China’s Strong Smart Grid – An Area China Will Excel Presented at Harvard China Review Conference April 17, 2010 BGE January 4, 2008 ML Chan, PhD (mlchan@quanta-technology.com) Executive Advisor, Quanta Technology, LLC, USA (www.quanta-technology.com) Executive Director of Smart Grid, JUCCCE, China (www.juccce.com) November 2007
Smart Grid is …. • Overlay of Information Technology Infrastructure on Power Delivery Infrastructure to achieve: • System efficiency • Sustainability (green the grid) • Optimal utilization • Enhanced system reliability • Covers G, T, D and customer sectors • Not a set of shrink-wrapped solutions; unique to each utility
Smart Grid Business Drivers: New Business Environment SG Greenhouse Gases Operational Efficiency Aging Workforce Renewable Resources & EVs CARBON FOOTRPINT PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT Condition-Based Maintenance Demand Response RELIABILITY & QUALITY OF SUPPLY Aging Infrastructure Supply Reliability Power Quality
Drivers for China Smart Grid • Efficiency • Cost efficiency • Capacity credit (e.g., Peak demand management) • Operational efficiency (e.g., MDTs) • Energy efficiency • End-users • System • Carbon footprint reduction • Integration of wind and solar PV farms from remote • System reliability & integrity • Asset condition monitoring
China also desires to … • Bring renewable energy from wind and solar PV farms out in the west (Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia) to load centers; over 3000 km • Bring hydro energy far from the south to load centers • Bring thermal energy from afar to load centers • Implement rural electrification; Net Zero Energy Community is a good solution
China Smart Grid enables … • The integration of renewable resources, though utility scale • The efficient and reliable delivery of thermal, nuclear and hydro energy • Reliable and robust service • The integration of customer loads – Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Dispatchable DSM resources, though may take a long time before customers become true participants of the electricity market

Strong Smart Grid Initiative • Phase I (2009-2010) – Planning • Develop Smart Grid strategy and roadmap for deployment • Develop interoperability standards and performance requirements • Phase II (2011-2015) – Deployment • Deploy transmission system Smart Grid applications • Deploy distribution system Smart Grid applications • Deploy AMI systems • Phase III (2016-2020) – Upgrade & Enhancements • Upgrade and enhance installations
Status of China Strong & Smart Grid • Smart Grid strongly guided by the SGCC; planning, implementation, time schedule, demonstration sites • Initial focus on transmission system and control center systems • Will move down to distribution system and perhaps down to customer side; unlikely to go to Real-time Pricing • Will be vertically controlled by SGCC, including the vendor market
Status of China Strong & Smart Grid (cont’d) • Strictly adhere to SGCC schedule • 3 phases • 4 demo sites – Beijing, Hangzhou, Xiamen and Yinchuan(北京,杭州,厦门,银川) • 10+ demo city sites for about 2,000,000 AMI meters • Purchasing vendor companies (e.g., disconnect switches, transformer monitoring systems) • Building a reliable and robust transmission backbone infrastructure – UHV DC, Sychrophasors, etc.
Conclusions • Smart Grid enables the integration of supply resources and demand side resources • Implementation schedule focuses on supply resources and grid operations first, then eventually demand-side resources
