What is Smart Grid?
A Smart Grid is an electricity network that can intelligently integrate the actions of all
users connected to it - generators, consumers and those that do both in order to
efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity supplies.

The European Technology Platform Smart Grids, Strategic Deployment Document, Sept 2008

36 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017

38 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Smart Grid Definitions
US Department of Energy
USA DOE NETL has identified the following features:
Self-healing from power disturbance events
Enabling active participation by consumers in demand response
Operating resiliently against physical and cyber attack
Providing power quality for 21st century needs
Accommodating all generation and storage options
Enabling new products, services and markets
Optimizing assets and operating efficiently

39 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Smart Grid Definitions
EPRI
The Smart Grid definition is based upon the description found in the Energy
Independence and Security Act of 2007. The term Smart Grid refers to a
modernization of the electricity delivery system so it monitors, protects and
automatically optimizes the operation of its interconnected elements from the central
and distributed generator through the high-voltage network and distribution system, to
industrial users and building automation systems, to energy storage installations and
to end-use consumers including their thermostats, electric vehicles, appliances and
other household devices. The Smart Grid will be characterized by a two-way flow of
electricity and information to create an automated, widely distributed energy delivery
network. It incorporates into the grid the benefits of distributed computing and
communications to deliver real-time information and to enable the near instantaneous
balance of supply and demand at the device level.

40 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Smart Grid Definitions
UK DECC
[A smart grid is] an electricity power system that can intelligently integrate the actions
of all users connected to it - generators, consumers and those that do both - in order to
efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity supplies.

41 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Smart Grid Definitions
Capgemini
Gather data: Data should be collected from many sources on thegrid.
Analysis/forecasting: The data that is gathered should be analyzed for operational and
business purposes.
Monitor/manage/act: In the operational world, data that comes from the grid hardware
will trigger a predefined process that will inform, log or take action.
Rebuilding the grid to support bi-directional power flow and transfer of power from
substation to substation: This is to enable the information that is collected and analysed
to be acted on.

42 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Smart Grid Definitions
IBM
Preparing for an environment in which customers are more active participants.
Capitalizing on new sources of real-time customer and operational information, and
deciding which role(s) to play in the industrys evolving value chain.
Better understanding and serving an increasingly heterogeneous customer base.

The Galvin Initiative


That is, a consumer-focused electric energy system that never fails. The absolute
quality of this system means that it meets, under all conditions, every consumers
expectations for service confidence, convenience and choice will be met.

43 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Smart Grid Definitions
General Electric
For utility executivesGE believes the potential for dramatic energy productivity gains could
improve service, control costs and strengthen reliability.
For operations managersGE anticipates a reduction in the frequency and impact of outages with
improved real-time knowledge of grid status.
For chief information technology officersGE sees the smart grid as based on open-standard
software and communication protocols, easing systems integration and support.
For maintenance and engineering professionals- GE believes more can be done with less, and
focuses resources on improving service, instead of simply maintaining it. Accurate, real-time and
actionable knowledge of grid status enables a shift from time-based to need based maintenance.
It also allows for a more timely response to outages, speeding power restoration.
For customer service (call center) functions Calls can be anticipated when an outage has
occurred, making systems more responsive to customers. Armed with answers, calls can be
resolved faster, allowing delivery of accurate information and a reduction of callbacks, queue times
and staffing levels.

Attributes of the Smart Grid
It enables demand response and demand side management through the integration of
smart meters, smart appliances and consumer loads, micro-generation, and electricity
storage (electric vehicles) and by providing customers with information related to
energy use and prices. It is anticipated that customers will be provided with

Source: J. Ekanayake, Smart Grid, Technologies and


information and incentives to modify their consumption pattern to overcome some of
the constraints in the power system.
It accommodates and facilitates all renewable energy sources, distributed generation,
residential micro-generation, and storage options, thus reducing the environmental
impact of the whole electricity sector and also provides means of aggregation. It will
provide simplified interconnection similar to plug-and-play.

Application
48 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017
Attributes of the Smart Grid
It optimises and efficiently operates assets by intelligent operation of the delivery system
(rerouting power, working autonomously) and pursuing efficient asset management.
This includes utilising asserts depending on what is needed and when it is needed.
It assures and improves reliability and the security of supply by being resilient to
disturbances, attacks and natural disasters, anticipating and responding to system
disturbances (predictive maintenance and self-healing), and strengthening the
security of supply through enhanced transfer capabilities.

