Introduction
The 20th century had seen significant advances in energy
generation, delivery and utilization, but has also
produced tremendous impact on the environment and
natural resources.
• Significant changes must be made to how we generate,
deliver and use energy so as to
– establish sustainable utilization, and
– restore environmental balance.
• Education must occur at all levels:
– researchers;
– workforce;
– consumers.
3
Needs of the 21st century
• Decrease fossil fuel consumption
– 85% of today’s energy supply comes from fossil
fuels.
– Transportation and electric generation need to
move away from fossil fuels.
– Fossil fuels are the predominant contributors to
environmental pollution.
(COx, SOx, NOx, particulates)
– Will also lead to energy independence.
4
• Increase renewable generation
– 7% of today’s energy supply comes from
renewable sources (hydroelectric,
geothermal, wind, solar, biomass).
– Renewable generation must increase
significantly but responsibly.
• Increase nuclear generation suitably
– 8% of today’s energy supply comes from
nuclear power
– Nuclear generation must increase so that
there is adequate supply from steady
sources.5
Sustainable utilization of resources
• Technological enablers
– Energy efficient buildings with thermal storage
– “Smart” homes and “smart” appliances
– Demand response and load management programs
– Energy efficient transportation: hybrid and electric
vehicles
– Storage and direct conversion technologies
• Growing need for conservation
• Demand profiles will change significantly
– Composition of load is changing
– Load factor is likely to change too

Distributed Generation (DG) technology
incorporates wind turbines, micro turbines,
photovoltaic systems, fuel cells, energy storage and
synchronous generator applications to supply active
power to distributed systems connected close to the
consumers load. This concept is becoming a major
player for Green House Gases (GHG) mitigation
and power system reliability.
Distributed Energy Resources
• Generating Devices
– Windmills
– PV and solar thermal
– Microturbines
– Fuel cells

Challenges of Distributed Generation
Intermittent in nature.
Free but not always usable.
Deteroriate system stability.
Less efficiency.
Voltage regulation problem.
Less predictable load patterns – rooftop
solar, electric vehicles, and smart grid
Changing revenue patterns - Decreasing
marginal prices and changes in resource
operational pattern

Solution to the challenges :
Upgrade existing traditional grid to smart grid.
Smart grid can absorb large fluctuations.
Demand side management and demand response.
Smart systems allow better use of variable
capacitor banks, STATCOM, automatic
reclosures,etc.
SCADA approach to volt/VAR control.

Smart Grid :Overview
16
Coined in 2007 by A. Carvallo.
According to United States Department of
Energy’s modern grid initiative: an intelligent or
smart grid integrates advance sensing
technologies, control methods and integrated
communications into the current electricity grid.
Fig 4. A “Smart” Grid
According to[EPRI 2006]: “The term ‘Smart Grid’ refers to a modernization of the electricity delivery system so it monitors, protects and automatically optimizes the operation of its interconnected elements from the central and distributed generator through the high-voltage network and distribution system, to industrial users and building automation systems, to energy storage installations and to end-use consumers…”

Advanced Metering Infrastructure(AMI)
or Smart Meters :

A smart meter is a digital meter that record energy usage inreal time.
Includes hardware, software, communications, consumer energy displays and controllers, customer associated systems, Meter Data Management (MDM) software, and supplier business systems.

2. Application Layer :
Information converted to actionable intelligence via
meter specific applications.
With large numbers of highspeed sensors called PMUsand the ability to compareshapes from alternatingcurrent readingseverywhere on the grid,research suggests thatautomated systems will beable to revolutionize themanagement of powersystems by responding tosystem conditions in arapid, dynamic fashion.

Integration of DG with Smart Grid
31Fig 12. The integration of DG with Smart Grid
Rules of interconnectionANSI C84.1 defines the acceptable range of voltages on the feeder for
normal and contingency conditions.
• Range –A voltages apply to normal conditions.
– Max service voltage for Range A is 126V, and min service voltage is
114V
• Range B voltages are for contingency or emergency operations, such
as when a feeder is switched to a backup source.
– Max service voltage for Range B is 127V, and min service voltage is
110V
• The nominal substation voltage on the PNM system is 122.0V with a
3V bandwidth for LTP (load tap changing)
• PNM distribution standard calls for no more than a 4% voltage drop
on any secondary circuit serving a customer.

A Smart Grid impacts all the components
of a power system and generation is
likely to change with a drive towards
more renewable generation. This will
lead to conservation of the environment
and decrease the adverse effects of
