  1. Smart Grids:Ireland’s Unique Opportunity Doireann Barry, Smart Grid Programme Manager

  2. Power SystemsIreland & Northern Ireland Transmission System Operator, Ireland Transmission System Operator, Northern Ireland Wholesale Electricity Market Operator, Ireland & Northern Ireland

  3. European Targets Ireland has ambitious targets for renewables, particularly wind * Based on analysis of National Renewable Action Plans (NREAPs) as submitted by Member States

  4. World-leading RES integration today… December 2013 – Real-time Renewables Integration

  5. Challenges • System Stability • Resource Variability • New connections • Changes in power flows • Consumer Participation Smart Grids 1 but there are challenges… Facilitating up to 75% Renewables in real-time requires change Demand Side Management(DSM) 2

  6. Solving these new challenges… Smart Grid Technology 1 DS3 DS3 Shaping the Power System of the Future Smart Grid Technology

  7. Work with the System Operators to demonstrate new Smart Grid concepts: …..and working with participants Smart Grid Innovation Hub 1 Demonstration Projects Demonstration Projects Smart Grid Innovation Hub From concept to commercialisation…. Enernet (Aggregating Storage & response from Home Heating) Demo Projects Superconducting Fault Current Limiter

  8. Demand Side Management 2 Changing energy consumption to deliver benefits System Operator Benefit Consumer Benefit Reduced bills Greater control over and engagement with the energy they produce and consume • Greater accommodation of variable RES • Reduced system / consumption costs

  9. The future in Europe…. 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050

  10. Commercial opportunities for Smart Grids • ICT • Data Management • Data Analytics • Real-time Control systems • Communications systems • Decision Support systems • Operations Management systems • Payment systems • SCADA systems • Sensors • Cyber Security • System Level • Energy Arbitrage – DSM, flexible generation, storage • System Service provision to the TSO/ DSO - on-site technology, DSM, generation • Forecasting – Demand & Renewables • Smart Distribution Systems & Active Networks • Smart Transmission Technology • Site Level • Hybrid sites for energy & system services – battery/ flywheel • Data Centre Energy management • Microgrids • VPP/ Tidal/ Ocean/ PV / Micro CHP • Smart Power Management for curtailment mitigation • Electric Vehicles & EV support services • Consumer Level • Energy Management services • Home automation systems • Smart Metering services • Smart Home Hubs • Apps/ TV/ PC/ In-home display • Micro gen/ PV/ Heat Pumps • Intelligent electronic devices

  11. Why now? • Our experience can be leveraged on a European & global scale Demonstrate Sustainable Energy Systems in Ireland – Deploy at scale elsewhere
