This presentation summarizes key aspects of smart grid technology. It discusses topics that will be covered, including an introduction to smart grids, their implementation and explanation, advantages and disadvantages, and users. The presentation defines smart grids as using automatic reconfiguration and control through a combination of hardware, software and communication infrastructure. This allows consumers and utilities to manage and respond to energy issues. The presentation outlines pillars of smart grids and their benefits, such as reducing emissions and optimizing distribution, while also noting challenges and costs. Examples of implemented smart grids are provided.

2. GROUP MEMBERS:
• Ahsan, Md. Ashraf Ul
• Sabrina, Faria
• Mahmud, Hasan
• Ahmed, Mukit

3. TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED :
• Introduction to smart grid technology.
• Implementation and explanation.
• Advantages and disadvantages
• Users and usage.

4. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU TAKE THE 20TH
CENTURY POWER GRID AND UPDATE IT WITH THE
21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGY?

5. SO WHAT EXACTLY IS SMART GRID?
• Automatic reconfiguration and exertion of a level of
control.
• Combination of hardware, management and reporting
software in an intelligent communication infrastructure.
• Consumers and utility companies alike can manage,
monitor and respond to energy issues.
• It monitors, protects and automatically optimizes the
operation of its interconnected elements.
• The Smart Grid in large, sits at the intersection of
Energy, IT and Telecommunication Technologies.

7. PILLARS OF SMART GRID:
• Transmission Optimization
• Demand Side Management
• Distribution Optimization
• Asset Optimization

8. MAKING THE CASE FOR
SMART GRIDS
• Reduction in carbon emissions.
• Better growth management of electricity
consumption.
• Decentralization of energy generation.
• Offers better Consumer Service.
• Optimizing Distribution.

9. OVERVIEW OF SMART GRID

10. • Self healing
• Smart grid is designed to
integrate sources
• Real time data is available
• Fast and automatic
• A complete digital system
• Not self healing
• Does not allow integration of
sources
• Real time data is not available
• Slow and manual
• Mostly involves analog functions

11. WHAT DOES BUILDING A SMART GRID
INVOLVE?

12. SMART GRID INCLUDES:
• Integrated communications
• Sensing and measurement
• Smart meters
• Superconductive wires
• Storage devices
• Wireless communication

14. ADVANTAGES OF SMART GRID
TECHNOLOGY:
• Peak Leveling
• Democratization of Electricity
• Self-Healing
• More Reliable Power
• More Efficient Renewable Power
• A Cleaner Mix of Energy Sources

15. • Smart Devices & Smart Homes
• Reducing Our Carbon Footprints
• Smart jobs

16. DISADVANTAGES OF SMART GRID
TECHNOLOGY:
• Security and privacy cost.
• Two way communications can be hacked.
• Technology components are expensive.
• Present Infrastructure is inadequate and
requires augmentation to support the
growth of Smart Grids.

17. CHALLENGES IN ADOPTING SMART
GRID:
• Costly
• Complicated structure
• Gain control of meters
• Security and privacy
• Hacker
• Power theft

19. STILL, WHY SMART GRID??

20. • Energy crisis
• Necessity to integrate our sources
• Power management
• Smart tariff
• Access to the information of real time usage
• Two way monitoring, transparent billing system
• Improvements can be made
• Smarter, faster, future

21. SMART GRIDS IMPLEMENTED SO
FAR:
• Glendale water and power
• Burbank water and meter
• Rock hill utilities
• United Arab Emirates
• Avista

22. Smart home, smart meter,
smart city- overall, a smart
system is going to be the
reality in recent future.

23. “Our brains make the world
smart, so we can be dumb
in peace.”

25. Change is not
coming. Change is
here.
