The document discusses smart grids, which overlay communication and control systems onto existing power infrastructure to optimize power supply, delivery, and efficiency. A smart grid aims to be self-healing, enable demand response, and provide power quality while empowering markets. It faces challenges of financial resources, policy support, and absorbing new technologies, but implementing it could make the power sector more efficient and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by lowering power consumption.

2. • Smart Grids are a process, not a product.
• May be best understood as the overlaying of
a unified communications and control system
on the existing power delivery infrastructure
• It is the electricity delivery system integrated
with communication and information
technology.
What exactly Smart Grid is?

3. • It provide right information to right entity
the right time to take right action
• It is a system that optimizes power supply
and delivery, minimizes losses, is self-healing,
and enables next-generation energy
efficiency and demand response
applications.

4. Smart Grid Concept

5. OBJECTIVE OF SMART GRID
To support the modernization of the Nation's
electricity transmission and distribution system.

6. Typical components of a Smart Grid
system
• Smart Power Meters
• Smart Substations
• Smart distribution
• Smart generation

8. A Smart Grid will exhibit key
characteristics:
• Self-healing and resilient
• Asset optimization and operational efficiency
• Enable demand response
• Power quality
• Market empowerment

9. Engineering Economics and Financial
Benefits of Smart Grid
• Optimizing the value of existing
production & transmission capacity.
• Improvement in energy efficiency.
• Improving assets and overall production.

10. Challenges for Smart Grid
• Financial resources
• Government support
• Compatible equipment
• Lack of policy and regulation
• Capacity to absorb advanced technology

11. If Smart Gird is implemented then:
• Our power sector can become more efficient,
reliable, adaptive and smarter.
• Consumer, Companies &Communities save
power and money.
• And ultimately this would result in lower level of
Green House effects because of reduced
emission Green House gases.
