An Overview of the Smart GridInteroperability from the generator to the customer
Conventional and Renewable Generation with Storage
Transmission Distribution
OperationsCustomers
Substations
Self healing, more reliable, safer, and flexible
Enable customers to become “active”participants in the
energy supply chain to better manage energy
consumption
Integrate and manage new sources of renewable and
distributed energy supply
Automatically monitor, assess, and control the
grid to adapt to changing conditions to
meet customer reliability and power quality requirements
Improve capital efficiency using better
intelligence and technology to optimize system planning and
improve asset throughput
Maximize workforce productivity,
effectiveness, and safety through
application of enabling tools and technologies
Strategic Objectives
• Provide real-time information and response capabilities to enable customers to adjust and manage their energy use to changing grid conditions
• Enable the grid to automatically adjust to changing customer loads and supply requirements
• Prevent catastrophic bulk power system failures
• Minimize service disruptions due to distribution system failure
• Provide timely and accurate information about service issues
• Increase power throughput on transmission & distribution assets
• Improve capital efficiency through condition-based maintenance/replacement
• Use better info on load and grid operating performance to improve system planning
• Use advanced visualization and control systems to support and automate decision-making
• Use emerging field technologies to improve crew safety and efficiency
