Smart Grid: A new paradigm for power delivery
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Mohammad Shahidehpour
Illinois Institute of Technology
About the Topic
The optimal operation of electric power system is impacted by the
unbundling of generation and transmission systems, enhanced monitoring
of the transmission system by phasor measurement units, integration of
renewable energy, real-time pricing and demand response, and
applications of smart grid for managing the distributed control of
power systems. This presentation will highlight some of the key issues
with the smart grid design and implementation. Smart grid represents a
vision for a digital upgrade of electric power systems. It optimizes
the grid operations, enhances the grid security, and opens up new
markets for the utilization of sustainable energy production.
The key to a smart grid is using the Internet protocol on home
devices to shuttle information back and forth between the electric
utility and customers. A smart meter installed at consumer premise
measures, monitors, and helps manage how much energy is used. With a
smart two-way communication mechanism between a power consumer and its
provider, both parties can get far more control over electric power
consumption, cost, outages, and security. The development of a
microgrid at IIT which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy will
be discussed. The global IEEE activities for promoting smart grid
technologies will also be discussed.
