Major challenge: improving reliability
In U.S. the annual cost of system disturbances is an estimated $80 billion*
Commercial ($57 billion), industrial ($20 billion) and residential ($3 billion)
sectors affected
Most cost ($52 billion) due to short momentary interruptions
Poor reliability is a huge economic disadvantage

Four main areas of emphasis
Capacity for increasing demand
Providing the backbone of the future electrical system
Reliability of electricity supply
Upgrades and new installations to meet the future challenges

Economic build up of capacity
Capacity
Investment in global grid infrastructure is estimated to total $6 trillion by
20301
Present grids can be refurbished to operate at full capacity without
compromising safety
New installations must provide maximum flow of energy to any location in
the grid
In 2020 the fleet of electric cars could reach 40 million world wide, around 2
percent of the cars on the road by then1
The infrastructure for charging the vehicles has to be built
Fast charging options cannot be provided by the current grid infrastructure
The future electrical system must be used at its full capacity
and must be able to cope with new challenges

Power generation and grid coupling
Efficiency
Conversion efficiency of primary energy to
electricity is steadily increasing
Advanced process control adds to the overall
efficiency
Equipment and systems to couple generation to
the grid are becoming more efficient
An improvement of only 1% in efficiency can save
100 million tons of CO2 (emission of 50 M cars1)
Estimates allocate a double digit energy saving
potential in power generation2
In future electric systems highly efficient power
generation is mandatory

Saving potential in transmission and distribution
Efficiency
Losses of electrical energy in the grid can reach 6-10 %
Aging equipment with lower efficiency and thermal losses in conductors are
the main reasons
Inefficient distribution transformers account for about 30 percent of losses
Network losses in EU are an estimated 50 TWh, the annual consumption of
13 million households1
In future electrical systems losses
must be reduced significantly

storage primary has the following tasks:
To provide load support during a few
hours per 24 h.
To store excess energy produced
locally (PV) when the grid or the local
consumers for whatever reason can
not use.
To control and dynamically stabilize
the voltage.
To mitigate harmonics, unbalances
and voltage dips and thereby provide
a high power quality.
