  29. SmartGrids VisionHow will the future grid look like? Can we manage by stretching the current 380 kV grid to its limits? Or do we need a new overlay grid? “Stretching” was successful for trains Be aware of the “sailing ship syndrome”… We must accept the limits of today’s situation Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  30. SmartGrids Vision A renewed grid vision? 1956 2020-2050 1948 ? 1974 2008 Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

SmartGrids Vision DSO’s Security of supply Technology Standards Actions Smallscalegeneration SmartGrid Actions Actions Consumers Marketconsiderations Consumerchoice Actions Actions Regulations Reducedenvironmental impact Generators Communication Consumers TSO’s sustainable, economic and secure electricity supply Energy Awareness Innovation Self-healing Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  33. SmartGrids VisionKey Challenges • Strengthening the grid ensuring sufficient transmission capacity to interconnect energy resources, especially RES, across Europe • Moving offshore • Integrating intermittent generation • Preparing for electric vehicles • Enhancing intelligence of generation, demand and most notably in the grid • Communication between millions of parties in a single market • Developing decentralized architectures to enable smaller scale electricity supply systems to operate harmoniously • Activating consumers, with or without their own generation, to play an active role in the operation of the system Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  34. SmartGrids Vision Network companies Technology providers Researchers Energy service providers Regulators Governmental agencies Traders Users Generators Stakeholders Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  35. From passive towards active grids Integration of decentralized generation? • Passive grids = Fit and Forget • Fault Detection: power can come from any direction • Power Quality: responsibility? • Voltage Control: responsibility? • Grid Planning: deterministic peak planning, cfr ER P2/5 in UK  Significant grid problems at low levels of decentralized generation • Active grids • Normal operation • Curtailment of generation • Local power balance • Coordinated voltage control • Voltage regulators in-line • Fault situations Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  36. From passive towards active grids Active distribution system has three layers • Copper based energy infrastructure (electricity) • Communications layer • Software layer Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  37. From passive towards active gridsNew grid hierarchies Cell concept (Denmark) Hierarchical structure in the power system in which each cell coordinates local balance (market for DG), clears fault situations and communicates with other cells in energy trading Virtual Power Plants (VPP) Flexible representation of load & generation, acting as 1 entity towards DSO/TSO (Source: www.fenix-project.org) (Source: Risö) Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  38. Transmission system changes • CORESO • Central Western Europe • Development of market mechanisms • Strengthening security of supply Efficient and safe management of the electricity system requires means of coordination and organizational structures at this scale Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  39. Ancillary services of small generation units Ancillary services • Voltage support • Feeder/transformer congestion • Impact on T&D reinforcement deferral • Black start capability of local grids? By means of • Generation curtailment, • Generation dispatch, e.g. CHPs • Reactive power control • Demand control? • Storage? Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  40. Standardisationand interoperability • Lots of different standards exist • Overlapping scope and functionality: • Protocols for metering aspects, control-related or interaction • Information models for data exchange • Varying status: • De jure standards from established organizations (ISO, IEC, …) • De facto standards from alliances or user groups • Fully proprietary protocols • EC has acknowledged the need for harmonization • Mandate M/441 on smart metering assigned to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  41. Public Acceptancemuch more than technology… Smart Grids extend beyond networks and will embrace transport, the built environment, the behaviours and engagement of customers,and will need societal acceptance. Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  42. Public Acceptancemuch more than technology… Smart Grids will require Customer Acceptance and Participation in: ...Intelligent Appliances & Demand Response ...Smart metering with 2-way communications ...Micro-generation providing grid services Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  43. Public AcceptanceConsumer values • Services more fit to consumer’s expectations • More information about consumption • More awareness • Energy savings • Faster and more adequate metering and billing • Smarter appliances / homes Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  44. Public Acceptance • Privacy Issues • Unknown privacy implications • Who can access which data? cfr. April 2009: smart meter proposal in The Netherlandsrejecteddue to privacy concerns • Need for regulations and contractual arrangements • Security • Cyberattacks on the grid • Meter fraud • Dependability • Design enables self-healing and resilience Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  45. JobsDirect • In the electricity sector: • Direct utility SmartGrid • New ESCOs • Contractors • Installation accelerators • Service providers • SmartGrid equipment providers Ref. KEMA 13-01-2009 Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  46. JobsIndirect • Technologies dependent on SmartGrids • Renewable energy technology manufacturers • Distributed generation • CHP heat and electricity demand matching • PHEV • Charging cheaper when coordinated • Telecommunication sector Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  47. Jobs • Both high and lower skilled workers necessary • Installing smart meters • Keeping the lights on • Long term job growth • Classical energy companies • New business models • Rollout is a huge effort • Every home needs a meter • Each windmill must be connected Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  48. Current Status • Global recognition of the benefits towards implementation of Smart Grids for all actors • Widespread rollout of “Smart” is technically possible during the next decade • Complex and not fully clear how this evolution is going to take place in practice Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  49. Current Status • Large-scale deployment not yet happened, why not? Some reasons: • Limited pilot experiences so far • Limited statistical significance of the quantification of benefits achieved in these experiences • Uncertainties regarding the global investments • Key challenges for the Smart Grid deployment: • Largely of regulatory nature • To a lesser extent influenced by research and development issues and by a lack of suitable demonstration pilot projects Ronnie.Belmans@esat.kuleuven.be

  50. What are the Elements for Success? 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@esat.kuleuven.be
