ISGF and European Commission (DG ENER) & the European Union Delegation in Delhi are jointly organising a series of Smart Grid Workshops in India and Europe. The first of the series was held in Nice, France in June 2015 and second was held in Vienna in Nov 2015. Leading technology companies and utilities from Europe and select group of policy makers and industry members from India participated in the workshops.

The Third EU-India Smart Grid Workshop will be held during 01 – 03 September 2016 in Bornholm Island, Denmark. Bornholm Island is experimenting with integration of wind energy and electric vehicles to be completely independent from the Danish grid; and well on its way to be the first in the world that will meet 100% electricity from renewable energy sources. The focus of the workshop will be on upscaling and deployment of smart grid demonstrations in India and the lessons learned from large renewable energy and smart grid deployment projects in the EU nations. Several key decision makers from utilities, ministries and regulatory commissions from India will be participating in this workshop.

To join the India delegation, please write to Alakh: [email protected] (ONLY FEW SEATS LEFT!)

Smart Grid Updates: Policy, Regulations & Standards

New York Utilities present 5-year DER plans

US Bill brings ITC to Energy Storage

The Federal Council of Germany Approved Policy for Nationwide Rollout of Smart Meters

US Government Commits $4.5 Billion to EV Buildout

New York's six investor-owned utilities submitted five-year plans to add distributed energy resources (DERs) to the electric grid. The plans proposed ways to modernize the grid without a complete grid overhaul, instead using efficiency, storage and other technology solutions to accommodate the region's increasing power demand. Consolidated Edison (ConEd) proposed a five-year roadmap to integrate approximately 800 MW of DERs by 2020, including advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). ConEd said overall power demand is growing by about 0.2 percent per year and the company plans to invest $5 billion in power distribution over the next five years to replace old cables, harden the grid against weather impacts and make reliability improvements.

US senators have introduced a new Bill for energy storage that brings in investment tax credits (ITC) for both grid-scale and residential energy storage systems. The ‘Energy Storage Tax Incentive and Deployment Act’, a bipartisan bill co-sponsored by seven senators and introduced in Congress in late May, uses the current ITC for solar energy as its model in a bid to open up competitive storage markets. For commercial applications of storage, under the new Bill, all energy storage technologies including batteries, flywheels, pumped hydro, thermal energy, compressed air, among others qualify for the ITC, but the system must have a storage capacity of at least 5kWh.

The Digitisation of the Energy Turnaround Act approved provides a roadmap to deploy a new metering system in Germany in line with the EU directives. The new policy is based on the EU legislative the Third Internal Market Package which stipulates all EU member states equip 80% of their consumers with smart meters by 2020. The policy calls for the deployment of advanced meter infrastructure to begin from 2017 through to 2032 for consumers using more than 6,000 kWh annually, as well as plant operators with an installed capacity of more than 7 kW.

The announcement by the White House focused primarily on the in loan guarantees for charging stations, but also highlights collaboration between the Federal government and private companies, including some major electric utilities, automakers, charging station manufacturers and operators. Some of the main action points following the announcement includes the launch of the ‘Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act’ or ‘FAST Act’, a process to identify zero emission and alternative fuel corridors, including for electric vehicle charging across the country. Another action point of the Federal government is a call for state, county, and municipal governments to partner with the Federal government to procure electric vehicle fleets at a discounted value. Furthermore, data will be leveraged to host an ‘Electric Vehicle Hackathon’ to discover insights and develop new solutions for electric vehicle charging. A guide to Federal funding, financing, and technical assistance for electric vehicles and charging stations will also be published.Read More: http://www.metering.com/news/48217/

Competitions at ISGW 2017

The electric grid is on the threshold of a paradigm shift – after 100 years of focus on centralized power generation and creation of massive electric grids that span the globe, the shift is now towards de-centralized generation. In the past 5 years, the picture of the grid has changed dramatically in many geographies. With the increasing share of generation resources being added at the distribution end, the traditional boundaries between generation, transmission and distribution are fast disappearing. With consumers becoming 'prosumers', the grid that is built for one-way flow of electricity is now experiencing bi-directional flow of electrons, revenue and data. Large fleets of Electric Vehicles that will be soon be able to aggregate as virtual power plants which could support short-term supply-demand balancing will make the grid even more dynamic and complex. For many such applications, cross cutting issues such as communications, cyber security, data analytics, business models, policies and regulations will be of high importance. India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) in association with Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) is pleased to announce an INNO-THON as part of India Smart Grid Week (ISGW) 2017 for inviting innovative ideas that could transform the power sector.

Who can participate: Students, Researchers, Utilities and Technology Enthusiasts Challenge: To showcase an innovative and ground-breaking concept via a hardware model, concept note, a software tool etc.

Prize: Winner gets an award of INR 1,00,000 and Certificate for Championing the Event. First and Second-runners-up will get attractive prizes. All participants will receive a Certificate of Participation. All participants will receive a Certificate of Participation.

Location: NSIT, Delhi | Date: 23 - 24 January 2017

For participating in the INNO-THON, please write to Akshay Ahuja: [email protected]

Protection of the critical infrastructure is the primary objective of any nation and the power sector assumes top priority as all other sectors depend directly and indirectly on the power sector. With the convergence of electrical technologies, information technologies and operational technologies in a smart grid, security of Control Systems has become extremely important. Since physical assets are associated with the cyber space of a utility, cyber – physical security completely defines the security paradigm of a utility. This dependency of the physical assets on the cyber assets (and vice versa), is prompting electric utilities to build resiliency and robustness into their grids. Gone are those days when few were interested in hacking electric grids. Today knowledge about Industrial Control Systems (ICS) is widely distributed and many attacks have been launched on ICS. India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) in partnership with National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Center (NCIIPC), Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) is pleased to announce a HACKATHON as part of India Smart Grid Week (ISGW) 2017.

Who can participate: Students, Researchers, Utilities and Technology Enthusiasts Challenge: To 'Capture The Flag (CTF)' which involves participants to hack into a SCADA system, toggle a switch and exit the system.

Prize: Winner gets an award of INR 3,00,000 and Certificate for Championing the Event. First and Second-runners-up will get attractive prizes. All participants will receive a Certificate of Participation.
