Summary
This introduction gives an overview and understanding of
innovative solutions for Smart Grid implementations and
how this improves the total business development for
utilities and other stakeholders.
It highlights various challenges and solutions and how to
optimize total performance of the power system.
We will discuss the importance of “holistic approach” to
understand different aspects of solutions and technologies,
business aspects and ROI (Return of Investment).
This two day training is a separate training, but it is also a
preparation to an extended, in depth training, with
workshops, reference visits and simulations where different
solutions and technologies are explained in details.
Upon completion of the training the students should have a
basic understanding of:
The scope of the Smart Grid technologies and systems
The challenges and solutions for the implementation of Smart
Grid
How Smart Grid technologies can reduce total cost of ownership
and contribute to bottom line.
An overview of ABB and it’s positioning as well as views of
future trends and developments.

Smart Grid/Innovation training course
How to prepare for future challenges?
More and more innovative solutions will be built in the future
energy system, based on industry-wide standards that optimize
the whole system, providing stable, secure and environmentally
sustainable electrical energy.
This ongoing evolution will also provide greater control of energy
costs as well as reliable energy supply for the consumers.
Investing in innovative technologies realizing reduced peak
demand, integration of renewable power sources etc. will lead to
benefits such as a reduced climate footprint.
ABB has numerous innovative projects in all regions of the world
which will help us to give our customers and suppliers a more in-
depth understanding of this emerging business.
Why Smart Grid / Innovation Program?
The purpose with the Smart Grid / Innovation Program is to create
a proactive approach that combines existing and new
technologies to optimize the overall performance. From a
technical as well as an economic aspect this will minimize the
total cost of ownership. We will have a close dialogue on any new
opportunities and solutions that we uncover.
Benefits from the Smart Grid concepts.
Improved performance and economy of the system and other
benefits show how combining existing and new technologies can
increase the overall system performance.
Increased degree of utilization by improved supervision, IT/OT*
integration, improved stability and security can contribute to
improved economy and reduce total cost of ownership.
As an example, utilization of relevant data to achieve a real-time
performance analysis of T&D assets, from one end of the
enterprise to the other, can be realized with Asset Performance
Management (APM). The result of this analysis will highlight any
risk of failure and pinpoint any device at risk. If an important
device has a high risk factor, this is useful information to prioritize
and allocate investments to minimize unplanned outages and
related costs
* IT/OT integration is the combination of traditional
operational technologies and new innovative IT solutions.

Training Program and objectives
This is a one-of-a-kind training program that breaks new ground
in smart grid design and innovative developments and
showcases the implementation of the future energy system.
We will study smart grid best practices with new technologies,
innovations and ideas that are spurring the implementation of
next generation power systems, growing utility economies,
reducing emissions and empowering consumers to conserve
and save.
This course gives you an overview of emerging grid
infrastructure, including smart grids and micro grids. It covers
grid technologies, operational issues, economics and integration
of renewable power, new consumer patterns and loads such as
electric vehicles, etc.
Looking further ahead, we will see how a lack of grid
infrastructure can be a barrier to power growth of all types, not
just renewables, as well as a unique opportunity to go straight for
new, distributed grid/generation models.
Key learning objectives
• Understand the workings, limitations and upgrading
requirements of current electricity grids.
• Analyze how, for example, renewable power sources affects
electricity grids, including issues such as capacity, power
quality, grid stability, etc.
• Discuss the evolution of future power systems, particularly
those containing significant, and sometimes distributed,
intermittent generations and loads.
• Learn the various solutions which are set to transform power
delivery, including “smart grids” and “micro-grids”, electricity
storage and demand management.
• Discuss the business model consequences and investment
requirements driven by changes in future power delivery.
• Discuss the importance of the future supervision and control
of the grid including control room functions.

Who should attend?
This training course is specifically designed to give a basic, but
still, comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the smart grid to
professionals who need to understand the developments and
opportunities in this field. This could include:
• Management representatives
• Heads of policy, system development and strategies
• Grid infrastructure planners
• Control room planning engineers and operators
• Heads of product or project planning and implementation of
the future grid
Prerequisites
The participants should have basic knowledge of power systems
as well as general business knowledge.
Examples of Smart Grid possibilities and challenges
covered in the course.
The main cornerstones for the implementation of Smart Grid
technologies can be categorized in numerous ways. In this course
we will work on the general areas below:
Demand
