Overview of Smart Grid
A SMART GRID
COMPARISON
COMPONENTS OF A SMART GRID
A Smart grid has two main components:
The connectivity Network
• Core Networks
• Distribution Networks
• Access Networks
Sensing and measurement
CORE NETWORK:
The Core network handles connectivity between substations and utilities’ head
offices. Technologies used for core network implementation include:
Wireline technologies
Fiber
Wireless technologies
WiMAX
SMART METER
Smart meters are to mutual benefit for utility and consumer.
The smart meter makes a greener difference.
FEATURES:
Communication-able
Smart disconnect/reconnect
Tamper Protection
Voltage Quality
Load profile
Shunt measuring principle-secures
Tariffing
Energy Awareness
DEVICES FOR SMART GRID
ENERGY HUB: Energy Hub makes a high-end energy
dashboard that will offer Google Docs-style spreadsheets and
graphs of resource use.
TENDRIL: Tendril sells a combo of energy management
services, including a wireless in-home energy display, a smart,
web-based energy portal, smart outlets and cell phone apps
that can help homeowners diagnose and cut energy
consumption.
ONZO: is a slick-looking energy display and wireless
sensor kit that runs on energy harvested from the
home electrical cable.
ENERGY DETECTIVE: is an energy management tool
that helps consumers to save 10-20% of their monthly
electricity bill.
DREAM WATTS: is a wireless energy management tool that
focuses on making smart thermostats effective for cutting energy
consumption.
AGILEWAVES: The system, custom-designed for larger
buildings and higher-end homes, needs to be installed by an
electrician and can also be used to dim lights, turn on and off
heating and cooling, and adjust smart appliances.
GOOGLE POWERMETER: it is an online energy information
tool
GREEN BOX: Green Box is focusing on the software side of
things with its web-based energy tool.
Power grid’s initiative towards
smart grid:
Pilot Project in Northern Region
Intelligent Monitoring & Control of the
Interconnected Electric Power Grid Using Wide Area
Measurements (WAM) for Western Region
Benefits of smart grid:
Integrate isolated technologies : Smart Grid enables
better energy management.
Proactive management of electrical network during
emergency situations.
Better demand supply / demand response
management.
Better power quality
Reduce carbon emissions.
Increasing demand for energy : requires more
complex and critical solution with better energy
management
Loopholes of smart grid:
Present Infrastructure is inadequate and requires
augmentation to support the growth of Smart Grids.
Most renewable resources are intermittent and can
not be relied on (in its present form)for secure energy
supply
Regulatory Policies to deal with consequences of
Smart Grid; like off peak, peak tariffs and other
related matters.
Grid Operation : Monitoring & control
CONCLUSION
By using smart grid technology energy can be utilized to the maximum
and would not be wasted.
This technology also helps to save earth from the global warming.
It refers to the modernized version of the earlier traditional method of
energy supply.
THINK ‘SMART’!!!
