What is Smart Grid?


 Many Definitions -
• A smart grid includes an intelligent monitoring system
that keeps track of all electricity flowing in the system.
It also incorporates the use of superconductive
transmission lines for less power loss, as well as the
capability of integrating alternative sources of
electricity such as solar and wind.

• “an automated, widely distributed energy delivery


network characterized by a two-way flow of electricity
and information, capable of monitoring and responding
to changes in everything from power plants to
customer preferences to individual appliances.”

Why Smart Grid? Drivers for SG


1.Rising costs of capital, raw materials, and
labour

2.Aging infrastructure and workforce

3.Continuing national security concerns

4.Need for and viability of energy efficiency


caused by the expansion of the global
economy

5.Increasing awareness of environmental


issues, including global warming

Renewable Energy in Smart Grid

• Energy, Environment & Sustainable Development –


interlinked.
• Coal (fossil) fuel – limited period
• Reduce green house emissions & mitigate climate change.
• Peak load management
• Distributed Generation Systems connected to LT Distribution
system (11kV)
• Renewable energy sources-
• Wind
• Solar – Rooftop Photovoltaic
• Other Distributed Generation systems based on Mini Hydro,
& Bio mass

Integration Issues

• Large number of DG units interconnection to


conventional grid affects the stability.
• Customer can also inject energy into grid-
bidirectional flow of energy- energy meter shall
support bidirectional flow of energy recording.
• Energy recording, tariff and billing – to be
reworked.
• Real time monitoring and Control.
• Smart Grid addresses above- convergence of
Information and communication Technology

Standardization Issues

• Various organizations (NIST, IEEE, IEC,


BIS etc) are in the process of
standardizing SG requirements – in
various phases
• Mostly involved with identifying the set of
existing standards and revision wherever
necessary
