Smart Grid elements

The Smart Grid- is the “two-way flow of electricity and information to create an automated, widely distributed energy delivery network. “ (FCC National Broadband Plan).

This also describes the update to existing power grids to become networked and intelligent. It includes: An intelligent monitoring system that keeps track of all electricity flowing in the

system It incorporates the use of superconductive transmission lines for less power

loss It has the capability of integrating alternative sources of electricity such as solar

and wind When power is least expensive a smart grid could turn on selected home

appliances or factory processes that can run at arbitrary hours. At peak times it could turn off selected appliances to reduce demand.

ETSI/Smart Grids Scoping Meeting – June 14, 2010

Three main areas

BEFORE THE METER : the Grid Improvement of the Transmission & Distribution of electricity with

interconnected TSOs and DSOs

AT THE METER : the Smart Meter It is the interface between the grid and the consumer and provides

THE information for the consumer invoices. Provides more information to bill customers.

AFTER THE METER : in the customer premise Management of the demand to better control the electricity

consumption of customers Potentially real time information on the consumption of customers Possibility to use demand/response capabilities to manage peak time

The Business Context

The smart grid offers new opportunities and benefits for the utilities industry, vendors, governments, consumers and players from other markets

Transformation of the energy grids involves many architectural elements that are commonplace amongst Telco’s

Key decisions are being made now and deployment is already occurring in some regions

It is estimated that building Europe's smart grids will require 150 billion €

The Smart Grid vision will become reality beyond 2020

Stakeholders have different interests, culture and needs Pushed by public authorities to

achieve political goals Pushed by “new entrants” to

capture new business

Consumers do not see the full benefit yet

There are strong technical, regulatory and cultural obstacles

Some of the Key issues Grid communications requirements includes generation, transmission, distribution

and consumption Is it: one network, multiple, private, commercial or a combination?

Grid communications requirements range from mission critical confidential data that needs to be transmitted in real time, to less critical data transmission such

Privacy – regulation & the Grid Data collected by smart meters shows if someone is home or not, Provides details on

habits and patterns of the household, Alerts authorities to unlawful activity , identifies energy inefficient customers (and could penalise them)...

Environment Reducing environmental impact and increasing efficiency are major policy drivers behind

building smart grids It is also a message that resonates with consumers
