WHAT IS SMARTGRID?
Short answer:
Smart Grid = Electric Grid + ICT
ICT – Information & Communication Technologies / Tools
ICT – Integrated Communication Technologies
A smart grid (SG), is also called smart electrical/power
grid, intelligent grid, intelligrid, future grid, intergrid, or
intragrid

SMART GRID -DEFINITION
National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), USA
A modernized grid that enables bidirectional flows
of energy and uses two-way communication and
control capabilities that will lead to an array of new
functionalities and applications.

SMART GRID -DEFINITION
IEEE
Smart grid is a large ‘System of Systems’, where
each functional domain consists of three layers:
(i) the power and energy layer,
(ii) the communication layer, and
(iii) the IT/computer layer.
Layers (ii) and (iii) above are the enabling
infrastructure that makes the existing power and
energy infrastructure ‘smarter’

SMART GRID -DEFINITION
U. S Department of Energy
A smart grid uses digital technology to improve reliability,
security, and efficiency (both economic and energy) of the
electrical systems from large generation, through the delivery
systems to electricity consumers and a growing a number of
distributed generation and storage resources.

IMPORTANT ASPECTS OFWHAT ‘SMART’
Observability: It enables the status of electricity grid to be
observed accurately and timely by using advanced sensing
and measuring technologies;
Controllability: It enables the effective control of the power
system by observing the status of the electricity grid;
Timely analysis and decision-making: It enables the
improvement of intelligent decision-making process;
Self-adapting and self-healing: It prevents power disturbance
and breakdown via self-diagnosis and fault location.
Renewable energy integration: It enables to integrate the
renewable energy such as solar and wind, as well as the
electricity from micro-grid and supports efficient and safe
energy delivery services for electric vehicle, smart home and
others.

SMART GRID “ELEVATORSPEECH” FOR CONSUMER
Right Now With Smart Grid
Utility doesn’t know when power
is used
Utilities will offer you lower rates for
using power in “off-peak” times
Utility often relies on you to tell
them when your lights go out
Your lights will go out less often and
outages won’t last as long
Large blackouts like the northeast
in 2008
The grid will automatically create
“firebreaks” fast enough to stop them
Utilities do green power and
electric cars as “one-offs”
Consumers with green power and
electric cars can be everyday items
Utilities are 10-30 years behind in
cyber-security
Your electric power will not be as
vulnerable to attackers
Energy prices will increase as
aging infrastructure is replaced
Prices won’t rise as fast because the
system will be more efficient

EVOLUTION OF CONVENTIONALGRID
1870’s & 1880’s – DC Power Systems
Charles Brush & Thomas Edition – Distributed DC for
lighting of arc lamps and incandescent lamps
respectively.
December 1880 – Brush Electric company – central
station to supply of 3.2 km length of Broadway with arc
lighting.
September 1882 – Edition Electric Illuminating
Company – Pearl Street station - lower Manhattan –
one square mile.
Six jumbo dynamos – 85 customers – 400 light lamps.
Each dynamo – 100 kW – 1200 lamps – 110V
underground duct transmission line.

EVOLUTION OF CONVENTIONALGRID
Recognition of AC Distribution System
May 16, 1888 – Nikola Tesla – AIEE meeting
A New System of Alternating Current Motors and
Transformers
George Westinghouse – Patents of Nikola Tesla
AC could be generated at low voltage, transformed to
high voltage for transmission through thin,
economically sized wires over long distances, then
again transformed to a suitably low voltage near the
point of use.

EVOLUTION OF CONVENTIONALGRID
AC Distribution System - Several milestones

1892 – Hochfelden to Oerlikon, Switzerland – 14 miles
1892 – River Gorzente to Genoa, Italy – 18 miles
1892 - San Miguel River to Telluride, Colorado -8 miles
1892 – Tivoli to Rome, Italy – 18 miles
1892 – Tariffville to Hartford, Connecticut – 11 miles
1914 – 55 transmission systems -> 70 kV – max. 150 kV
1930 – Utilities became well-established

#9 The result of this large-scale increase in the use of computer and communications technologies is to enable a variety of applications, over a wide area, that were previously not possible. It will link utilities in real-time with markets, with other utilities, with other locations, and most importantly, with customers. It will change the operation of the grid from primarily reactive to predictive and optimizing.
#15 This is a proposal for how this fundamental change would be presented to the consumer in a short period of time, say in the time it takes for an elevator to move between floors.
