SMART

GRID
WHAT IS SMART GRID?

 An intelligent electricity- delivery system:


❖ energy suppliers and consumers: interconnect
through a network
 Smart meters:
❖ are installed at homes and business
❖ monitor energy consumption
❖ transmit that information back to energy providers
 Energy providers :
❖ track energy consumption
❖ automatically throttle down energy consumption
on a granular level when demand gets too high.
WHO ARE USING SMART
GRID?

❖ Individual consumers

❖ Corporate participation

❖ Government regulators
HOW SMART GRID IS USED?
❑ Foster communication between the energy company and the end
consumer

❑ Electricity is sent from:

Energy Distribution destination


company center

❑ Allows energy companies to track areas of high use, identify possible


outages, and provide the proper service.
COMPARISON
Smart Grid Architecture
Smart Grid Facilitate:

 More efficient transmission of electricity


 Quicker restoration of electricity after power disturbances
 Reduced operations and management costs for utilities,
and ultimately lower power costs for consumers
 Reduced peak demand, which will also help lower
electricity rates
 Increased integration of large-scale renewable energy
systems
 Better integration of customer-owner power generation
systems, including renewable energy systems
 Improved security
SMART GRID COMPONENTS

 SMART METER

 PHASOR MEASUREMENT

 INFORMATION TRANSFER

 DISTRIBUTED GENERATION
SMART METER

 RECOGNIZES AND DETAILS ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION


 RELAYS INFORMATION TO CENTRAL MONITORING
STATIONS

 WILL REPLACE TRADITIONAL METERS

 POWER OUTRAGE NOTIFICATION AND POWER QUALITY


MONITORING

 TIME OF DAY CHARGES.

Structure of Smart Grid
ADVANTAGES OF SMART
GRID
➢ Reduces the cost of blackouts

➢ Helps measure and reduce energy consumption and


costs

➢ Helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint

➢ Opens up new opportunities for tech


companies meaning more jobs created!!!
DISADVANTAGES OF SMART GRID
 Biggest concern: security and privacy
 Smart Grid: use
❖ automated meters,
❖ two-way communications: between a power consumer and provider
❖ and advanced sensors
 Some types of meters can be hacked
 Hacker:
❖ gain control of thousands, even millions, of meters
❖ increase or decrease the demand for power
DISADVANTAGES (cont.)

 Not simply a single component

 Various technology components:


❖ software, the power generators, system integrators, etc.

 Expensive for consumer:
