Why Smart Grid?
As the world’s electricity systems face a number of challenges such as New dynamics of future demand and supply Ageing infrastructure Complex interconnected grids Integration of large number of renewable generation sources Need to lower carbon emissions New type of loads such as Electric Vehicles

Definition
A Smart Grid is self-healing, enables active participation of consumers,operate resiliently against attack and natural disasters, accommodate allgeneration and storage options, enable introduction of new products,services and markets, optimize asset utilization and operate efficiently,provide power quality for the digital economy.

A Smart Grid is an electricity network that can intelligently integratethe actions of all users connected to it – generators, consumers andthose that do both – in order to efficiently deliver sustainable, economicand secure electricity supplies.

Evolution of grid design :From traditional to future grids
Centralized power generation One-directional power flow Generation follows load Operation based on historical experience Limited grid accessibility for new
producers (Source: ABB Smart grid)
Centralized and distributed power generation
Intermittent renewable power generation Consumers become also producers Multi-directional power flow Load adapted to production Operation based more on real-time data

Distribution
Distribution Domain
Distributes the electricityto and from the endcustomers
Connects the smartmeters and all intelligentfield devices, managingand controlling themthrough a two-waywireless or wire linecommunications network.
It may also connect toenergy storage facilitiesand alternative distributedenergy resources at thedistribution level.
8
Customer The end-users of electricity Connected to the electric
distribution network throughthe smart meters.
The smart meters control andmanage the flow of electricityto and from the customers andprovide energy informationabout energy usage andpatterns.
Each customer has a discretedomain comprised ofelectricity premise and two-way communicationsnetworks.
A customer domain may alsogenerate, store and manage theuse of energy, as well as theconnectivity with plug-invehicles.
Customer Domain
9
Operations Manages and controls the
electricity flow of all otherdomains in the smart grid.
It uses a two-waycommunications networkto connect to substations,customer premisesnetworks and otherintelligent field devices.
It provides monitoring,reporting, controlling andsupervision status andimportant processinformation and decisions.
Business intelligenceprocesses gather data fromthe customer and network,and provide intelligence tosupport the decision-making.
Operations Domain10
Markets The Markets domain operates
and coordinates all theparticipants in electricitymarkets within the smart grid.
It provides the marketmanagement, wholesaling,retailing and trading of energyservices. The Markets domaininterfaces with all otherdomains and makes sure theyare coordinated in a competitivemarket environment.
It also handles energyinformation clearinghouseoperations and informationexchange with third-partyservice providers.
For example, roaming billinginformation for inter-utilityplug-in-vehicles falls under thisdomain.
Markets Domain11
Service Provider
Smart grid handles all third-party operations among thedomains.
These might include webportals that provide energyefficiency managementservices to end-customers,data exchange between thecustomer and the utilitiesregarding energymanagement, and regardingthe electricity supplied tohomes and buildings.
It may also manage otherprocesses for the utilities, suchas demand response programs,outage management and fieldservices.
Service Provider Domain12
WAMS-Definition
It’s a collective technology to monitor power systemdynamics in real time, identify system stability relatedweakness and helps to design and implement countermeasures.(IEEE)
It is based on Phasor measurement units(PMUs) whichcan deliver precisely time synchronized values of voltageand current phasors and other power system relatedquantities like frequency, ROCOF, breaker positions.
15
Components of WAMS
Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC) Global Positioning System (GPS for Time
Synchronization of the phasors) Communication channel (Preferably optical fiber cable) Visualization and analysis tools Wide area situational awareness system. Wide area protection and control
16
Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)
The Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is a Power Systemdevice capable of measuring the synchronized voltage andcurrent Phasor in a Power System.Synchronicity among Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs)
is achieved by same-time sampling of voltage and currentwaveforms using a common synchronizing signal fromthe global positioning satellite (GPS).The ability to calculate synchronized phasors makes the
PMU one of the most important measuring devices in thefuture of power system monitoring and control.

Key advantages for Phasor deployment ...
Accurate phase angle measurements independent of frequency variations
Real time synchronized differencesWide area protection Improve grid stability/reliability Minimize transmission congestion Optimize transmission capacity Forecasting grid instability and early warning to prevent
blackouts and cascade collapse

PMU Applications
Oscillation detectionFault location identificationFault classificationEvent analysisModel validationSituational awareness
21
Oscillations seen by PMU• SCADA measurements cannot see most oscillation Worse – they can
give misleading impression• Synchro-phasors are needed to observe oscillations because of faster
data sampling, greater data resolution, and wide-area synchronization
