Smart Grids and Grid Automation SMART GRID consists of many things: Power generation Power transmission Power distribution Grid automation Renewable integration Energy storage Electric vehicles Smart home & buildings

Megatrends Driving Grid Automation Integration of Electricity Grids and Information Technology Wireless IP Networks Reliability Distributed generation Better customer service

Benefits of Grid Automation Helping Utilities in Current and Future Needs Reliability Distributed generation Grid Automation provides central monitoring and control of distribution networks, enabling enhanced FLIR (Fault Location, Isolation and Restoration) Grid Automation enables central monitoring and control of the whole network to manage and balance distributed production Better customer service Grid automation allows fast recovery times and accurate forecast information, which give better service to your customers

Real-life results SAIDI = System Average Interruption Duration Index SAIFI = System Average Interruption Frequency Index ESB, Ireland Penalty costs -54% Investment payback time 10 months Vattenfall, Sweden & Finland SAIFI -50% Operational efficiency +5% E.ON, Romania SAIDI -20% SAIFI -50% PSEB, India Technical & commercial electricity losses reduced from 25% to 15% Increased profitability: 10% of turnover

Grid Automation Communication Alternatives WIRELESS WIRELINE Satellite Copper Wire Private Wireless Power Line Public Wireless Fiber Optic

Grid Automation ABB Wireless Solutions Tropos Wireless mesh radio networks RTU Modular remote terminal units REC601/603 Wireless controller RER601/603 Wireless gateway

Benefits of public wireless networks Often the most suitable solution CAPEX = capital expenditure OPEX = operational expenditure Fast implementation Low CAPEX No need for network building and obtaining licenses Investment only in own communication equipment Low OPEX Low communication and maintenance costs Suitability Continuous multidirectional connection with immediate nationwide coverage Reliability High network availability combined with utility-grade communication equipment Security Multiple levels of encryption and authentication provides high security

High availability in public wireless networks Normal phone vs utility-grade equipment Small antenna Standard radio Listens to few basestations Large antenna Enhanced radio Connected to multiple basestations Power outage in basestation may cause failure in connection Power outage in basestation causes no failure in connection

Security in Wireless Networks Multiple Levels of Security SECURE CONNECTION PIPE M2M gateway physically separates external and internal IP networks Integrated firewall blocks unauthorized access Secure VPN: strong authentication and encryption Private IP address on equipment level: not visible to public, only through M2M gateway GPRS radio signals are crypted with multiple algorithms Equipment has in-built firewalls: accepts traffic only from M2M gateway SCADA/DMS M2M GATEWAY APN TUNNELING COMMS EQUIPMENT
