Smart Energy / Grids – General Context

Energy policy "20-20-20" encouraging distributed generation and renewable 20% reduction in emissions, 20% renewable energies and 20% improvement in energy efficiency

• More and more intermittent production leads to new flexibility requirements (production and demand)

• Adaptation of T&D networks to cope with less predictable flows and connection constraints of distributed generation

• New investments and new technologies in the context of the replacement of ageing infrastructures

A smart grid is the combination of an electrical power system and a telecommunication network supporting the deployment of an integrated control of the electrical system, allowing: (1) The advanced management of

generation (centralized and decentralized) and loads (or DSM)

(2) The remote control and the automation of the system, including the implementation of automatic restoration actions and protection again back-out.

Smart Grids – Hype or reality

• Basic technologies is available • Multiple barriers (Economical, Regulatory, Societal and Technological) • Although the deployment of smart grids is slow, heterogeneous and

incomplete, it still presents opportunities (and riks) • Importance of demonstration projects to better understand the real potential

and the costs / benefits

Even though the energy consumption of an average household is declining for the time being, we expect an important increase in power consumption due to new applications like heat pumps and electrical vehicles. Distributed Generation is also challenging (No simultaneity between generation and consumption and low equivalent hours (+/- 850h for PV)

Smart Local Energy Management Smart grids for B2B market

21

It consists of a control system which determines local load scheduling, generation scheduling and use  of  storage  (electrical,  heat,  cold,…)  in  such  a  way that: •  The  profile of net power import from the

electricity grid is as smooth as possible

•  The flexibility in consumption and local production is increased and controllable (day-ahead / Intraday) to respond to energy offers of dynamic pricing (or aggregation),

•  The  local  renewable  electricity  generation  is  as high as possible for a given capacity of the grid connection
