IntroductionWHAT IS THE SMART GRID?

Defining the Smart Grid is in itself tricky business. Select six stakeholders and you will likely get at least six

definitions.

"is an electrical grid that uses computers and other technology to gather and act on information, such as information about the behaviors of suppliers and consumers, in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity.”.

the Department

Electrical Components of Smart GridsThe smart grid concept penetrates throughout the entire organization:

Smart meters Smart feeders / Distribution Automation Smart substations Smart transmission Smart centralized generation (and

distributed generation)

Distribution Automation Definition

Distribution Automation started in the 70’s

It allows utilities to implement flexible

control of their systems, which can be used to enhance efficiency,

reliability, and quality of electric service.

Distribution Automation is also referred as

Feeder Automation.

Definition by IEEE:'‘Distribution Automation is a system that enables

an electric utility to remotely monitor,

coordinate and operate distribution components in

a real-time mode from remote locations."

Electrical Components of Smart Grids

Distribution Automation Benefits

AMI & Improve reliability Fault Location, Isolation and System Restoration

- Metering management- Reduce outage duration.- Reduce number of

outages.- Improve quality indices

Improve system efficiency Volt/Var Control- Reduce line losses- Fulfill voltage profile

regulation

Effective DG integrationInverters, numerical

protection, SCADA, and others technology options

- Improve impact from ER- Improve Power Quality - Improve Reliability

Advanced asset management

Sensors to determine maintenance program

according to condition-based status

- Reduce maintenance expenses

- Reduce associated failure expenses

- Deferral of replacement

The Smart Grid Maturity Model is

A management toolthat provides a

common language and frameworkfor defining key elements of

smart grid transformationand helping utilities develop a

programmatic approachand track their progress
