Systems (www.hubnet.org.uk/filebyid/613/SmartGridComms.pdf)

7. Adaptive
generation
Prosumers
Conventional way: Power balance is
guaranteed by the control of generation
(generation follows the changes of
consumption)
Expectations for Energy Grids
Case 1: Power Balance and Flexibility
Over-frequency =
Generation higher
than consumption
Under-frequency =
Consumption higher
than generation
Future flexible solution: Power balance
is managed cost-effectively by both
solutions: control of adaptive generation
as well as flexible load. Dimensioning and
operation of the grids enable this
Flexibility!

ICT INFRASTRUCTURE
APPLICATIONS
AND ALGORITHMS
Done in FLEXe
Development of
methods for optimal
dimensioning of
energy infrastructure
Development of load
control algorithms,
frequency control
applications
Development of high
quality and advanced
measurement, data
management and
communication systems

9. Conventional way: Reactive operation
in interruptions of energy grids, long
delays, centralized automation.
Expectations for Energy Grids
Case 2: Reliable Connection
Future flexible solution: Proactive
planning and management of energy
grids utilizing high-quality
measurements and Big Data analytics to
avoid interruptions and allow flexibility
actions in energy system. Advanced
protection, fault isolation and supply
restoration functions included.

Case 2: Reliable Connection
Done in FLEXe
Development of methods
for planning and
operation of weather
resistant infrastructure
Development of condition

location algorithms, data
management
Development of high-
quality and advanced
measurement and
communication systems

11. Conventional way: Energy end-customers
are dependent on continuous system level
connection (one-direction power flow, no
energy storage)
Expectations for Energy Grids
Case 3: Energy Independence (Island Operation)
Future flexible solution: Energy end-
customers have local resources and
solutions to continue energy usage during
system blackouts. Local smartgrid solutions
(microgrids) enable this!
