regional transmission organization, the ability to | ||||||
| 15 | test new applications in a utility scale environment (to | ||||||
| 16 | include ramp rate regulations for distributed wind and solar | ||||||
| 17 | resources), critical peak price response, and market-based | ||||||
| 18 | power dispatch. | ||||||
| 19 | (f) At the end of the fourth year of operation the test bed | ||||||
| 20 | shall be subject to an independent evaluation to determine if | ||||||
| 21 | the test bed is meeting the objectives of this Section or is | ||||||
| 22 | likely to meet the objectives in the future. The evaluation | ||||||
| 23 | shall include the performance of the utility as test bed | ||||||
| 24 | operator. Subject to the findings, the utility and the trust or | ||||||
| 25 | foundation established pursuant to Section 16-108.7 of this Act | ||||||
| 26 | may choose to continue operating the test bed. | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (g) The utility shall be entitled to recover all prudently | ||||||
| 2 | incurred and reasonable costs associated with evaluation of | ||||||
| 3 | proposals, engineering, construction, operation, and | ||||||
| 4 | administration of the test bed through the performance-based | ||||||
| 5 | formula rate tariff established pursuant to Section 16-108.5 of | ||||||
| 6 | this Act. | ||||||
| 7 | (h) The utility is authorized to charge fees to users of | ||||||
| 8 | the test bed that shall recover the costs associated with the | ||||||
| 9 | incremental direct costs to the utility associated with | ||||||
| 10 | administration of the test bed, provided, however, that any | ||||||
| 11 | such fees collected by the utility shall be used to offset the | ||||||
| 12 | costs to be recovered pursuant to subsection (g) of this | ||||||
| 13 | Section. | ||||||
| 14 | (i) On a quarterly basis, the utility shall provide the | ||||||
| 15 | trust or foundation established pursuant to Section 16-108.7 of | ||||||
| 16 | this Act with a report summarizing test bed activities, | ||||||
| 17 | customers, discoveries, and other information as shall be | ||||||
| 18 | mutually deemed relevant. | ||||||
| 19 | (j) To the extent practicable, the utility and trust or | ||||||
| 20 | foundation established pursuant to Section 16-108.7 of this Act | ||||||
