Smart Grid- By Rahul Mehra

WHAT IS SMART GRID?
 In definition, Smart Grid is a form of electricity network
utilizing digital technology.
 Its connects between suppliers, distributors and
consumers.
 Its delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using
two-way digital communications to control appliances at
consumers' homes; which in deed will saving the energy,
reduce costs and increase reliability.
 A key feature of the smart grid is automation technology
that lets the utility adjust and control each individual
device or millions of devices from a central location.

NEED OF SMART POWER GRID
 Increasing population and energy demand.
 Exhausting non- renewable energy resources.
 Non- reliability of traditional power supply &
Domino Effect .
 Negative effect of emissions from present
power generators on environment.

• Traditional Power Grid:
One-way flow of electricity
Markets and Operations
Generation
Transmission
Distribution
Consumption

CONCEPT OF SMART GRID
 The basic concept of Smart Grid is to add
monitoring, analysis, control, and
communication capabilities to the
national electricity delivery system.
 This in turn can maximize the output of
equipment, help utilities lower costs,
improve reliability, decrease
interruptions, and reduce energy
consumption.

THE FUNCTIONALITY OF SMART GRID
 A Smart Grid must functions as followings
 Be able to heal itself
 Motivate consumers to actively participate in operations
of the grid
 Resist attack
 Accommodate all energy generation and storage options
 High quality power
 Optimize asset to run more efficiently
 Enable high penetration of intermittent generation
sources

•CUSTOMER BENEFITS
 Ensures reliability & quality of energy supply.
 Offers efficiency gains for on-site applications.
 Enables savings on electricity.
 Provides a stand-alone power option.
 Provides customers a choice in satisfying their particular
energy needs.

National benefits
 Reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
 Responds to increasing energy demands.
 Responds to pollutant emission concerns.
 Provides low-cost, reliable energy essential to maintain
competitiveness in the world market.
 Creates numerous job opportunities.

Problems of Indian Power Grid
 * Poorly planned Distributed network
 * Over loading of system components
 * Lack of reactive power support & regulation services
 * Low metering efficiency & bill collection
 * Power theft

Prospects of Smart Grid in
India
 Smart grid implementation across India could
reduce transmission and distribution losses by
up to 30%.
 Minimize the need for increased generation
capacity
 Greater utilization of renewable and
decentralized sources of energy generation.
