Key Issues and Challenges in Smart Grid Implementation

Dr. S. N. Singh
Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering,
Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India

Abstract
Due to the increased interconnections and loading of the network with liberalization and
environmental pressure, the power systems have become complex and facing many challenges in
their optimal, secure and efficient operation. Smart grid initiatives seem to provide remedial
measured to these problems by computational intelligence, automation, advanced measurements,
and application of information and communication technology (lCT). Several countries have
already taken the first step in the direction of smart grid by unbundling the power system to bring
competition with the introduction of renewable energy sources. Future power system structure,
operation, control and management will be quite different from the existing one as it will foresee
large market players with direct involvement of consumers, more renewable energy sources and
trading of electricity. Increased integration of new and renewable energy sources in the existing
grid is one of the major concerns in the recent years which will have a significant influence on
the operation and control of power systems. New grid codes are being set up by several countries
to specify the relevant requirements to integrate these generations in the existing electric power
system. The main objective of this talk is to discuss the key issue in the smart grid
implementation. The talk provides a platform to an in-depth discussion on the various challenges
and their possible remedies in smart grid initiatives which will benefit participants from
academic and R&D institutions, engineers of utilities and policy makers

Abstract
High efficiency, high power density, compact size, silent operation, high reliability and low wear
and tear of the magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motor, makes it a suitable choice in many low
and medium power applications. Due to these features, PMBLDC motors are widely used in
household equipments, industrial tools, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC),
robotics, automation and medical applications. This seminar aims to present power factor
correction (PFC) converters for feeding PMBLDC motor drives as a cost effective solution for
low power household appliances. The selection of suitable PFC converter for particular
application depends upon various aspects such as total number of components of PFC converter,
voltage and power rating of BLDC motor, requirement of galvanic isolation, cost and efficiency
of the overall system. This work presents various configurations of the PFC converters, which
are classified into five different categories of non-isolated PFC converters, bridgeless non-
isolated PFC converters, isolated PFC converters, bridgeless isolated PFC converters and
integrated and high quality rectifiers. A PFC converter operating in discontinuous conduction
mode (DCM) is used to control the PFC converter via an approach of voltage follower; which
requires a single voltage sensor for PFC and DC link voltage control. Analysis, design and
control of these PFC converters for improvements in power quality at AC mains of the
PMBLDC motor drive is presented in this seminar. The speed of PMBLDC motor is controlled
by adjusting the DC link voltage of the VSI feeding PMBLDC motor which allows the VSI to
operate in fundamental frequency switching for reducing the switching losses in VSI. The other

major aspect of the seminar includes simplicity in control, reducing the number of sensors and
cost and increasing the overall efficiency of the system.

Abstract
Serious failures in power transformers owing to insulation breakdown cause considerable
financial losses due to power outage and costs for replacement or repair. Another important
motivation for the efforts to develop and apply better diagnostic tools for assessing the condition
of large power transformers is the increasing age of the transformer in use. Since the solid
insulation within the transformer is not accessible, the main aim of modem diagnostic procedure
is to carry out measurement without having to open the transformer. Researches carried out at
High Tension Laboratory of Jadavpur University on such non-invasive transformer insulation
diagnostic methods are presented in this article.

INDIAN GRID OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE


INTEGRATION & ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Prof. Rajendra Kumar Pandey, Senior Member IEEE


Department 0/ Electrical Engineering, liT (SHU), Varanasi-221 005

ABSTRACT

The operational complexities of large interconnected power system are matter of great concern from
voltage and frequency view point due to massive network interconnections and dynamical changes. Since
the expansion of overall system is a continuous process, the Grid parameter's maintenance is a major
challenge. It is known that Indian power network is operating as "One Nation One Grid" from Dec 31,
2013; the sensitivity to any minor change locally may be viewed by the global network at large due to
interactive features of various components such as generators, transmission network and loads at different
levels. The concept of Smart Grid recently evolved ensures the deployment of sensory devices such as
Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) at strategic location of entire network to get the system parameters
such as voltage, current, angle, frequency, rate of change of frequency for effective monitoring of
network in real time to understand the overall system functionality. Till date most of the utilities are using
PMUs information for visualization and manual decision, however the system demands real time control
generation utilizing the signals received through PMUs. The Smart Grid can only be conceptualized if an
intelligent automation with integration of Information, communication and control (lCT) technologies is
developed to monitor the Grid parameters and subsequently utilized for precise control injection in real
time. The Smart Power Flow Control (SPFC) strategy driven with ICT using PMUs signals can be
evolved for the purpose. The usage of SPFC is required at each level of generation, transmission and
distribution systems in a clustered from. The forming of clustered control may be conceptualized by
dividing the entire distribution network in groups, on the same line entire transmission network and the
generators are also clustered. The hierarchy of control, using ICT which is linked with PMUs signaling at
each level, is developed and suitably interfaced at distribution, transmission and generation level. This
results in a fast coordinated control with changing power injection statistics using FACTS controllers, and
thus becomes an ideal control option for self healing Grid. In next decade, with renewable integration the
power system is going to witness a major change of technology integration and adoption of new
controllers in form of intelligent controller to drive the large power network to a relatively safe
operational mode with PMUs with integrated ICT module. The Grid interface technology along with
control is another area of research and required a careful Grid Architecture design in case of RES
integration. The integration of Renewable Energy Resources (RES) is another big challenge in large

