SMART GRID

SMART GRID An Intelligent Electrical Grid that collect details regarding the

behavior of utilizers and providers, and perform immediate actions in a self-activate mode whenever necessary to enhance reliability, efficiency, economics and sustainability of Generation, Transmission and Distribution on Electricity.

Made possible by Information and Communication Technology.

Smart Grid ComponentsIntelligent Appliances

Ability to choose when to utilize power based on priority.

Smart Power Meters

Provides Two way communication between the utilizers and providers.

Assist for Gathering Data, Find out Power cut, Automatic billing and Send repair crew to the particular location earlier.

Smart Substations

Monitor and Control operational data’s such as circuit breaker status, power factor enhancement etc.

Smart Distribution

Self healing

Self Balancing

Self Optimizing

Effective tool to monitor and predict cable failures based on real-time data

Superconducting cable for long transmission lineSmart Generation

Optimize Power Generation.

Enhance voltage stability, power factor correction and frequency Synchronization automatically based on feedback from various points on grids.

Universal Access

Less expensive and less carbon emission power generation (e.g. hydro plant, wind turbine, solar power etc..)

No chemical reaction and high capacity energy storage (SMES & Flywheel)

Comparison of Current Grid and Smart Grid

Current Grid Smart Grid

Communications None or One Way; typically not real time

Two Way; Real Time

Customer Interaction Limited Extensive

Metering Electro-mechanical Digital(enabling real time pricing and net metering)

Operation Manual Equipment checking and maintenance

Remote monitoring, predictive, time based

maintenance

Current Grid Smart Grid

Generation Centralized Centralized and Distributed

Power Flow Control Limited Comprehensive, automated

ReliabilityProne to failures & cascading outages essentially reactive

Automated, Pro-active Protection, prevents

outages before they start

Restoring Following Disturbance

Manual Self Healing

System Topology Radial; generally one way power flow

Network; multiple power flow pathways

World’s first smart grid solution implemented

Faroe Islands – DenmarkDanish Energy Company DONG ENERGY and Faroese

Partner SEV demonstrate the “World’s First” Smart Grid system on the windy Faroe Island.

The Faroe Islands are the first place in the world where a virtual power plant is used to recreate balance in an island power system by automatically decoupling large industrial units from the main power system is less than a second, thereby avoiding systemic block-outs.

Technically speaking, the virtual power plants delivers so-called fast frequency demand response.

India’s First Smart Grid Project To Be Implemented On Pilot Basis

Puducherry – A Smart Grid project recommended by the Power Ministry’s India Smart Grid Task Force will come up on a pilot basis in the union territory, reportedly the first in the country
