The Smart Grid:

Deconstructed and Demystified
1
Guilty or Not Guilty?
How often do you turn on your kitchen sink faucet,
then leave for the day?

How often do you leave your car idling all night in your
garage?

How often do you leave lights and computers on, and
all charging devices plugged in all the time?
2
Why is electricity held in low esteem?
Because it is always there
Because it is cheap
Because we treat it like a commodity
Because we ignore it
unless..!!

The Traditional Power Grid
Problems with current Power Grid
It is not efficient
Transmission losses = 20%
Only 30% of the energy consumed is transmitted to consumers
It has not kept pace with modern challenges
Security threats from energy suppliers or cyber attack
Limited alternative power generation sources
No solutions for conservative use of energy
Un-interruptible electricity supply
Poor situation awareness
Poor control and management of distribution network
A SMARTER grid is needed!

Top Ten Trends
#1 The Smart Grid will dramatically increase renewable
energy sources for utility-scale and distributed
generation
From this To this
24
Top Ten Trends
#2
Existing transmission assets must be upgraded to transport
the maximum KV amounts on them
25
Top Ten Trends
#3 Security standards will guide protocols, processes and
procedures, but mistakes will occur, creating new
cottage industries for consultants, lawyers, and hackers

26
Top Ten Trends
#4 Distributed generation facilities will be built using
renewable energy sources and storage for onsite
consumption and for resale back to the grid
27
Top Ten Trends
#5 Energy will be stored at many points on the grid,
including rolling batteries (EVs and PHEVs),
home batteries, as well as utility-scale storage
28
Top Ten Trends
#6 ordinary folks will engage in energy arbitrage, using
intermediaries to manage interactions with utilities
#7 Cars become income generators for their owners --
carbitrage
EVs and PHEVs will not lose value the minute they are
driven off the lot
=
29
Top Ten Trends
#8 Energy efficiency-enabled devices will proliferate in
homes my home will be smarter than I am!
#9 HEMS applications will control appliances to save on
energy bills
30
Top Ten Trends
#10 Fight against power thefts.
