Abstract: | The project objective is the integration of distributed resources into all levels of grid operations including market trading, generation dispatch, distribution operations, and consumer interaction that creates an end-to-end SmartGrid—from SmartGeneration to SmartConsumption built around a major SmartSubstation. Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L) will work with select partners to demonstrate and test renewable energy and distributed generation (DG) sources in a way that will provide benefits to an underserved population, in a designated “Green Impact Zone,” and surrounding urban area, while enabling key stakeholders to better understand and demonstrate the technologies, business models, and prices required to further commercialize the concepts.
