SmartGrid
A smart grid is neither a clearly defined single concept nor a single technology. Rather it is like a basket containing various combinations of balls. The context and the interpretation depend upon the user. • Carnegie Mellon University USA
Utility perspective
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 a Smart grid?
“Smart grid” generally refers to a class of technology people are using to bring utility electricity delivery systems into the 21st century, using computer-based remote control and automation.
These systems are made possible by two-way communication technology and computer processing that has been used for decades in other industries.

Definitions
A 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

Why do we need SmartGrid?Improve efficiencies.

SmartGrid changes and PQ Interconnects at multiple levels Changes in the network in real time will
affect many customers and network operations will become more complex.
These will require products to isolate the faults quickly and without network disruption.
Products that can predict failures before the happen or isolate before damage occurs will be in high demand.

Why do we need SmartGrid?Improve reliability!
Sept 8th 2011 a Blackout occurred that affected 5 Million customers in SW USA.• It started at a 500KV substation in Yuma, AZ• It tripped the 500KV line serving San Diego, Ca and
all the border communities in between.• This caused an overload on the remaining
transmission line from Los Angles Area. It tripped.• This removed a large percentage of the load from
the nuclear power station North of San Diego. It shut down two generators
• Blackout lasted from 6 hours to 24 hours

Approximate area of blackout
5 Million people, blackout for up to 12 hours.

Blackout Sept 8th San Diego Ca. USA (Cause?)
The Arizona Public Service Co. worker was switching out a capacitor, which controls voltage levels, outside Yuma, Ariz., near the California border. Shortly after, a section of a major regional transmission line failed

Cost of reliability for this outage
$100 million $ = 3 Billion Thai Baht
www.powerquality.org all rights reserve 14
Could the SmartGrid have prevented this Massive Blackout?
Yes, (if not prevented it could have reduced the impact and dramatically improved the restoration time)
How? Communication!• between the loss of transmission line and
automatic load shedding. • between the North Transmission line and
Nuclear generators that the load would be restored quickly.
• Communication to users that power would be restored quickly.

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
www.powerquality.org all rights reserve 16
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. (Green)
3 Provide power quality for the range of needs in a digital economy.
4 Improve reliability (outage seconds/minutes)

Power reliability = outage > than 2 secondsPQ = the value of voltage and other parameters
PQ/PR issues for Utility side As Bill Howe presented, in general improving
reliability decreases the Quality of Supply.• Voltage sags increase due to network connections• Harmonics will change when switching sources
Voltage transients• Lightning (better protection)• Switching grid will increase• Power Factor Capacitor switching Increase
Voltage unbalance, change as source changes Frequency? worse if microgrids are islanded Phase shifts maybe more frequent when
switching sourceswww.powerquality.org all rights reserve 18
Event Avoidance to improve PR/PQ
Remote load profiling/management
Automatic Grid event diagnostics
Advanced data analysis
Grid condition sensing and predictive response
www.powerquality.org all rights reserve 19
Self-Healing Grid (improve PR)
Improved asset management/visibility
Real-time grid condition monitoring• Increase reliability, increase information
a
Automated grid switching to improve reliability and reduce risk of major blackouts.• It will decrease the Quality of Supply by
increasing the number of switching transients

Advanced Meter Infrastructure• Meters, Revenue, Grid monitors & PQMS• Meter with load connect/disconnect• Automatic outage notification• Two-way communications with meters• Automated meters a critical role in the
Smart Grid architecture as sensing devices.

How will Smart Grid affect Power Quality
Frequent switching of the grid will• Significant increase of switching
transients (until solid state switching devices are used)
Sensitive loads will experience an increase in transients
• Voltage imbalance/unbalance will change with switching alternate sources
www.powerquality.org all rights reserve 25
Harmonics affected by Smart Grid Voltage 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 sags
Interconnection of distribution substations
Increases voltage sags incidents at that voltage level.
www.powerquality.org all rights reserve 27
PQ changes with SmartGrid
www.powerquality.org all rights reserve 28
PQ 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 affects As 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.
www.powerquality.org all rights reserve 29
Conclusions Long Term
GridSwitching 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
