3. WHAT IS SMART GRID?
 An intelligent electricity- delivery system:
 energy suppliers and consumers: interconnect through a network
 Smart meters:
 are installed at homes and business
 monitor energy consumption
 transmit that information back to energy providers
 Energy providers :
 track energy consumption
 automatically throttle down energy consumption on a granular level
when demand gets too high.

4. WHO ARE USING SMART
GRID?
 Individual consumers
 Corporate participation
 Government regulators

5. HOW SMART GRID IS USED?
 Foster communication between the energy
company and the end consumer
 Electricity is sent from:
 Allows energy companies to track areas of high
use, identify possible outages, and provide the
proper service.

6. COMPARISON

7. SMART GRID COMPONENTS
 SMART METER
 PHASOR MEASUREMENT
 INFORMATION TRANSFER
 DISTRIBUTED GENERATION

8. SMART METER
 RECOGNIZES AND DETAILS ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION

 RELAYS INFORMATION TO CENTRAL MONITORING
STATIONS
 WILL REPLACE TRADITIONAL METERS
 POWER OUTRAGE NOTIFICATION AND POWER QUALITY
MONITORING
 TIME OF DAY CHARGES.

9. WORKING OF SMART GRID

10. ADVANTAGES OF SMART
GRID
 Reduces the cost of blackouts $$$
 Helps measure and reduce energy
consumption and costs
 Helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint
 Opens up new opportunities for tech
companies meaning more jobs created!!!

11. DISADVANTAGES OF SMART
GRID
 Biggest concern: security and privacy
 Smart Grid: use
 automated meters,
 two-way communications: between a power
consumer and provider
 and advanced sensors
 Some types of meters can be hacked
 Hacker:
 gain control of thousands, even millions, of meters
 increase or decrease the demand for power

12. DISADVANTAGES (cont.)
 Not simply a single component
 Various technology components:
 software, the power generators, system
integrators, etc.
 Expensive for consumer: $60 per month

13. WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
 Fastest growing business in the Green-Tech market
 Was included in Obama’s stimulus bill
 U.S. Congress “act without delay”
 Very few companies invest and utilize: Austin Energy
(Texas) and Pacific Gas & Electric (California)

14. SMART GRID FUTURE
 In the near future, will not be any vast
development
 Risky because of financial demands and
regulations
 In the long-run, attitudes will change, wide
spread usage of the smart grid from every
business to every home just like the Internet

15. CONCLUSION
 Smart Grid is a concept designed to provide
electricity in more efficient way by better
allocating electricity according to consumer’s
wants.
 It integrated multiple energy sources and
avoid over-generation as well.
 In foreign countries, namely the UK and USA,
started to implement as they see it as a
solution of energy and environment pressure
in their own country.
