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]

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)

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
Thank you for your kind attention!
