  1. SmartGrids Grids: where power meets intelligence Ronnie Belmans K.U.Leuven, Belgium ronnie.belmans @ esat. Kuleuven .be Workshop 4Brabant.eu, 30 September 2010

  2. Agenda SmartGrids Vision: an evolution leading to a revolutionary result The grid in transition Enabling technologies Need for RD&D SmartGrids Platform

  3. SmartGrids Vision Drivers towards SmartGrids Primary Energy Sources Regulation of Monopolies Reliability and Quality Innovation and Competitiveness Security of Supply Internal Market Capacity Low Prices And Efficiency Environment Climate Change Kyoto and Post-Kyoto Nature Preservation

  4. SmartGrids Vision Why SmartGrids? Interoperable European Electricity Networks Networks renewal Liberalised markets User-centric Stakeholder ownership Environmental policy Distributed and central generation Demand response

  5. SmartGrids Vision End user real time Information & participation Multi-directional ‘flows’ Seamless integration of new applications Central & dispersed intelligence Smart materials and power electronics Central & dispersed sources

  6. SmartGrids Vision Provide power quality for the 21st Century Operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster Enable active customer participation Anticipate and respond to system disturbances (self-heal) Enable new products services and markets Accommodate all generation and storage options Optimise assets and operate efficiently Enable fundamental changes in Transport and Buildings (Source: SmartGridNews.com)

  7. SmartGrids Vision

  8. SmartGrids Vision losses management & rewards “an RTU at every service head” intelligent demand control in emergencies the portal to demand & micro-gen services moving consumption operational visibility of local networks new services to delight customers…. load-limiting & remote disconnection a smart metering revolution? a networks perspective

  9. SmartGrids Vision New roles for Network Co’s Energy Storage Grid Infeed SS Integrator Optimiser Aggregator • Manage constraints and minimise losses • Utilise smart meter data • Manage asset condition / predict failure events • Intelligent demand management in emergencies • Energy efficiency • Customer overall particip. • Customer micro-gen types • Heat networks • Carrier communications • Aggregator and manager of dispersed power sources • Aggregator and manager of ancillary services for local network and the grid (Source: EON Central Networks)

  10. SmartGrids Vision What is a SmartGrid? A SmartGrid is an electricity network that can intelligently integrate the actions of all users connected to it - generators, consumers and those that do both – in order to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity supplies. A SmartGrid employs innovative products and services together with intelligent monitoring, control, communication, and self-healing technologies to: • better facilitate the connection and operation of generators of all sizes and technologies; • allow consumers to play a part in optimizing the operation of the system; • provide consumers with greater information and choice of supply; • significantly reduce the environmental impact of the whole electricity supply system; • deliver enhanced levels of reliability and security of supply. SmartGrids deployment must include not only technology, market and commercial considerations, environmental impact, regulatory framework, standardization usage, ICT (Information & Communication Technology) and migration strategy but also societal requirements and governmental edicts.

  11. From passive towards active grids Active distribution system has three layers • Copper based energy infrastructure (electricity) • Optimized topology • Power electronic devices • Communications layer • requirements of speed, quality, reliability, dependability with costs • different communication technologies at the same time • Software layer • multiple software functions for normal operation: doing locally and independently the maximum number of functions, reporting/requesting from the upper level the minimum possible information necessary • network reconfiguration • self-healing procedures • fault management • forecasting, modeling and planning.

  12. From passive towards active gridsNew grid hierarchies • Local balance between energy (heat/electricity) generation and load, at the level of • A single customer • An industrial/commercial complex • A distribution grid subsystem Microgrids (Source: IEEE 1547)

  13. From passive towards active gridsNew grid hierarchies Cell concept (Denmark) Hierarchical structure in the power system in which each cell coordinates local balance (market for DG), clears fault situations and communicates with other cells in energy trading Virtual Power Plants (VPP) Flexible representation of load & generation, acting as 1 entity towards DSO/TSO (Source: www.fenix-project.org) (Source: Risö)

  20. General Context EIT & KIC InnoEnergy Integrating the “knowledge triangle” A new collaboration model promoting cross-national, cross-sectoral and cross-disciplinary approaches to knowledge sharing and transfer for excellence in innovation. For the first time, higher education will interact on an equal footing with other partners.

  21. General Context EIT & KIC InnoEnergy http://www.innoenergy-initiative.com/ The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has designated the InnoEnergy consortium as one of its first 3 KICs (Knowledge and Innovation Communities) . InnoEnergy's partners are KULeuven, VITO, the Technical University Eindhoven, TNO and Eandis. InnoEnergy will combine the knowledge and experience of business, research and education for the development of intelligent energy efficient buildings and cities.

  24. VSGP (Vlaams Smart Grid Platform) The Flemish Smart Grid Platform focuses on the development of smart grids in Flanders and to this purpose brings together all relevant parties from business, research and government.Its mission is to develop a fully operational test infrastructure for smart grids in Flanders by 2012.The platform comprises working groups on grid intelligence, in home intelligence and grid connected vehicles.

  25. Flemish SmartGrids Platformsmartgrid.be • research institutes • industrial partners • Eandis (DSO) • Infrax (DSO) • Alcatel – Lucent (Telecom) • Belgacom (Telecom) • Telenet (Telecom) • Laborelec (Engineering) • Niko (Electronic equipment & domotica) • >80 companies showed interest • LINEAR+ project (Generaties, 10 M€ funding)

  26. Conclusion:Action now! and beyond 2050 targets REQUIRES research for tomorrow’s technologies 2020 targets REQUIRE development of today’s technologies REQUIRE application of today’s technologies These actions must be put in hand NOW Ronnie Belmans – eMobility – September 2010, Venice
