Infrastructure & Components of SMART GRID & Supportive Innovative Smart Technologies
STEP 1 How to Design & Implement SMART GRID In New/Existing Cities In GCC & Other Middle East Countries Create a roadmap to switch the existing power grid to smarter one Following leading companies expertise to guideline our own roadmap Following international standards & regulations Defining the roadmap as an increasingly intelligent & highly automated electric power system utilizing technologies in telecommunications, information, computing, sensing, controls, & materials
STEP 2 How to Design & Implement SMART GRID In New/Existing Cities In GCC & Other Middle East Countries Provide a plan outline to have new technologies installed This plan should cover the transmission of power, distribution of power & customer related technologies 5 stages of the plan: foundation, inform & automate, interactive, intuitive & transactive grid integration of new clean energy power resources
How to Design & Implement SMART GRID In New/Existing Cities In GCC & Other Middle East Countries How to achieve optimal SMART GRID Grid operation Grid infrastructure Integrating large scale intermittent generation Information & communication technologies Active distribution networks New market, users & energy efficiency The new grid will take over the traditional grid without any discontinuation of the power or discomforting consumers
Kuwait s Leadership In The Race Of New Technologies & Smart Solutions Smart Metering system application by Ministry of Electricity & Water (MEW) Kuwait s first smart city South Saad Al-Abdallah Smart City designed by Korean Land and Housing corporation (LH) with Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) Energy saving & technologies upgrade Banning production & importing nonenergy saving components such as lamps HVAC power saving components Rising the electricity fees on commercial sectors The adoption of ON-Grid photovoltaic solar system to MEW grid Energy management & monitoring
Advantages Deliver enhanced levels of reliability & security of supply Allow customers to play a part in optimizing the operation of the system Consists of more than one technology that benefits extend far beyond the power system Minimizing back-up power plants & energy efficiency enhancement Intelligent meters that will control energy flows & failures of the grid
Advantages Better facilities for the connection & operation of generators of all sizes & technologies New level of cooperation between industry, public, consumers & private energy co-operatives Better facilitate the connection & operation of generators of all sizes & technologies Improving power reliability & quality by better monitoring Self healing grid High quality of service
Challenges & Obstacles of Smart Grids & Smart Cities Government Support: funding and to ensure coordinated development The establishment of electric vehicles & their stations Lack of faster & more comprehensive development standards & local regulations Upgrading existing grids & cities with poor infrastructure Changing the market to smart mode technologies Educating consumers, governmental & private sectors & shareholder Lack of long-term strategies & roadmaps Privacy & security problems
Conclusion Better manage of energy delivery & transmission Consumers controlling energy decisions & reduction in electricity bills Incorporates the benefits of advanced ICT Real-time information delivery & balance of supply & demand on electrical grid Renewable energy & sustainability Revolute utility & transportation sectors by integration of electric vehicles
