3. The electric grid is considered the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th
century – that made every other invention possible
Yet the present electric grid is the world’s largest analogue machine - limited visibility
and control of power flows
Traditional electric grids have limited sources of power injection and millions of points
of consumption which is fast changing with numerous points of power injection and
millions of points of consumption – a paradigm shift
The emerging Smart Grids, that can monitor and control power flows in real time, will
likely be the biggest engineering achievement of the 21st century – can meet the needs
of sustainability, economic viability, and security
Developing countries like India can leapfrog traditional infrastructure build-out to
smart grids at marginal cost
– Help address access and availability of electricity
– Enable integration of renewables and higher efficiency
Smart Grids – raison d'être

4. Smart Grids – an analogy to the human body
A smart grid intersects the electrical grid with automation, communication and IT
systems that can monitor power flows from points of generation to points of
consumption (even down to the appliance level) and control the power flow or curtail
the load to match generation in real time
Increased visibility, predictability, and even control of both generation and demand allow
utilities to better manage variability, integrate intermittent renewable generation and
also reduce costs of peak power

15. Smart Grid Roadmap: other initiatives
15
1. Tariff mechanisms, new energy products, energy options and programs to encourage
participation of customers in the energy markets that make them “prosumers” –
producers and consumers – by 2017
1. Create an effective information exchange platform that can be shared by all market
participants, including prosumers, in real time which will lead to the development of
new and enhanced energy markets
2. Investment in research and development, training and capacity building programs for
creation of adequate resource pools for developing and implementing smart grid
technologies in India
• Can also become a global leader and exporter of smart grid know-how, products and
services

16. Smart Grids – need for a roadmap
• A transparent roadmap on future policies and programs will help capacity building by all
stakeholders - utilities and the industry - so that projects can be implemented without
time or cost overruns
• Smart Grids span multiple functionalities and options – each utility could be different
based on legacy, priorities, business case, etc
– There isn’t (and cannot be) a Systems Requirement Specification (SRS) Template like
that of R-APDRP for Smart Grids
– Need flexibility and dedicated specialized manpower to handle the diverse, complex,
and evolving needs of technology, standards, policy, regulations, innovation, etc
• Smart Grids are more a process than a product – cannot buy a standard package off-the-
shelf
The suggested Roadmap will be an evolving policy document that will give a clear direction
to state governments, regulators, utilities and industry
16

17. Smart Grid Roadmap – next steps
Phase I: Strengthen the existing institutional mechanisms for Smart Grid (immediate)
• ISGTF presently has a small secretariat with 3 people on deputation from
PowerGrid, functioning from PowerGrid’s Gurgaon offices; their costs are reimbursed from
R-APDRP
• Urgent need to strengthen ISGTF Secretariat with 8-10 smart grid experts inducted from
different streams
• Secretariat may be moved to Central Board of Irrigation and Power (CBIP) in Chanakyapuri
which will facilitate better coordination with MoP and ISGF
Phase II: Begin a Ministry of Power level Smart Grid Mission (within 3 months)
• The strengthened ISGTF Secretariat could prepare a blueprint for taking MoP’s Smart Grid
Mission to a National Smart Grid Mission
– The blueprint would cover details relating to specific programs and projects in different utilities in each state
and estimate the capital outlays for such programs and projects and its timelines
– All stakeholders may be consulted in preparing the same. They would also lead to smart grids standards
development and build technically feasible and economically sustainable business models relevant to the
Indian context
– Such an initiative at MoP level will accord higher institutional authority and budgetary support for ISGTF as
well as demonstrate MoP’s commitment for a national mission which will help harnessing support from other
stakeholders
Phase III: National Smart Grid Mission (early 2014)
• Launch an independent national mission with its own resources and funding mechanism
that will bring national level support from other Ministries, Departments, and the States
after drawing wider consensus on needs, targets, and delivery mechanisms
