SUMMARY :

The Smart Grid has the potential to

• Fundamentally transform Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Consumption of energy .

• Increasing efficiency of the Power system.

• Enabling consumer control over demand .

• Increasing visibility for energy suppliers.

INTRODUCTION :

• A smart grid is a modernized electrical grid that uses

A) Analog or Digital Information

B) Communication Technology

to gather and act on the information in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the power system.

The Smart Grid is the most Significantchange in the Electrical Grid in 100 years.

Smart grid is not a technology but a visionto transform the existing power grid in to avery effective and efficient system whichshall benefit both utility and the consumer.

Smart Grid affects power and processmanufacturing industries across the board

Conclusions:We must keep in mind that with transformational initiatives like Smart Grid, that there are a lot of challenges associated with them.

Smart Grid utilizes new and transformational technologies and processes, but many of the challenges generated by the deployment of the Smart Grid are known problems for which solutions exist .

Smart Grid provides intelligent and advanced power system control for the coming years.

Country National Smart Grid Initiatives

China The Chinese government has developed a large, long-term stimulus plan to invest inwater systems, rural infrastructures and power grids, including a substantial investmentin smart grids.

China’s State Grid Corporation outlined plans in 2010 for a pilot smart grid programmethat maps out deployment to 2030. Smart grids investments will reach at least USD 96billion by 2020.

United States USD 4.5 billion was allocated to grid modernisation under the American RecoveryReinvestment Act of 2009, including:• USD 3.48 billion for the quick integration of proven technologies into existing electric

grid infrastructure• USD 435 million for regional smart grid demonstrations USD 185 million for energy storage and demonstrations

Japan The Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan is developing a smart grid thatincorporates solar power generation by 2020 with government investment of over USD100 million.

Country National Smart Grid Initiatives

United Kingdom OFGEM has set up a Low Carbon Networks fund that will allow up to GPB 500m support todistribution network operator projects that test new technology, operating and commercialarrangements.

France The electricity distribution operator EDF is deploying 300000 smart meters in a pilotproject based on an advanced communication protocol named Linky. If the pilot is deemeda success, ERDF will replace all of its 35 million meters with Linky smart meters from 2012 to2016.

Brazil Several utilities are managing smart grid pilots, including Ampla, a power distributor in Riode Janeiro State owned by the Spanish utility Endesa, which has been deploying smartmeters and secure networks to reduce losses from illegal connections. AES Eletropaulo, adistributor in São Paulo State, has developed a smart grid business plan using the existingfibre-optic backbone.

The utility CEMIG has started a smart grid project based on system architecture developedby the IntelliGrid Consortium, an initiative of the California-based Electric Power ResearchInstitute.