Page 9

power network due to variability of RES and intermittency, this poses serious concern to Grid operators
while interfacing with existing Grid structure.

Abstract
AC technology has been the key on the development of the electricity business for almost hundred years.
It allows a simple and the cheapest way to produce electricity, ease way to convert power from one AC
voltage to another, and more important, because the regular current zeros makes it easy to interrupt the
current. HYDC is not a new technology, it was introduced in 1954, since then, it has been used for very
special applications where the controllability of the DC power transmitted is an issue and where the
absence of reactive power flow between the terminals is significant benefit. Those very specific
applications made HYDC technologies the most economic or the only technically feasible choice (e.g.
interconnection asynchronous AC networks with different rated frequencies, 50 and 60 Hz). Two main
HYDC technologies are available Line Commutated Converter (LCC HYDC) and Voltage Sourced
Converter (VSC HYDC) technology. LCC is a mature technology and has reached the voltage level of
±800kVDC in Xiluodo - West Zhejiang Project in China, it is rated at 7.2 GW. VSC HYDC technology
has developed very fast in recent times with schemes rating up to ±320kVDC and power up to 800MW.
VSC HYDC schemes with 1.4 GW power, 623 km is expected to interconnect Norway and Germany
(NordLink). The most HYDC schemes in service today are point to point schemes using LCC which
limits the use of more converter stations, VSC HYDC offers a great potential of multi-terminal
topologies. An example is the 2,000 MW Quebec - New England Transmission system opened in 1992,
which is currently the largest multi-terminal HYDC system in the world. The first ever VSC HYDC

Page 13

multi-terminal was designed to bring wind power generated on Nanao Island into the China mainland, it
was put into operation on 14th December 2013, a three terminal ±160kV/200MW-I00MW-50MW, based
on MMC (Multilevel Modular Converter) technology. A multi-terminal North-East Agra project is
planned for commissioning in 2016, (8000 MW, 800 kV using four bipolar lines). Looking to the future,
the creation of large multi-terminal HYDC systems, or even meshed HYDC Grids, will take the
opportunity of potential economic benefits those configurations (or even complex). HYDC is changing
the way the power system looks like and it will do more in the future. However, building meshed HYDC
grids will result in a number of technical challenges: protection schemes of heavily meshed HYDC grid,
functional control strategies for the HYDC grid, development of central co-ordinating controllers,
development of efficient DC/DC converters, etc. The aim of this workshop is to present a general
overview about the main challenges and opportunities of Future DC Systems. Many question will rise
from this workshop, much of them have not being answered yet but at least are we asking the correct
questions (?).

Abstract
The integration of Renewable Energy Systems (RES) and Distributed Generations (DG) into
existing and future unified electricity systems will represent an enormous technological as well
as energy management challenges.Energy research is the pillar of any long-term energy policy,
providing scientific knowledge and technical options to make energy systems more efficient,
affordable, accessible and environmentally friendly. The specific nature of some of renewable
sources, viz., solar and wind power as a distributed and variable generation source requires
specific infrastructure investments and the implementation of new technology and energy
management concepts to tackle the issues like grid stability, congestion management, and
transmission efficiency and transmission adequacy. There are manyother 'soft' measures
possible, but expansion of transmission lines will also be needed.Expansion and reinforcements
are needed to accommodate whichever power generation technology is chosen to meet a rapidly
growing demand capacity. In one of IEA estimation, by 2030, over 1.8 trillion USD will have to
be invested in transmission and distribution networks in the DE CD alone.

