2. • Smart Grids are a process, not a product.
• May be best understood as the overlaying of
a unified communications and control system
on the existing power delivery infrastructure
• It is the electricity delivery system integrated
with communication and information
technology.
What exactly Smart Grid is?
3. • It provide right information to right entity
the right time to take right action
• It is a system that optimizes power supply
and delivery, minimizes losses, is self-healing,
and enables next-generation energy
efficiency and demand response
applications.
SMART GRID(CONTD..)
5. OBJECTIVE OF SMART GRID
To support the modernization of the Nation's
electricity transmission and distribution system.
6. Typical components of a Smart Grid
system
• Smart Power Meters
• Smart Substations
• Smart distribution
• Smart generation
7.
8. A Smart Grid will exhibit key
characteristics:
• Self-healing and resilient
• Asset optimization and operational efficiency
• Enable demand response
• Power quality
• Market empowerment
9. Engineering Economics and Financial
Benefits of Smart Grid
• Optimizing the value of existing
production & transmission capacity.
• Improvement in energy efficiency.
• Improving assets and overall production.
10. Challenges for Smart Grid
• Financial resources
• Government support
• Compatible equipment
• Lack of policy and regulation
• Capacity to absorb advanced technology
11. If Smart Gird is implemented then:
• Our power sector can become more efficient,
reliable, adaptive and smarter.
• Consumer, Companies &Communities save
power and money.
• And ultimately this would result in lower level of
Green House effects because of reduced
emission Green House gases.
