  3. A Smart Grid: Makes use of communications, computing and power electronics to create a system that is: Self-Healing and Adaptive Interactive with consumers and markets Optimized to make best use of resources and equipment Predictive rather than reactive, to prevent emergencies Distributed across geographical and organizational boundaries Integrated, merging monitoring, control, protection, maintenance, EMS, DMS, marketing, and IT More Securefrom attack

  4. Merging Two Infrastructures Electrical Infrastructure “Intelligence” Infrastructure

  5. The Smart Grid

  6. Smart Grid Applications Real-time Simulation and Contingency Analysis Distributed Generation and Alternate Energy Sources Self-Healing Wide-Area Protection and Islanding Asset Management and On-Line Equipment Monitoring Demand Response and Dynamic Pricing Participation in Energy Markets Shared Information – Continuously Optimizing – Intelligent Responses!

  7. What is the Smart Grid – EISA 2007 The term Smart Grid Functions shall include: Ability to store, send and receive digital information through a combination of devices Ability to do same to or from a computer or control device Ability to measure and monitor as a function of time of day, power quality, source and type of generation, etc Ability to sense disruptions in power flows and communicate on such instantaneously Ability to detect, respond to, recover, etc relative to security threats Ability of appliances and equipment to respond without human intervention Ability to use digital information for grid operations that were previously electromechanical or manual Ability to use digital controls to manage demand, congestion, and provide ancillary services

  8. How is the Smart Grid Created? The smart grid is not created all at once – it will evolve over many years from today’s infrastructure through the deployment and integration of Intelligent Systems

  9. The Approach Start with existing systems Progressively link them together Add new knowledge and technologies to create NEW intelligent systems with Wider scope Greater ability to adapt Capabilities not originally forseen
