Smart Metering Presentation
- 1. SMART METERING S M A R T G R I D T E C H N O L O G I E S A N D A P P L I C A T I O N S EYRA T. HERRERA
- 2. ELECTROMECHANICAL METERS Poor accuracy Lack of configurability Moving parts prone to wear with varying operating temperature and conditions Only energy measurement Drawbacks: OLD GRID SYSTEM!!!
- 3. SMART METERING Smart metering is a building block in the digitalisation of the grid systems High degree of accuracy In real - time Enables the measurement and monitoring of utility consumption such as electricity, gas, water with:
- 4. BASIC TECHNOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES/CHARACTERISTICS Provision of metering data and related information to the central system REMOTE READING Interaction between the central system and the consumer BI-DIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATION Saves time and resources for utilities and customers Sends commands remotely Remote disconnection and reconnection The European Smart Meters Industry Group (ESMIG) has reduced the minimum features of a SM to the following four:
- 5. BASIC TECHNOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES/CHARACTERISTICS Offers higher data accuracy in real time SUPPORT OF ADVANCED TARIFF SYSTEMS AND BILLING APPLICATIONS REMOTE ENERGY SUPPLY CONTROL Reduces billing errors Improving efficiency of utility management Load balancing Energy purchase/sale contracts (peak and off-peak hours) Facilitates integration of renewable energy
- 6. DEMAND RESPONSE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL & RECENT TRENDS ENERGY EFFICIENCY Helps make more informed Reduces waste decisions about energy consumption Allows consumers adjust their usage in response to changes in the price of electricity Improves grid stability
- 7. ANTI-FRAUD TECHNIQUES RENEWABLE INTEGRATION GRID MODERNIZATION Detects and responds quickly to outages Balances energy flow efficiently Allows energy consumers to play a central role SMs are exposed to the risk of hacking Threat to all the parties
- 8. POTENTIAL BUSINESS VALUE PROPOSITIONS IOT (INTERNET OF THINGS) HAN (HOME AREA NETWORK) Consuming profiles, load control, remote switching of home devices, time-varying prices Uncertainy over the evolution of standards
- 9. POTENTIAL BUSINESS VALUE PROPOSITIONS CYBERSECURITY Strong encryption Authentication tools Needs to be addressed to ensure the future of smart grids
- 10. POTENTIAL BUSINESS VALUE PROPOSITIONS RURAL ACCESS 1st solution: Moving LPWA gateaways + satellite communication 2nd solution: Data Mule
- 11. SMART METERING PROJECTS ITALY EXAMPLE Utility ENEL: 30 million SMs over a 5 year period (70 euros per house) Savings: 500 million euros/year Power consumption has decreased 5% Features: Demand side, remote billing, service outage detection, fraud detection and multi-tariff scheme
