Group

Using Digital technology to deliver electricity from suppliers to consumers.

Save

energy

Reduce costs

Increase reliabilit

y and transparency

Smart Grid

Allow both consumers and energy companies to make more intelligent decisions regarding energy consumption and production.

Smart Grid (Contd.)

Smart Grid

Digital system

informative

Smart grid compared to current electricity infrastructure

Smart Technology

Sensor and monitoring devices to track energy usage and distribution trends.

Systems to provide energy suppliers and consumers with usage data.

Communications systems to relay data along the entire energy supply system.

Systems linked to programmable appliances to run them when energy is least costly.

Advantages of Smart Grids

•Ability to respond to

service problems more

rapidly and efficiently.

Lower costs & pollution

Their ability to detect sources of power outages more quickly and precisely at the individual household level.

Advantages of Smart Gids (Contd.)

in Asia continentChina, south Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia are trying

to implement smart technology in their power sector.

Our neighborhood country India, has already started flagship programs

to implement such technology in 14 states

U.S & U.K smart technologies are first experimented.

Smart Technology in Different Countries

It has to be installed, virtually everywhere. The creation of an intuitive end-user

interface. High costs Customers perspective. (intrusive, regulation

of usage inside homes, up front costs, cyber attacks, privacy implications, boost of energy rate)

Consumers Reaction to Smart Grids

Use of high information technology

Provide information to both

energy suppliers & consumers

How smart grid does differ from existing infrastruture

Improved decisions making

Reduce power wastage

Lower costs & pollution

Increased employment opportunities

How smart grid does differ from existing infrastruture (Contd.)

The issues that should be deemed in developing a smart grid

Convince consumers to switch over to the smart grid system

Shown how the utilization of the smart grid will benefit

Management Issues

Provide information feedback efficiently

consumers to overcoming the intrusive feelings

Develop privacy system of consumers

Management Issues (Contd.)

Operating budgets & profits

Implementation of appropriate structure

Organization Issues

Networks and switches for power management.

Sensor and monitoring devices to track energy usage and distribution trends.

Systems to provide energy suppliers and consumers with usage data.

Communications systems to relay data along the entire energy supply system.

Systems linked to programmable appliances to run them when energy is least costly.

Technology

Using websites & mobile phones to monitor their energy usage

I think the Challenges that can hamper to the development of smart

grid as next

Expensive technology

Installing two-way meters

Challenges behind Development

•Non-user friendly Dashboard

Retrofitting infrastructure

Potential economic impact on energy companies

Probability of cyber attack and loss of privacy

Intrusiveness and confusing about technology

Challenges behind Development(Contd.)

The different areas of infrastructure the smart grid can contribute as next

A smart meter is a normal water meter connected to a data logger that allows for the continuous monitoring of water consumption.

Smart water system

Uses of smart water meters together with the latest technologies

Provides real time data to better monitor water usage, distribution and problems such as leakage.

Smart Water Grid

Monitor water flows much like electric usage

Turn off lawn sprinklers during the heat of the day or based on predetermined schedules

Use monitors in lawns and around plants and shrubs to prevent over- or under-watering

Monitor evaporation rates

Monitor pools, fountains, and other water features for usage 

Functions of Smart Water Meter

 More efficient operations

Customer service

   Environment

   Resilience

   Flexibility

   Affordability

Benefits of Smart Water Meter

I think my home and community must be a part of smart grids system because

Ensure transparent billing systemHelp to reduce costs of unnecessary power Help the authority to make proper

distribution of resourcesHelp to detect the amount of power

contributed by family and communities in the national grid

Reduce tension of power users regarding ghostly bill expenses

Besides proper distribution of power ensure healthy environment

Why smart grid in family & community level

Though have challenges it’s really smarter

Have to reduce costs of related technologies by further extensive research

Technology investments should pursue complementary assets

Develop user friendly technology

Need help of federal government & private sectors

Promote Mass awareness

Recommendations & Conclusion

Thank you
