  1. SmartGrids A key step in the third industrial revolution Ronnie Belmans KatholiekeUniversiteit Leuven, Belgium ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  2. Presentation Objectives Energy in the environment: local approach Energy sources, free humans of the local availability and of time: James Watt, first industrial revolution Using all energy available and bringing it to the user: Faraday, Maxwell, electricity, second industrial revolution Harvesting energy, a greenhouse gas free supply: Einstein, Bequerrel, electricity again, third industrial revolution Ronnie Belmans (ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be) 2

  3. Technical, legal and economic challenges Still… new generation paradigms & ageing assets pose a serious challenge… (Source: National Academy of Engineering) Technical miracles of the 20th century Electrification Automobile Airplane Safe and Abundant Water Electronics Radio and Television Agricultural Mechanization Computers Telephone Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Interstate Highways Space Exploration Internet Imaging Technologies Household Appliances Health Technologies Petroleum and Gas Technologies Laser and Fiber Optics Nuclear Technologies High Performance Materials Ronnie Belmans (ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be) 3

  4. Challenges for 2020 and beyond Micro- generation in millions of homes ? 50GW of wind power in the North ? Smart Gridswill be needed to ensure supply security, connect and operate cleanand sustainable energy, and give value for money Customer Interaction and Intelligent Appliances plus wind variation / cloud cover / customer choice… 30GW of solar power in the South ? New DC Links and Interconnections Ronnie Belmans (ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be) 4

  5. SmartGrids Vision Driving factors 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 Ronnie Belmans (ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be) 5

  6. SmartGrids Vision Network companies Technology providers Researchers Energy service providers Regulators Governmental agencies Traders Users Generators Stakeholders Ronnie Belmans (ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be) 6

  7. SmartGrids Vision End user real time Information & participation Multi-directional ‘flows’ Seamless integration of new applications Central & dispersed intelligence Central & dispersed sources Smart materials and power electronics Ronnie Belmans (ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be) 7

  8. 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) Ronnie Belmans (ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be) 8

  9. New generation paradigm “Fresh breeze” means somewhere between 200 and 1,600 MW  A deviation of just +/ 1 m/s may have an impact of +/ 320 MW (with a 2,374 MW installed base) Importance of adequate forecasting and control tools !! Ronnie Belmans (ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be) 9

  10. 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 (ronnie.belmans@esat.kuleuven.be) 10

  11. With and without SmartGrids SmartGrid Vision Future Today Input AC needed; show the what is happening

  12. Future urban view

  13. Future European view
