16 Smart Grid Future: Achieving 7 Defining Functionalities Today s Grid Smart Grid Consumers have limited information and opportunity for participation with power system, unless under direct utility control Informed, involved, and active consumers demand response and distributed energy resources Dominated by central generation many obstacles exist for distributed energy resources interconnection and operation Limited wholesale markets, not well integrated limited opportunities for consumers Focus on outages and primarily manual restoration slow response to power quality issues, addressed case-by-case Limited integration of operational data with asset management business process silos limit sharing Responds to prevent further damage focus is on protecting assets following a fault Vulnerable to inadvertent mistakes, equipment failures, malicious acts of terror, and natural disasters Many distributed energy resources with plug-and-play convenience; responsive load to enhance grid reliability, enabling high penetration of renewables Mature, well-integrated wholesale markets; growth of new electricity markets for consumers; product interoperability Power quality is a priority with a variety of quality/price options rapid resolution of issues Greatly expanded data acquisition of grid parameters focus on prevention, minimizing impact to consumers Automatically detects and responds to problems focus on prevention, minimizing impact to consumers, and automated restoration Resilient to inadvertent and deliberate attacks and natural disasters with rapid coping and restoration capabilities 16
