The Smart Grid
“A Smart Grid is an electricity
network that can intelligently
integrate the actions of all users
connected to it – generators,
consumers and those that do both
– in order to efficiently deliver
sustainable, economic and secure
electricity supplies” – European
Technology Platform Smart Grid
(ETPSG)
NIST Conceptual Reference Model
So the Smart Grid...,
1. Uses Information Technology to
improve how electricity travels
from power plants to consumers
2. Allows consumers to interact with
the grid
3. Integrates new and improved
technology into grid operation
4. Significantly increases the
efficiency of the entire electrical
delivery system
5. Reduces energy usage in the
delivery process and greenhouse
gas emissions NIST Conceptual Reference Model

Editor's Notes

  1. Pertains to the application of technology to energy networks so that networks can run more intelligently and efficiently. The SMART GRID is a game changer and will ultimately result in growth in any country. It creates serveral new opportunities and streams in
  2. The Electric Delivery System is still a Grid that needs management and Control. Transmission Optimization include: Improving Engineering Analysis, Decision Making & Control Minimize RE impact Generation Dispatch Optimization Increase Transmission Capacity System Stability – Oscillations/Early Detection Asset Optimization includes: Reduction of Outages due to primary equipment failures Extend Asset Life Cycle through early detection of faults or abnormal operation Demand Optimization: Demand peak Reduction Fill up Generation Gaps – DG CO2 Reduction Peak Shifting – smoothing Loss Reduction Distribution Optimization: Power Quality Reduction of Outages due to primary equipment failures Improve SAIDI/SAIFI Losses Reduction Some examples of an objective function are: Reduction of System Losses Minimize Production Costs Improved Billed Sales Increase customer participation – EE, DG & DR Improve Power Quality
  3. Use case of Demand Response: In the Generation & Transmission Ops a shortfall is predicted based on the Load Forecast The Demand Management/Resource Scheduler App will interact with the Demand Response App in the ADMS The DR app will request from the customer to shift their demand by control signals sent to the meter in the Home Area Network The response will send real time feedback to all the systems in the operations and the objective function satisfied.

