Standards, Pilots and Institutional Framework

1. Standards, Pilots and Institutional Framework KumudWadhwa ISGTF Secretariat

2. Smart Grid

3. Smart Grid Pilots Work Center IT Systems • Major Components • Field Devices • Renewable Integration • Data Acquisition • Communication • Data Management • Analytics • Control Communications Network Smart grid is a holistic approach towards finer control of load to match generation that includes renewable energy Require knowledge of information technology and communication besides domain knowledge

4. Smart Grid Pilots in India MoP – Ministry of Power PQM- Power quality management AMI- Advanced metering infrastructure OM- Outage management PLM- Peak load management Enables the availability of consumer energy usage data --- MoP Approved Smart Grid Pilots • Smart Grid initiatives started at various Energy Distribution Utilities • Smart Grid pilots sanctioned (MoP)- 14 • AMI is the functionality opted by • most of the utilities

5. Standards Evolution … Telecom sector 1984 1990-2000 2000-2005 2005-2013 20## timeline Entry & competition b/w Handsets manufacturers started private sector entry in telecom Equipment manufacturing Mandatory network protocol testing+ interoperability b/w handsets standards evolution for newly identified requirements National Telecom Policy + TRAI established+ Pvt. (mobile) brands entry Electricity Worldwide 1948 1964 1992 2011 20## timeline IEC into active standards development Dev./maturity of smart grid data standards like OpenADR, GREEN BUTTON etc., Dev. of Power System data standards like MultiSpeak, CIM, etc standards evolution for newly identified Grid requirements IEEE started the power system Standards development Electricity in India 1990-2005 2008 2013 20## 1986 timeline ? ? standards preparation for smart grids 18446 Standards formulated by BIS BIS established by GoI Actively associated With many International bodies Draft of PS data standards released ?

6. Standards to Spur Innovation: A worth mention case • GREEN BUTTON in other places – • Canada • Europe • Countries to follow: • Australia • China • Japan • Korea • Indonesia What will be a use case to spur innovation in India? What data can be made as an open standard? GREEN BUTTON available to 3,57,10,000 (as of June 2012) customers Ref: http://en.openei.org/wiki/Green_Button

7. Few Thoughts • Need to keep a balance between Standardisation vs. Innovation • Following Maslow’s Law of NEEDS try to address mandatory things first • Try to identify what is mandatory and what is desirable • Priority for AMI solution should be data reliability, availability and security • Smart Meter interoperability can get evolved based on Market forces as was the case for Reliance handset that was required for Reliance CDMA network in initial years • Transparency and Good Governance can help to identify suitable partners and not just owners and suppliers. • As the field is evolving we can learn from each other thru Collaboration- INDIA SMART GRID KNOWLEDGE PORTAL to be fully used

8. Institutional Framework • a long-term transition towards a more distributed and sustainable system of energy production and consumption. • as Smart Grid is going to connect all domains of Power Sector(Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Consumption/Regulation)for information exchange and control we need to look for an institution that is a bridge for these silos but with adequate expertise from each domain • transition process is not a matter of few years but most likely of decades • technologies need to co-evolve with institutional changes - changes in process and people practices • requires complete research for Organisation Structure and Design –Organic structure.. Mechanistic structure… Virtual Teams

9. Identification and removal of regulatory barriers, innovation-friendly rules, flexibility that bridge the “cultural divide” between research traditions in technology development and governance • Three functional levels:, “Niche”, “Regime” and Landscape”. • A regime can be understood as a particular set of practices, rules and shared values, which dominate the system and its actors. • Regional pilot projects for smart grids can be considered as “niche” activities which might lead to a regime change and the possibility of the diffusion of such niches into mainstream of the energy system. “Landscape” describes the exogenous environment of the system. • Interactions between the internal regime dynamics, wider landscape factors and niche alternatives tend to destabilize the present regime and may give rise to a new regime. .

10. Envisaged Framework Ministry of Power (MoP) How to Increase understanding among a range of stakeholders of the nature, function, costs and benefits of smart grids? Approvals Standards recommendations and preparation ISGTF Proposals for effective SG deployments BIS, LTTD How to Identify the most important actions required to develop smart grid technologies? Policy recommendations Guidelines/ Approvals ISGF What is the scope to understand and model the changing roles, influences and opportunities of large and small ‘actors’ in the dynamics of transitions?