49 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Attributes of the Smart Grid
It maintains the power quality of the electricity supply to cater for sensitive equipment
that increases with the digital economy.

It opens access to the markets through increased transmission paths, aggregated supply
and demand response initiatives and ancillary service provisions.

59 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Power Grid (Transmission & Distribution)
Substation Automation & Protection is the backbone for a secure transmission grid
operation. During recent years serial bus communication has been introduced (IEC
61850). Security is based on protection schemes.
Power Quality and Power Monitoring Systems act in a very similar way to Quality
Management Systems in companies. They are independent from Operation, Control
and Management Systems and supervise all activities and assets/electrical
equipment in a corresponding grid. Therefore such systems can be used as early
warning systems and are a must to analyze faults and to find out the corresponding
reasons.
The Energy Management System (EMS) is the control centre for the Transmission
Grid. Today customers require an open architecture to enable an easy IT integration
and a better support to avoid blackouts (e.g. phasor measurements, visualization of
the grid status, dynamic network stability analysis).

IEC Smart Grid Standardization Roadmap, June 2010; Edition 1.0

60 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Power Grid (Transmission & Distribution)
Decision Support Systems and System Integrity Protection Schemes protect the
power systems from instabilities and black-outs.
System Integrity Protection Schemes will enhance the target of protection devices,
to protect the primary equipment (e.g. transformers) from fatal fault currents in such a
way that uncontrollable chain reactions, initiated by protective actions, are avoided by
limited load shedding actions.
In contrast to traditional protection devices protect the primary equipment (e.g. transformers) from
fatal fault currents.

Power Electronics is among the actuators in the power grid. Systems like High-
Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System
(FACTS) enable actual control of the power flow and can help to increase transport
capacity without increasing short circuit power.

IEC Smart Grid Standardization Roadmap, June 2010; Edition 1.0

61 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Power Grid (Transmission & Distribution)
Asset Management Systems and Condition Monitoring devices are
promising tools to optimize the OpEx and CapEx spending of utilities.
Condition-based maintenance, for example, allows the reduction of maintenance costs
without sacrificing reliability. Furthermore they may also be used to utilize additional
transport capacity due to better cooling of primary equipment, e.g. transmission lines
on winter days.

IEC Smart Grid Standardization Roadmap, June 2010; Edition 1.0

62 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Power Grid (Transmission & Distribution)
Distribution Automation and Protection: whereas automated operation
and remote control is state of the art for the transmission grid, mass
deployment of Distribution Automation is only recently becoming more
frequent, leading to Smart Grids.
Advanced distribution automation concepts promote automatic self configuration
features, reducing outage times to a minimum (self-healing grids). Another step
further is the use of distributed energy resources to create self-contained cells known
as MicroGrids.
MicroGrids can help to assure energy supply in distribution grids even when the
transmission grid has a blackout.

IEC Smart Grid Standardization Roadmap, June 2010; Edition 1.0

63 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Power Grid (Transmission & Distribution)
Distribution Management System (DMS): is the counterpart to the EMS
and is therefore the control centre for the distribution grid.
In countries where outages are a frequent problem, the Outage Management System
(OMS) is an important component of the DMS.
Other important components are fault location and interfaces to Geographic
Information Systems (GISs).

IEC Smart Grid Standardization Roadmap, June 2010; Edition 1.0

64 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Power Grid (Transmission & Distribution)
Smart Meter is a generic term for electronic meters with a communication
link.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) allows remote meter configuration, dynamic
tariffs, power quality monitoring and load control.
Advanced systems integrate the metering infrastructure with distribution automation.

IEC Smart Grid Standardization Roadmap, June 2010; Edition 1.0

65 GSOE 9141 - Semester 1, 2017


Communication
Communication as a whole is the backbone of the Smart Grid.
By exchanging information on a syntactic and semantic levels can the benefits of
Smart Grid be achieved.
Security of a critical infrastructure has always been an issue.
However Smart Grid solutions will see an enormous increase in the exchange of data
both for observability but also for controllability.
Therefore security of this data exchange and the physical components behind it will
have an increased impact.