Regulatory Framework for Grid Connectivity of Resources


To Enhance Grid Security

D K Srivastava
(B.E. Electrical Engineering)
Director, CEA, New Delhi, India
dhiraj cea@gmail.com

Abstract
Sub-section (b) of Section 73 of the Electricity Act, 2003 gives the mandate to Central
Electricity Authority (CEA) to specify technical standards for connectivity of electrical plants
and electric lines to the grid and Section 177 of the Act empowers CEA to specify such
standards by notification. In compliance of these provisions in the Act, CEA had notified
"Technical Standards for connectivity to the Grid" Regulations, 2007 on 21 st February 2007.
These regulations are required to be complied with by all the Generating Stations, Transmission
Licensees, Distribution Licensees and Bulk Consumers for connecting their plants, substations
or network with the grid at 33kV level or above. As far as generating stations are concerned,
these regulations were drafted keeping in view primarily the conventional thermal and hydro
generating stations. With Renewable Energy Resources (RES) like wind & solar power stations
including rooftop solar power stations coming in a big way and their increasing penetration into
the grid, the grid performance might get affected adversely unless technical standards were
appropriately amended. Further, such power stations were to be connected at voltage level of
less than 33 kValso.

Intelligent Control of Power Electronic Systems for Wind


Turbines

Dr. B. S. Rajpurohit
School of Computing and Electrical Engineering,
Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi

ABSTRACT

Grid integration is one of the major concerns in recent years as renewable power generation level
keeps on increasing continuously in the power system. Therefore, renewable will have a
significant influence on the operation and control of emerging power system, which is expanding
in terms of interconnections, network capacity, load demand and addition of new devices for
improving the performance of the system. New grid codes are being set up in several countries
by specifying the relevant requirements for efficient, stable and secure operation of power
system and these specifications have to be met in order to integrate wind power into the modem
electric grid. Several states of India have high penetration of wind power and specific grid
connection requirements (GCR) for wind power are yet to be established. Present discussion is to
discuss about several technical solution with Intelligent Control of Power Electronic Systems for
Wind Turbines for Indian power systems for better and efficient large scale grid integration of
renewable power generation.

Optimization for Energy Systems

Vivekananda Mukherjee
Department of Electrical Engineering,
Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad
Jharkhand, India

Abstract
Electric power systems have experienced continuous growth in all the three major sectors of the
power system, namely, generation, transmission and distribution. Electricity cannot be stored
economically, but there has to be continuous balance between demand and supply. The goal of
an optimization problem is to find the combination of parameters (independent variables) that
optimize a given quantity, possibly subject to some restrictions on the allowed parameter ranges.
The quantity to be optimized (maximized or minimized) is termed the objective function; the
parameters that may be changed in the quest for the optimum are called control or decision
variables; the restrictions on allowed parameter values are known as constraints. The classical
methods present some inconveniences due to the danger of convergence, the long execution
time, algorithmic complexity, and the generation of a weak number of non-dominated solutions.
Because of these inconveniences, evolutionary algorithms are more popular. Recently, the
advances in computer engineering and the increased complexity of the power system
optimization problem have led to a greater need for and application of specialized programming
techniques for large-scale power system problems.

Development of Renewable Energy Sources: An Indian Scenario

Dr. S.P. Pandey


Director, IMS Engineering College
Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh

ABSTRACT
Energy is an essential component for economic development and social progress of any nation.
The economic and political security of developing countries greatly depends on their access to a
secure supply of fossil fuel energy at reasonable cost. Energy is at present devised largely from
fossil fuels. The major sources of conventional energy at present are crude oil, natural gas which
are constantly depleting.

The present available resources are capable of meeting a small part of this demand. Under the
circumstances to achieve part of the goal, we must adopt energy conservation measures. For the
future power generation, the energy shortage will pose a recurring problem due to fast depletion
of fossil fuels and the increase in demand of energy due to increase in population and the growth
of industry. Developing countries are going through a challenging task of addition of generating
capacity to bridge the ever increasing gap between supply and demand of electric power with the
constraints of resources and the conflicting demand of petroleum of the environment. India is a
developing country with a large agriculture base and a growing industrial infrastructure.

Energy Sector had more than 30% or the plan allocation in recent years of which the oil had the
second largest allocation. With the rapidly growing demands for liquid petroleum product, India
is faced with the prospect of substantial increase in imparts, despite an increase in domestic
production of crude & gas.

