REVIEW OF TECHNOLOGIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRAGIES IN THE AREA OF SMART GRID

INTRODUCTION
The electric infrastructure of today was designed over half a century ago. The load demand is increasing continuously whereas our electric grid is becoming dated. In order to keep up with increasing power demand, there is a need to supply electricity more efficiently and reliably. Reducing losses through the generation, transmission and distribution networks will increase the throughput of current power system. The Smart Grid Infrastructure will have the capability to incorporate a decentralized and deregulated approach of electrical power delivery. Smart Grid will deliver an electrical infrastructure that will supply power with better quality, efficiency and reliability. Smart Grid is a combination of several major fields of

technologies and implementation requires adjustments in the current energy regulations. Establishment of Smart Grid require integration with current supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and Distributed control system (DCS).Whole

infrastructure of Smart Grid (SG) is decomposed into numerous SGs. Smaller SGs are called Micro Smart Grid (MSG) , that MSG will make whole electric infrastructure more reliable and robust. The major components of MSG are;

DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT QUALITY AND RELIABILITY FAULT MANAGEMENT SECURITY MANAGEMENT

DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT


DSM is the combination of strategies by which power utilities manage the energy and load profile. DSM is an integral part of the quality, supply and reliability of power supply network. DSM strategies can shield the power network from transient and dynamic instability. The current power grid is divided into two parts which are transmission and distribution, based on the voltage and functionality. A smart metering device can manage and shape the load of electric utilities. For implementation of smarter DSM strategies an active processing device Synchronous Vector Processor (SVM) is used. SVM can measure phase shift on each phase and

measure angle between transmission buses and distribution buses and adjust the load stability.

QUALITY AND RELIABILITY


Quality and reliability (QR) model includes the summation of several procedures by the virtue of which the power network maintains its health and credibility. Measurements are an integral part for the observations of QR policies of power network. For the implementation of the MSG the data measured have to be in real time, and shall be able to attain the margin of 30 samples per second for phasor measurements in the MSG infrastructure. Many conditions affect the QR of the power infrastructure such as; stability, voltage controllability and reactive power controllability, some can be corrected and controlled by Smart grid technology. Some issues like deterioration of the transmission and distribution lines due to heat losses, natural disasters like strong winds or storm are beyond the control of smart grid technologies and referred as indirect conditions.

FAULT MANAGEMENT
Under the SG frame work, an integrated communications network analogous to internet allows rapid data and information to exchange and real time control of power grid.

Advanced fault detectors (FD) distributed through out the network would immediately signal the fault events providing information on fault nature, location and magnitude. These signals are received by local automated devices and control centers. Most faults can be corrected by preplanned local automation within seconds. The less frequent, large scale faults require the further full coordination of remotely controlled switchgears. And fault elimination is carried out by relay protection and local automation.

SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Current power infrastructure is very susceptible to terrorist attack. SCADA system is present in major centralized power generation systems with the option to access SCADA system remotely. As the power flow on the bus is controlled by SCADA system, therefore an attack on SCADA system can cause a power outage in current electrical infrastructure.

POTENTIAL BARRIERS TO SMART GRID TECHNOLOGY IN AUSTRALIA


The smart grid is a broad collection of technologies that delivers an electricity network that is flexible, accessible, reliable and economic. Smart grid facilitates the desired actions of users and these may include distributed generation. The expansion and management of grid assets. The smart grid agenda in Australia is developing rapidly but is less mature in Europe. To benefit fully from Smart Grid technologies Australia needs to strengthen its focus on the broader systematic issues such as; deployment of demand management and energy storage systems or the optimal

Promoting a seamless Smart Grid world view that integrates operations from market operators, through the transmission system and medium voltage and low voltage distribution networks to the consumers home area networks.

The absolute need for a power grid , at both the transmission and distribution level, that rests on top of a secure and capable communication system As strong cross-jurisdiction commitment to interoperability and open technical standards An ongoing review of market structures to allow the entry of new business models.

Similar agenda are being pursued internationally. The linkage between academia and industry need to be strengthened especially in regard to light house projects that aim to demonstrate technologies at both the household, distribution and transmission levels.
