DefinitionsA smart grid is an umbrella term that covers
modernization of both the transmission and distribution grids. http://en.wikipedia.org
Smart Grid is a new industry being built around the modernization of the electrical grid, green power generation and more efficient usage of electrical power. Terry Chandler, Power Quality Inc Aug 2009

Andy Tang, an executive at the PG&E utility in California, “ Smart Grid is not a thing or a specific project. It is about how the utilities leverage technology to enhance their entire portfolio of business processes.”

What is Power Quality?The characteristics of the supply voltage and the electrical system that affect the performance of the load
The characteristics of the load that affect the electrical system or other loads..Terry Chandler PQI 1995
June of 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy list for Smart Grid
1 Optimize asset utilization and operating efficiency.
2 Accommodate all generation and storage
options.
3 Provide power quality for the range of needs in a digital economy.

The Smart grid utilizes technology in three important ways:• 1) Automating the grid to harden it and make
it less costly to operate.
• 2) Integrating the electric grid to create an end-to-end network for quickly acquiring and transporting data from millions of end points
• 3) Expanding the value of the grid beyond typical utility needs to support new services and new markets offered by energy retailers.

How will Smart Grid affect Power QualityFrequent switching of the grid will
Significant increase of switching transients (until solid state switching devices are used) Sensitive loads will experience an increase in
transientsVoltage imbalance/unbalance will change with
switching alternate sources

Harmonics affected by Smart GridVoltage Harmonic levels
Voltage distortion is a function of Harmonic load current and the source impedance.
As the SmartGrid switches between sources it will change the source impedance. This will cause the Voltage distortion level to change when the Grid Switches.

SmartGrid and voltage sagsInterconnection of
distribution substations
Increases voltage sags incidents at that voltage level.

PQ changes with SmartGridPQ parameter Transition to netgrid Smart Grid fully implementedV Harmonics Increase decrease or return existing levelVoltage transients Increase decrease or return existing levelVoltage imbalance Increase decrease or return existing levelVoltage Phase Shifts Increase decrease or return existing levelVoltage Sags Increase depends on implementation

Conclusions Short term affectsAs the grid changes from Hierarchal to
network configuration the voltage sag incident will increase.
The Voltage harmonics will change frequently as the source impedance changes when the SmartGrid switching.
Voltage waveform transients will occur during the switching and can be sever if the new source is at a different phase angle than the existing source.
9/6/2009 26www.powerquality.org all rights reserve
Conclusions Long TermGridSwitching will become more
sophisticated to switch only at zero crossing and when in phase.
Network design will change to reduce voltage sag depth and duration.
Short and medium term Power Quality will deteriorate
Long Term Power Quality should improve to existing levels or better
