Smart Grid

Why?Improve grid reliability and resiliency.

To withstand physical and cyber threats without suffering wide-scale outages and recover from outages quicker.

Avoid costly outages.

Today’s grid doesn’t know when its components have failed, the cause of the failure, or whom it has affected.

Empower consumers and business to manage energy consumption.

Enable customers and businesses to better manage electricity consumption via software and Web-based tools

Implement renewable energy sources.

One of the aims of the smart grid effort is to harness energy through renewable sources like solar and wind and reduce dependency on traditional methods of power generation.

Reduce environmental impacts.

To help reduce the environmental impact (particularly carbon emissions) of electricity generation and consumption

Growing energy demand, aging grid infrastructure, concerns over national security and global climate change have encouraged investment in a smart grid

What? An intelligent, auto-balancing, self-monitoring power grid that accepts any source of fuel and transforms it into a consumer’s end use with minimal human intervention

Smart Grid contd…

Components: Two-Way Communications – Advanced

metering infrastructure and enhanced telecommunications to enable two way communication system

Use of advanced meters, sensors, digital controls and analytic tools

Designed and Programmed Intelligent appliances to enable remote controlling from the grid

Information Technology – Facilitate the integrated platform for technologies involvement and high speed computation of data from the grid

Renewable Energy and Storage Systems – Enable distributed generation

Benefits:Facilitate customers to be able to better manage their energy costs and help reduce the demand for electricity in peak times

Enhances the energy efficiency of the electricity power grid

Automation, monitoring and control of the two-way flow of electricity across networks, from the point of generation to homes and businesses

Enabling the benefits of large scale renewable energy, distributed power generation and distributed storage to be maximized throughout the network. Includes the option for charging and retrieving electricity from electric vehicles

Smart Grid City – India Perspective

Current Scenario in India India's generating capacity is to grow from 150 GW in 2010 to 800 GW in 2030.

With urbanization, the demand-supply gap is ever increasing

The peak electricity supply shortfall was 16.6 percent and overall shortage was 9.9 percent in supply during 2007-08

Energy shortage during Apr-Sep 2008 was 10.6 per cent

Government's implementation process of RAPDRP is a great step towards reducing this gap and to gear up for the future demands.

India is actively working towards:

Adopting Smart Grid technologies, with the power utilities, both government-owned and private

Gearing up for charting out plans

The ministry of power and the electricity regulatory commissions also devising strategies for its adoption for both medium and long term plans

Smart City Pilots in India – A roadmap to implement a smart grid in the city was laid at a workshop held by the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM). The pilot project will be implemented in Electronic City.

Smart Grid City – India Perspective

In India the key drivers for implementing the smart grid city are –

Challenges in the power supply

Address Demand Management

Concern of energy Loss– large segments of load is unmetered

Cope with intermittent energy sources

To enable the optimization and integration of wind, solar and other alternative energy solutions 

Analysts worldwide believe that India should actively look at smart grid implementation to not only resolve its power sector problems but also to Leapfrog

into the “Smarter City”

Smart City

What? The use of Smart Computing technologies to make the critical infrastructure components and services of a city — which include city administration, education, healthcare, public safety, real estate, transportation, and utilities — more intelligent, interconnected, and efficient.Source – Forrester

Components

Why?Scarcity of resources

Inadequate and deteriorating infrastructure

Energy shortages and price instability

Global environmental "weirding" and human health concerns

Demand for better economic opportunities and social benefits

Smart City – Benefits

Benefits

City administration: Streamline management. An efficient city administration that provides services to its citizens and fosters businesses is essential to today’s service-based economy.

Education: Increase access, improve quality, and reduce costs. The heightened use of technology in education will increase access, improve the quality and experience, and reduce costs.

Healthcare: Increase the availability and provide more rapid, accurate diagnosis. A smart healthcare system is built on scalable storage systems and a communications platform.

Public safety: Use real-time information to respond rapidly to emergencies and threats. With more people living in the city, police, fire, and other public safety personnel need to respond more quickly to emergency situations as well as stay on top of the overall crime rate.

Real estate: Reduce operating costs, increase the value, and improve occupancy rates. Smarter real estate — from office buildings to manufacturing plants to shopping malls and residential homes — delivers a myriad of financial and environmental benefits.

Transportation: Reduce traffic congestion while encouraging the use of public transportation. Offering faster and more convenient public transportation alternatives is already on most cities’ road maps to reduce congestion and related financial and environmental impacts.

Utilities: Deliver only as much energy or water as is required while reducing waste. A smart utility infrastructure — for energy and water — entails making existing systems efficient and finding new ways of producing and delivering water, gas, and electricity.
