中國儲(chǔ)能網(wǎng)訊：在智能電網(wǎng)聯(lián)盟”(GridWise Alliance)今年11月份發(fā)布的美國2017年電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化指數(shù)中排名中，加利福尼亞州排名最高，雄居榜首。伊利諾伊州排名第二，德克薩斯州排名第三。馬里蘭州和俄勒岡州分別排名第四和第五。亞利桑那州、華盛頓特區(qū)、紐約州、內(nèi)華達(dá)州以及特拉華州分別排名前六到前十位。
電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化是指智能電網(wǎng)聯(lián)盟根據(jù)電網(wǎng)的現(xiàn)代化程度，對(duì)美國所有50個(gè)州和哥倫比亞特區(qū)進(jìn)行的評(píng)估和排名。
智能電網(wǎng)聯(lián)盟首席執(zhí)行官Steve Hauser表示：“我們很高興為我們的電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化指數(shù)提供這個(gè)更新的排名，我們致力于與所有電力行業(yè)利益相關(guān)者合作，為國家和地方層面的重大決策提供信息，其中包括清潔能源，能源存儲(chǔ)，電動(dòng)汽車和其他電網(wǎng)相關(guān)技術(shù)成本下降，電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化活動(dòng)拓展等方面事項(xiàng)。”
GMI-4基準(zhǔn)規(guī)定了廣泛的電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化政策、投資和活動(dòng)，并提供了有關(guān)的國家政策和法規(guī)，客戶參與和公用事業(yè)投資之間在電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化方面的一些關(guān)系和聯(lián)系的見解。這個(gè)最新的指數(shù)排名再次表明，美國各州都正在努力解決與電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化相關(guān)的問題。
隨著現(xiàn)代化步伐的加快，公用事業(yè)部門將繼續(xù)優(yōu)先考慮可靠性和成本效益，同時(shí)尋找融合新技術(shù)的有效途徑。這些系統(tǒng)越來越多地部署在有意義的地方，從而提高了現(xiàn)有資產(chǎn)的利用率，提高了系統(tǒng)效率和恢復(fù)能力，降低了環(huán)境影響。
Centerpoint能源公司首席執(zhí)行官兼智能電網(wǎng)聯(lián)盟主席Scott Prochazka說：“我們從最近所發(fā)生的颶風(fēng)和野火中看到對(duì)電網(wǎng)運(yùn)行的嚴(yán)重影響，這凸顯了重視電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化的必要性。電網(wǎng)對(duì)于經(jīng)濟(jì)的成功至關(guān)重要，雖然美國各州都面臨著自己獨(dú)特的挑戰(zhàn)，但都必須應(yīng)對(duì)不斷變化的能源格局和客戶需求?！?
該指數(shù)提供了七個(gè)關(guān)鍵要點(diǎn)，為快速現(xiàn)代化的電網(wǎng)提供經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)和最佳實(shí)踐。內(nèi)容包括：
?電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)步伐加快，特別是在政策方面。
?最近的颶風(fēng)和其他極端天氣事件，以及人為造成的網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全和人身安全威脅，使人們關(guān)注電網(wǎng)的彈性。
?美國一些州繼續(xù)向全面電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化邁進(jìn)。
?其他各州正在開始自己的電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化工作。
?一些早期的推動(dòng)者可能會(huì)看到他們的發(fā)展勢(shì)頭緩慢，特別是在電網(wǎng)運(yùn)營方面。
?公用事業(yè)部門正在優(yōu)先努力滿足客戶的更多選擇和管理自身能源使用的需求。
?美國各州、城市和企業(yè)的清潔能源目標(biāo)正在推動(dòng)公用事業(yè)的發(fā)展，以適應(yīng)分布式能源（DER）的快速增長。
2017 Grid Modernisation Index rankings
3 December 2017
California is the highest-ranked state in the 2017 Grid Modernisation Index, published by the Gridwise Alliance in November.
California has a nine-point lead over second-place Illinois, while Texas ranks third. Maryland and Oregon rank fourth and fifth respectively. Rounding out the top ten are Arizona, Washington, DC, New York, Nevada, and Delaware.
The Index assesses and ranks all 50 states and the District of Columbia based upon the degree to which they are moving toward a modernized electric grid.
"We are pleased to provide this update to our Grid Modernization Index," said Steve Hauser, CEO of the GridWise Alliance. "The Alliance is committed to working with all electric industry stakeholders to inform key decisions being made at the state and local level as clean energy, energy storage, EV, and other grid-related technology costs decline, and grid modernization activities expand."
GMI-4 benchmarks states on a wide range of grid modernization policies, investments, and activities, and provides insights into some of the relationships and connections between state policies and regulations, customer engagement, and utility investments in modernizing the grid. This latest Index edition shows once again that more states than ever are working to address grid modernization related issues.
As the pace of activities has increased, utilities have continued to prioritize reliability and cost-effectiveness while finding effective ways to integrate new technologies. These systems are increasingly being deployed where and when it makes sense, resulting in higher utilization of existing assets, greater system efficiency and resilience, and lower environmental impact.
"The recent serious impacts we've seen from major storms and wildfires underscores the need to take grid modernization very seriously," said Scott Prochazka, CEO of Centerpoint Energy and Chairman of the GridWise Alliance. "The electricity grid is essential to the success of our economy and while each state faces its own unique challenges, it is imperative for states to address both changing energy landscapes and customer needs."
The Index offers Seven Key Takeaways, providing lessons and best practices for a rapidly modernizing grid. Takeaways include:
?the pace of grid modernization efforts has accelerated, particularly on the policy front;
?recent hurricanes and other extreme weather events, as well as human-caused cybersecurity and physical security threats, are focusing attention on grid resilience;
?leading states continue to make progress toward comprehensive grid modernization;
?many states are just beginning their own grid modernization efforts;
?some of the early movers may be seeing their momentum slow, particularly in the Grid Operations category;
?utilities are prioritizing efforts to address customer demands for greater choice and the capability to manage their own energy usage; and
?clean energy targets by states, cities, and corporations are driving utility efforts to accommodate rapid growth in DERs.
