AMI communication networks and data systems | Description | Cost |
---|---|---|
Backhaul communications description | Initial deployment will use a Vendor Hosted AMI Head-End that will use a Cellular Backhaul (Verizon (EVDO)) that will communicate from the AMI Collector to AMI Hosted Head-End system. This AMI Head-End System may be transitioned to a LIPA facility. In that case, the Non-SGDP Fiber Communications Project will enable communications from the collectors to the Substation and then back to the AMI Head-End. | $0 |
Meter communications network | Unlicensed 900 Mhz Mesh Network from Meter to Collectors and/or Routers. The same network ID will be used as in the existing Smart AMI pilot in Hauppauge. | |
Head end server | New Version of Command Center 6.1 (Landis+Gyr) Windows SQL Server Hosted System to include existing AMI meters in Hauppauge (pilot). Primary functions to perform schedule reads on billing cycle, provide outage information & tampering and various reporting tools. This Head-end system will accommodate both the existing AMI in Hauppauge and the SGDP 110 Corridor project. | $0 |
Meter data analysis system | LodeStar software tool to perform analysis on the metering data. Customer Marketing will review customer behavioral changes for future billing rates and Planning will use to perform data analysis for VAR optimization and future load analysis. | |

Portion of distribution system with SCADA due to SGIG/SGD program | 100.00% | There is no increase in the number of circuits controlled but rather an increase in operational data to be brought back. |
Portion of distribution system with DA due to SGIG/SGD program | 68.75% | Normally Closed switches can automatically sectionalize and Normally Open switches can be controlled via supervisory. These devices will be used to reduce customer outages over a single circuit by either auto sectionalizing or backfeeding with another circuit. Project percent determined by dividing number of feeders to which switches were added as part of project by total number of feeders in project footprint. |

Distribution management systems integration | Integrated | Description |
---|---|---|
AMI | No | A Pilot OMS/DMS Simulator was installed as part of the project. Stony Brook University found this simulator unacceptable for purposes of developing various models using historic AMI and other data, as well as development of other interfaces. Stony Brook will be using CYME Analysis Tool to perform modeling and load forecasting in place of the Simulator. These models are to be used with LIPA’s new OMS CGI (non-SGDP funded) that is scheduled to go online in 2014. |
Outage management system | No | LIPA had planned a Pilot OMS/DMS as part of the project. LIPA has determined to move to another vendor in deploying a new OMS (CGI) which is not part of the SGDP. The original pilot initially included an OMS/DMS simulator at Stony Brook University for purposes of developing various models which has proven to be unacceptable to Stony Brook University. The Stony Brook will use a new CYME Analysis Tool for load forecasting and other modeling work using historic AMI and distribution automation data. It will not be integrated with the LIPA system in any way. The new OMS which is non-SGDP funded is to go into production in 2014. Once, completed an interface will be built from the new OMS to the AMI System. This link will allow AMI data to be available to the OMS for capturing outage information initially it will be built in the test environment and then in production. |
Distributed energy resource interface | No | The project involves only minimal distributed generation for purposes of demonstration at SUNY Farmingdale. The interfaces are to be determined. LIPA will not control the generation. The DOE Project Manager approved the addition of solar PV installations at the three substations involved in the project. These would principally provide power to the substations. LIPA is reviewing whether to proceed with these installations. |

* In some circumstances, costs are incurred before devices are installed resulting in a reported cost where the quantity is zero.
* All dollar figures are the total cost, which is the sum of the federal investment and cost share of the recipient (the recipient cost share must be at least 50% of the total overall project cost).
** In some cases the number of entities reporting is greater than the total number of projects funded by the Recovery Act because some projects have multiple sub-projects that report data. View list of sub-projects.
