SMART GRID BY- Rahul Mehra

WHAT IS SMART GRID?

In definition, Smart Grid is a form of electricity network utilizing digital technology.

Its connects between suppliers, distributors and consumers. Its delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using

two-way digital communications to control appliances at consumers' homes; which in deed will saving the energy, reduce costs and increase reliability.

A key feature of the smart grid is automation technology that lets the utility adjust and control each individual device or millions of devices from a central location.

NEED OF SMART POWER GRID Increasing population and energy demand.

Exhausting non- renewable energy resources.

Non- reliability of traditional power supply &

Domino Effect .

Negative effect of emissions from present

power generators on environment.

CONCEPT OF SMART GRID The basic concept of Smart Grid is to

add monitoring, analysis, control, and communication capabilities to the national electricity delivery system.

This in turn can maximize the output of equipment, help utilities lower costs, improve reliability, decrease interruptions, and reduce energy consumption.

CONCEPT OF SMART GRID

THE FUNCTIONALITY OF SMART GRID A Smart Grid must functions as followings Be able to heal itself Motivate consumers to actively participate in operations of

the grid Resist attack Accommodate all energy generation and storage options High quality power Optimize asset to run more efficiently Enable high penetration of intermittent generation sources

 COMPONENTS OF SMART GRID

•CUSTOMER BENEFITS

Ensures reliability & quality of energy supply.

Offers efficiency gains for on-site applications.

Enables savings on electricity.

Provides a stand-alone power option.

Provides customers a choice in satisfying their particular

energy needs.

National benefits

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Responds to increasing energy demands.

Responds to pollutant emission concerns. Provides low-cost, reliable energy essential to maintain

competitiveness in the world market.

Creates numerous job opportunities.

Problems of Indian Power Grid * Poorly planned Distributed network * Over loading of system components * Lack of reactive power support & regulation services * Low metering efficiency & bill collection * Power theft

Prospects of Smart Grid in India

Smart grid implementation across India could reduce transmission and distribution losses by up to 30%.

Minimize the need for increased generation capacity

Greater utilization of renewable and decentralized sources of energy generation.
