SMART GRID

BYLAKSHAY SWAMI

• Smart Grids are a process, not a product.• May be best understood as the overlaying of

a unified communications and control system on the existing power delivery infrastructure

• It is the electricity delivery system integrated with communication and information technology.

What exactly Smart Grid is?

• It provide right information to right entity the right time to take right action

• It is a system that optimizes power supply and delivery, minimizes losses, is self-healing, and enables next-generation energy efficiency and demand response applications.

Smart Grid Concept

OBJECTIVE OF SMART GRID

To support the modernization of the Nation's electricity transmission and distribution system.

Typical components of a Smart Grid system

• Smart Power Meters• Smart Substations• Smart distribution• Smart generation

A Smart Grid will exhibit key characteristics:

• Self-healing and resilient • Asset optimization and operational efficiency • Enable demand response • Power quality • Market empowerment

Engineering Economics and Financial Benefits of Smart Grid

• Optimizing the value of existing production & transmission capacity.

• Improvement in energy efficiency.• Improving assets and overall production.

Challenges for Smart Grid

• Financial resources• Government support• Compatible equipment• Lack of policy and regulation• Capacity to absorb advanced technology

If Smart Gird is implemented then:

• Our power sector can become more efficient, reliable, adaptive and smarter.• Consumer, Companies &Communities save

power and money.• And ultimately this would result in lower level of

Green House effects because of reduced emission Green House gases.
