SMART GRID TECHNOLOGY

                   SMART GRID TECHNOLOGY

 WHAT IS SMART GRID TECHNOLOGY?

SMART GRID IS AN ELECTRIC GRID THAT USES INFORMATION, AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY TO GATHER DATA AND ACT ON INFORMATION ABOUT THE BEHAVIOUR OF SUPPLIERS AND THE CONSUMERS IN AN AUTOMATED MANNER.

ADVANTAGES OF SMART FRID TECHNOLOGY

1. ENERGY SAVING BY REDUCING CONSUMPTION.

2. INCREASE COMPETITION 

3. REDUCE PLANT RESERVE CAPACITY.

WHAT DO MEAN BY THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SMART GRID TECHNOLOGY?

1. IT IS AN INTEGRATION OF A MORE MORDEN ELECTRIC GRID WITH COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS TO BETTER MONITOR AND CONTROL OF THE FLOW AND CONSUMPTION OF ENERGY.

2. TENDS TO SAVE ENERGY.

3. REDUCE THE COST 

4. HELP IN INCREASE WITH THE RELIABILITY

WHAT ARE THE BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF AN IDEAL SMART GRID?

1. IT USED TO PROVIDE POWER QUALITY OF THE  ELECTRICITY SUPPLY TO ACCOMMODATE SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT THAT ENHANCES WITH THE DIGITAL ECONOMY.

2. IT USED TO OPTIMIZE AND EFFICIENTLY OPERATES THE SMART GRID WITH SMART TECHNOLOGY.

3. IT ALSO USED TO ACCOMMODATE AND FACILITIES FOR ALL RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES, DISTRIBUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION ON THE SMART GRID.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONVENTIONAL AND SMART GRID?

CONVENTIONAL GRID:-

1. ONE WAY COMMUNICATION

2. MANUAL RESTORING

3. MANUAL MONITORING

SMART GRID

1. TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION

2. SELF-HEALING

3. SELF-MONITORING

WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES RELATE TO THE SMART GRID?

1. MANAGEMENT OF PRECURSORS AND THEIR MODELLING CAPACITY.

2. FAST LOOK AHEAD SIMULATION AND MODELLING CAPACITY.

3. ADAPTIVE AND EMERGENCY CONTROL: RAPID RESTORATION

4. ELECTRICITY MARKET-RELATED POLICIES.

WHAT ARE THE APPLICATIONS OF THE SMART GRID?

THE MOST COMMON APPLICATION OF SMART GRID TECHNOLOGY IS, SELF-HEALING GRID, FAULT PROTECTION, OUTAGE MANAGEMENT, DYNAMIC CONTROL OF VOLTAGE, WEATHER DATA INTEGRATION, CENTRALIZED CAPACITOR BANK CONTROL, DISTRIBUTION AND SUBSTATION,  AUTOMATION, ADVANCED SENSING, AUTOMATION.