  5. The integration challenges are taken in the context of other solutions that are available, some which are soft and already available..
  6. Siting of VRR are often times located at a significant distances from load centres. Cost of new transmission or limits on existing lines may pose challenges to additional VRR generation. Smart grid technologies, especially advanced transmission and substation technologies, can aid in this challenge by increasing transmission line capacity, reducing system losses, and improving voltage and frequency control
  7. System operators “ramp” the output of generators in response to the demand for electricity, a vital grid function known as “load-following.” Conventional ramping is normally due to fluctuations in electricity demand, high penetration of VRR adds a new variability to this convention and the unique patterns present different ramping challenges. High Penetration Solar requires daily (morning and evening) ramping as well as cloud cover changes. Wind Power generally increases during the day and dies down in the evening, but has less predictable up-and-down-ramping requirements
  8. High-Penetrations of Solar present integration challenges, the passage of clouds over PV panels can result in output changes of +/- 50% in 60 seconds and +/- 70% in 10 minutes. Rooftop or utility-scale PV connected directly to the distribution system can introduce voltage challenges. Quick variations from inverter-based generation can impact the voltage to customers if adequate voltage regulation is absent. Siting of a single large solar installation at the end of a distribution feeder can strain the entire voltage regulation scheme. Generally, the Response-Time for Voltage Regulation is critical.
  9. Over-generation typically occurs when VRR generation is high, loads are relatively low, and there is a significant share of non-dispatchable and baseload conventional generation on the grid The challenge is more common with wind generation in low-load situations
  10. There are several time scales observable in the natural intermittent and periodic generation profiles of JPS’ current renewable generation energy mix (September – December 2016) • Short term, 1-2 second basis, +/- 3 MW (RMS-like fluctuations) • Causes: gusty winds; partial cloud cover • Medium term, 1-30 minute basis, steady ramp-down-from OR ramp-up-to capacity, ramps ranging from 1 to 10 MW/min • Causes: subsiding/increasing wind; heavy intermittent cloud cover • Long term, over 24 hours • Cause: natural diurnal variation of wind and solar resources Medium-term down-ramps appear to be the most commonly observed renewable-generation characteristic preceding an under-frequency load shed event (wind and solar)
  11. The Jamaican Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy, and Mining (MSTEM) has initiated an Energy Security and Efficiency Enhancement Project, which has been designed to support the implementation of the Government of Jamaica’s (GoJ) National Energy Policy (NEP) covering 2009 through 2030. The project will develop a Smart Energy Roadmap, representing the key initial step in moving Jamaica’s energy objectives forward. The Smart Energy Roadmap will address four priority areas, all of which are intended to begin to reduce Jamaica’s energy cost and consumption with the application of leading information technology and best practices implemented worldwide, within the context of the larger Smarter Energy Vision for Jamaica: <Back to Slide> As part of the Smart Energy Roadmap effort, IBM was engaged to develop a Smart Grid Roadmap, which identifies, defines, and sequences smart grid initiatives to address Jamaica’s priorities and support Jamaica’s National Energy Policy. This final report represents the results from IBM’s work on the Smart Grid Roadmap Development project. The report defines a strategic roadmap of prioritized smart grid initiatives to address Jamaica’s priorities and challenges and provides details on the project’s purpose, global references, the project’s policy alignment, Jamaica’s smart grid baseline status, and proposed target capabilities incorporating the results of Jamaica’s Smart Grid Maturity Model assessment.
  12. The Smart Grid Maturity Model (SGMM) is a management tool which has become a standard to guide, appraise and improve a utility’s path toward smart grid transformation in multiple operational areas through defining specific levels of capabilities and desired results. It establishes a common framework and language, defining all the elements of a smart grid transformation in order to bridge gaps between strategy and execution that might exist.
  13. Strategy, Management and Regulation: This domain evaluates the degree to which management mechanisms are in place to guide and advance the smart grid program. A smart grid vision and strategy are an expected characteristic. Jamaica’s results reflect the lack of an explicit smart grid vision and strategy for Jamaica. Organization and Structure: This domain evaluates the structure, culture, and communications in place to support a smart grid transformation. Key characteristics in this domain relate to an organizational structure, policies, and processes to promote and reward cross functional planning, design, and operations. JPS’s actions to support smart grid technologies through assigning budget and resources (e.g., Residential Automated Metering Infrastructure program and grid automation pilots) are the reason for achieving Level 1 maturity. Grid Operations: This domain covers advanced grid observability and grid control. Jamaica is designated Level 1 due to the initial steps taken evaluating distribution network observability (e.g., the Power Quality meter trial on distribution feeders) and automation technologies (e.g., smart switch deployment). Work & Asset Management: This domain measures the degree to which asset operation incorporates fact-based performance data, enabling the evolution from reactive to predictive maintenance and the more efficient use of resources. Although not reflected in the current state assessment, the designation of an asset management department and developing plans for an asset management solution will increase scores in this domain. Technology: This domain evaluates the information management capabilities present to connect and support the smart grid-enabled data sources and users. The alignment of JPS’ enterprise IT architecture to smart grid capabilities and incorporating smart grid-enabling applications in design considerations provided JPS with strong scores across maturity Levels 1, 2, and 3. Customer: This domain evaluates the degree to which customer are provided options and capabilities to manage their energy usage and costs. The existing smart meter program achieved many of the characteristics expected in Levels 1, 2, and 3 (e.g., remote connect/disconnect and provision of energy usage information). Value Chain Integration: This domain evaluates capabilities managing demand and a diverse set of supply resources beyond traditional boundaries (e.g., distributed energy resources provided by customers and other 3rd parties). JPS’s efforts to identify distributed generation sources and the capabilities to support them as well as the identification of security requirements to enable interaction with 3rd parties are represented by the progress to achieving Level 1 characteristics. Societal & Environmental: This domain covers conservation and green initiatives, sustainability, economics and the ability to integrate alternative and distributed energy. Energy efficiency programs and the provision of consumption data to customers through the Residential Automated Metering Infrastructure system provided Jamaica some progress in this domain.
