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.
