DESIRED OPTIMISATIONS
DEMAND OPTIMISATION
DELIVERY OPTIMIZATION
ASSET OPTIMIZATION
RENEWABLES OPTIMIZATION
Refers to monitoring, control & communication
functions
Important aspects of DA are in areas of protection
and switching
Helps in quickly reconfigure interconnected network
of feeders
Can detect fault current and voltages
DATA INCLUDES
CALIBRATION
To compensate for unaccounted energy calibration
process applied
Residential, Small Office & commercial building
sector responsible for over 50% of total electricity
consumption
Homes, offices and commercial buildings treated
as an interconnected network instead of single
units
Able to communicate, interact & negotiate with
both customers & energy devices in local grid
Grid operated more efficiently as consumption is
better predicted
SMART HOME NETWORK
MICROGENERATION
Small homes can generate wind and solar power which
if in surplus amount can be sold back to the distributor
SMART METERS
With their help user consumption can be measured,
monitored and controlled
Smarter decisions made by consumers can be
communicated back to grid
LOCAL STORAGE UNITS
Enables smart homes to store energy for future use
Introduces a holistic concept & technology for
smart homes
Smart homes & buildings treated as proactive
consumers also known as prosumers
Prosumers negotiate & collaborate as an intelligent
network
A communication technique to automatically
collect the meter readings & other relevant data
from meters
AMR has benefits beyond meter reading
It provides crucial data on an insight into other
areas of operation
For small commercial customers monthly
consumption read is sufficient
For large commercial and industrial customers
daily consumption read is required
Remote monitoring devices attached to meters
store hourly consumption profile
Accurate bills provided to customers are more
satisfying than estimated bills
RF COMMUNICATION
Most widely accepted method of communication
between meter and data collection
A wake-up signal is sent by data collection system to
the RF devices
Devices send back the latest meter read & other
information
RADIO-EQUIPPED HAND-HELD COMPUTER
OUTBOUND SYSTEMS
Master station calls the remote meter module to
collect data
Usage reporting device at each customer
site is called a SMART METER
Computerised replacement of electrical
meters
Contains a processor, non-volatile storage &
communication facilities
Can track usage as a function of time-of-day,
disconnect a customer via a software or send out
alarms in case of problems
Interface directly with smart appliances to control
them
Necessary to support major applications & systems
such as demand response, wide area measurement
& control, electricity storage & transportation.
TRUST
PRIVACY
Electricity use pattern could lead to disclosure of
when people are at home or work or travelling
This could support criminal targeting of homes
Most effective solution for securing smart grid
based on PKI technologies
PKI TOOLS
They tell how to work on the PKI standards
Ease the management of PKI components in the
Smart Grid application
DEVICE ATTESTATION
