The document discusses smart grids, which use digital technology to allow two-way communication between electricity suppliers and consumers. This allows utilities to remotely control appliances to save energy and reduce costs and outages. Key benefits are increased reliability, lower costs, and reduced emissions. Smart grids automate control of individual devices or millions of devices from a central location. They are needed due to increasing energy demand, limited resources, and reliability issues with traditional grids. Components include power infrastructure, communication infrastructure, and markets and operations systems that allow two-way electricity and information flows.

2. WHAT IS SMART GRID?
 In definition, Smart Grid is a form of electricity network
utilizing digital technology.
 Its connects between suppliers, distributors and
consumers.
 Its delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using
two-way digital communications to control appliances at
consumers' homes; which in deed will saving the energy,
reduce costs and increase reliability.
 A key feature of the smart grid is automation technology
that lets the utility adjust and control each individual
device or millions of devices from a central location.

3. NEED OF SMART POWER GRID
 Increasing population and energy demand.
 Exhausting non- renewable energy resources.
 Non- reliability of traditional power supply &
Domino Effect .
 Negative effect of emissions from present
power generators on environment.

6. CONCEPT OF SMART GRID
 The basic concept of Smart Grid is to add
monitoring, analysis, control, and
communication capabilities to the
national electricity delivery system.
 This in turn can maximize the output of
equipment, help utilities lower costs,
improve reliability, decrease
interruptions, and reduce energy
consumption.

8. THE FUNCTIONALITY OF SMART GRID
 A Smart Grid must functions as followings
 Be able to heal itself
 Motivate consumers to actively participate in operations
of the grid
 Resist attack
 Accommodate all energy generation and storage options
 High quality power
 Optimize asset to run more efficiently
 Enable high penetration of intermittent generation
sources

 Provides a stand-alone power option.
 Provides customers a choice in satisfying their particular
energy needs.

11. National benefits
 Reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
 Responds to increasing energy demands.
 Responds to pollutant emission concerns.
 Provides low-cost, reliable energy essential to maintain
competitiveness in the world market.
 Creates numerous job opportunities.

12. Problems of Indian Power Grid
 * Poorly planned Distributed network
 * Over loading of system components
 * Lack of reactive power support & regulation services
 * Low metering efficiency & bill collection
 * Power theft

13. Prospects of Smart Grid in
India
 Smart grid implementation across India could
reduce transmission and distribution losses by
up to 30%.
 Minimize the need for increased generation
capacity
 Greater utilization of renewable and
decentralized sources of energy generation.
