The “Smart Grid” is often described as the “Internet for Electricity” in which will
modernize our aging electricity distribution grids with the goals of reducing excess
energy and incorporating renewable energy sources. Numerous factors are forcing
the outdated energy distribution grids around the world to become ‘smarter’, from
rising energy costs to environmental concerns. That said, three challenges remain:
1) absence of bold incentives as utilities struggle with their return on investment
case, 2) unclear regulatory guidelines, and 3) a lack of standards and international
harmonization.
We cannot achieve significant poverty reduction without stimulating electricity consumption, which fuels income-generating activities in the modern economy. In India, about 237 million people have little or no access to reliable electricity -- more than 90% of them live in rural areas. This severely constrains economic opportunities. Addressing this chronic problem requires going beyond simply expanding the government grid.
Mini-grids have emerged as a viable solution to complement and integrate with the national grid, and can support the government in achieving its ‘Power for All’ vision. The Rockefeller Foundation’s Smart Power for Rural Development (SPRD) initiative is the first to pursue the creation of a mini-grid sector that is robust enough to fuel commercial enterprises and drive economic development beyond just one village. Smart Power India (SPI), which leads the SPRD initiative in India, has proven that mini-grids can be swiftly deployed to deliver reliable power, and has likewise demonstrated that mini-grids can spur economic activity needed to help people lift themselves out of poverty.
This issue of Smart Power Connect, published after the hundredth village was connected to Smart Power, explores the efforts, success stories, and challenges faced in SPI’s mini-grid journey to date. With insights from government agencies, policy experts, energy service companies, investors and mini-grid customers themselves, this publication provides a glimpse into the potential of the mini-grids to transform the energy sector – and how rural communities are embracing and utilizing clean, reliable and adequate power to improve their lives.
The document summarizes an approach to smart grid pilots presented at an international conference on the roadmap for smart grids. It discusses the drivers for smart grids including increasing energy demand and sustainability concerns. It defines smart grids as digital, self-healing energy systems capable of optimizing power delivery and facilitating two-way information and power flows. The need for pilot projects to test technologies, business models and regulatory aspects before full deployment is explained. Different types of pilots including generation, transmission, distribution and utilization are proposed along with their objectives and benefits.

2) The government has launched initiatives like the Smart Grid Task Force and R-APDRP program to invest in new technologies and reform the grid.
3) Several smart grid pilot projects are underway across the country with government and private sector participation. Zpryme forecasts the Indian smart grid market will reach $1.9 billion by 2015.
China has become the largest market for power transmission and distribution in the world. It is committed to reducing carbon intensity and increasing renewable energy use, which will require massive smart grid investment to manage intermittent renewable sources and growing electricity demand from urbanization and electric vehicles. China has a unique opportunity to develop the smart grid due to its large state-owned grid operators, potential for low-cost equipment manufacturing, ability to standardize nationally, and centralized government leadership. However, the government must provide supportive policies, and grid operators must establish effective standards to fully realize this opportunity.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
