Smart Distribution Grid – and How to Reach the Goal

S N Saxena

Abstract


The paper “reviews†different aspects of a “Smart Distribution Gridâ€, which the planning and operation engineers of a distribution company must know to make the distribution area “Smartâ€. First, it is proposed to explain the problems being faced when planning new power stations or new transmission lines and the reasons why it has become necessary for the power system engineers to request the distribution engineers to give increased emphasis on demand-response and demand-side management. Then, the paper gives the necessity of educating domestic, commercial and industrial consumers and also the distribution engineers about the energy conservation. Finally, the paper discusses the essential technological requirements of a smart grid, which are: “Smart Metersâ€, “Information and Communication Technologyâ€, “Distributed Generation†and “Battery Energy Storageâ€. The paper ends with a brief description of developments of smart grids in India.

Keywords