The export earnings are not sufficient to cover the increasing oil inputs. We have to take some
urgent step, to reduce our dependence on oil through energy conservation, development of
renewable energy sources and energy research planning. The objective should be to assume the
development and applicable of low cost renewable energy technologies which offer the potential
of making significant contribution to our energy needs and which can hel p in reducing long term
dependence in import oil. To face this situation, a need to search for renewable energy sources of
energy has emerged as an option to the conventional energy sources. Development of renewable
energy technologies therefore should be at an economically & environmentally accepted cost.

Power Quality Monitoring and Detection

Dr. Asheesh K. Singh


Dept. of Electrical & Electronics Engineering
MNNIT, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India

Abstract
In last decade, power quality (PQ) has become an ever more present consumer
requirement, thus having an impact on competition in the electricity market. The phrase 'power
quality' includes all aspects of events in the power systems that represent any deviation from
normal operation. The term power quality (PQ) refers to the deviations from the pure sinusoidal
waveform of the voltage or current waveform, or both. The IEEE Std. 1100-1999 defines these,
these deviations, namely, PQ disturbances (PQDs), as "any deviation from the nominal value (or
from some selected thresholds based upon tolerance) of the AC input power characteristics", in.
These PQDs include a broad spectrum of events ranging from very slow steady-state variations
to fast varying transients and high-frequency distortion.
Nowadays, widespread use of sophisticated energy-efficient equipment in power systems,
has led to attracting greater attention of the researchers to develop precise techniques for
monitoring and detection of PQDs. The interest in PQ is two-fold; i.e., equipment has become
more sensitive to PQDs and at the same time, these industrial equipment cause PQDs. Further,
costs of downtimes, associated with these PQDs, are also an important issue, which needs to be
accounted and addressed. Recently, the annual cost of downtimes, related with these PQDs, is
estimated as 10% of the annual company turnover.
Considering the importance of PQ, significant investments are being made on PQ monitoring, to
achieve the real PQ improvements by employing effective mitigation techniques, as these
improvements are coupled with revenue. PQ monitoring is a process of gathering, analysing, and
interpreting the huge database collected through continuous measurement of voltage and current.
Also, the PQ monitoring is vital requirement to obtain valuable information for the end users and
to implement best possible solution to reduce the cost of downtime. Detection of PQDs is
another significant aspect of finding efficient mitigation scheme for these PQDs. In this talk,
both the issues, i.e., monitoring and detection are covered. Also, the various limitations of

existing PQ monitoring and detection schemes are highlighted, and possible solutions to reduce
these limitations are suggested.

Serious failures in power transformers owing to insulation breakdown cause considerable


financial losses due to power outage and costs for replacement or repair. Another important
motivation for the efforts to develop and apply better diagnostic tools for assessing the condition
of large power transformers is the increasing age of the transformer in use. Since the solid
insulation within the transformer is not accessible, the main aim of modem diagnostic procedure
is to carry out measurement without having to open the transformer. Researches carried out at
High Tension Laboratory of Jadavpur University on such non-invasive transformer insulation
diagnostic methods are presented in this article.

Low Voltage VLSI design in Sub 20nm FinFET CMOS for


Mobile and Smart Grid Sensor Applications

Er. Prashant Dubey, Staff Engineer


Embedded Memories and Logic Libraries,
Synopsys India Pvt. Ltd.
N oida, India

Abstact
Low power consumption and high yield of embedded SRAMs are critical for mobile application
SoCs and loT smart grid sensor nodes. Power consumption can be minimized by operating at
lowest voltage called (VDDmin). Working at VDDmin has become challenging day by day as
the technology scales down and we cram more and more transistors on a die, due to increased
variations. As more than 80% of a SoC is an embedded SRAM, it consumes a lot of power.
However in applications like mobile the access is not always needed at the same speed.
Techniques like process aware assist, Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) are used to
reduce the dynamic as well as the static power consumption in CMOS SoC and they are also
applied on the logic and analog such that they can work at VDDmin across process and
temperature comers. This tutorial focuses towards, the understanding of sources of power
consumption in SoC and Smart Grid Sensors nodes. And then the challenges in reducing the
power consumption are discussed along with the solutions for the same. We discuss the
application of such techniques in designing an adequate assist methodology for SRAMs. Using
an on-chip information from the sensor, we have implemented a programmable Read Write assist
circuit in a test chip for 1Mb High Density (HD) and 128Kb High Speed (HS) SRAM in sub-
15nm Finfet process. We have achieved write ability till 0.4 Vwith minimum SNM of 20m V and
an improved access time by39% at the slowest process and temperature comers. The maximum
energy consumption is reducedby at least 24% at 0.4 V. The area impact of this implementation
is less than 5%.
