Introduction

Energy Situation in South East Asia

Fast growing energy and electricity demand

High electricity rates

Facing massive challenges implementing a reliable and modern

electricity/ power supply

Thailand and Vietnam are among the heaviest energy

consumers in the Region

Smart Grid is nowadays regarded as unavoidably for such a

development

The Smart Grid as a broad concept covering entire energy

especially electricity supply chain and demand side

Objectives of Smart Grid Study

The overall objective

Identify target market segments and sub-technologies

Undeveloped business opportunities (“low hanging fruits”) especially for

German SME’s (Small and medium enterprises)

Identification of application areas and sub-technologies for SG systems

Recommendation regarding the selection of 3-4 concrete

opportunities that

are suitable for commercial-scale demonstration projects

are highly visible to relevant local stakeholders and demonstrate the

benefits of smart grid systems

can be largely supplied by German products and services

can be expected to kick-off market development

Smart Grid Definition by IEA

“A Smart Grid is an electricity network that uses digital and other advanced

technologies to monitor and manage the transport of electricity…Smart Grids co-

ordinate the needs and capabilities of all generators, grid operators, end-users and

electricity market stakeholders …” [IEA-2011-1, p. 6]

Iterative, Incremental Process of Smart Grid Development (Source: IEA)

Thailand - Energy Related Organizations Overview

Thailand's transmission and distribution system is

considered as a “closed system” | 2 relevant transmission and distribution utilities – PEA and MEA

| 1 relevant generation utility – EGAT

Governmental Organizations

Private Organizations

Transmission and

Distribution Utility

• Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA)

• Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA)

Generation Utility • Electricity Generating Authority of

Thailand (EGAT)

• Independent Power Producers (IPP)

• Small Power Producers (SPP)

• Very Small Power Producers (VSPP)

Relevant Government

Agencies

• Energy Regulatory Commission of

Thailand (ERC)

• Department of Alternative Energy

Development and Efficiency (DEDE)

• Energy Policy and Planning (EPPO)

Smart Grid Activities in Thailand – Policies and Activities

Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO), MoE

Engaged with Energy Research Institute (ERI) of Chulalongkorn University

to prepare a Smart Grid implementation plan and roadmap

This will be the guideline for future investment for Smart Grid facilities

Expected to be done ~ 2013

Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA)

Developed roadmap together with ERI

Planned to implement Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in Pattaya

Planned to implement Smart Grid facilities in three stages

Name Timeline Investment

Stage 1 Planning and Pilot Projects 2012 - 2016 10 Billion Baht

Stage 2 Large Scale Expansion 2017 - 2021 40 Billion Baht

Stage 3 Optimal Stage 2022 - 2026 65 Billion Baht

Smart Grid Activities in Thailand – Policies and Activities

Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA)

Projects to modify and improve the existing facilities in relation to efficiency

in operation, customer services, system security and reliability

Energy Management System (EMS) for the analysis of power flow and

contingency for the supply side, substation automation

Distribution Management System (DMS)

Automatic Meter Readings (AMR)

Study on impacts of the connections of VSPPs on grid

Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT)

Utilize modern technologies like SCADA, protection systems, and

communication systems

SG work group to study Smart Grid applications for future implementation

Identified the new technologies to be applied as digitalized substation

Smart Grid Activities in Thailand – Policies and Activities

PTT Public Company Limited Set up an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging demonstration station to

verify the applicability of the technology

Additional Smart Grid Activities The Solar Power Company Group SPCG, with a company from

Japan, plans to launch a smart energy management system next year

Other companies like Schneider, SAP are already working on Smart

Grid opportunities with some of the previous mentioned state

agencies

Smart Grid Activities in Thailand – Objectives/ Improvements

Objectives in the implementation of Smart Grid systems:

“Self-Healing” to correct problems early

Prediction to prevent emergencies

Interaction with consumers and markets

Optimization to make best use of resources

Distributed power generation and information management

Integration to merge all critical information

More Security from threats from all hazards

Possible improvements:

System reliability enhancement

Operation and maintenance cost reduction

Distribution system efficiency improvement

Electricity peak load management

Renewable energy integration

System security improvement

Customer service management

Vietnamese energy related organizations

Vietnam - Energy Grid Issue

Vietnam’s transmission and distribution system is

considered as a “closed system”

All transmission and distribution utilities under EVN

Generation 68 % EVN, 32% BOT’s and IPPs

Vietnam - Energy Related Organizations Overview

The vertical-integrated structure of Vietnamese Energy Sector (Source: ERAV)

Vietnamese electricity market will be reformed and

developed byt hree steps (Decision number 26/2006/QD)

Level 1 (2005-2014): the competitive electricity market

Level 2 (2015-2022): market competitive wholesale electricity

Level 3 (from 2022): the competitive electricity retail market

Decision No. 1208/QD-TTg dated 21/7/2011

The total investment to the power industry to 2020 is approximately

929,700 billions VND (equivalent to 48.8 billions USD), average is

4.88 billions USD annually

2021-2030, the estimated total investment is 1,429,300 billions

VND (75 billions USD)

Smart Grid Activities in Vietnam – Policies and Activities

Strategy of Energy development to 2025 (Source: EVN)

Smart Grid Activities in Vietnam – Objectives - 1

Modern technologies to improve the quality of distribution

grids

Underground infrastructure to limit its influence on landscape

and environment

Utilizing modern technology in investment, operation and

management to reduce power losses.

Activities to reduce power losses, improve energy efficiency

The long-term Smart Grid will relax the pressure on the

investment in the power sector

Improving the grid operation efficiency

Smart Grid Activities in Vietnam – Objectives - 2

Integration of renewable energy resources

Demand for investment by enterprises in the

electricity sector will be reduced

Increase energy efficiency, while allowing

integration of renewable distributed energy

Reduce the demand for imported electricity

Platform for enhanced energy reliability, power

management, and power quality improvement

Summary of Barriers in Thailand and Vietnam

Lack of knowledge and willingness on the private side

Missing regulations and missing common SG plan including

budget regulations

Unwillingness of industries due to unknown and non-visible

KPI

Lack of expertise and underdeveloped technologies fit for

Thai and Vietnamese infrastructure

Precondition for Smart Grid Realization in Region

Further education of the private sector

Clear KPI

Benefits for industrial utilities

Benefits for the private sector

Common Smart Grid plan, including regulation by

government
