What is Smart Grid? v   A smart grid is a modernized electrical grid that uses

information and communications technology to gather and act on information in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity.

v  Electric grid modernization involves,

1. Improvement of infrastructure 2. Addition of the digital layer 3. Business process transformation Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation, 3-5 June 2014 ITU Kaleidoscope 2014 - Living in a converged world - impossible without standards?

How is it different from the existing Electricity Grid ?

What is Demand side Management ? v   DSM is the modification of consumer’s demand of

electricity through various methods such as financial incentives and consumer education

v A process by which electrical utilities in collaboration with consumers, achieve predictable and sustainable change in electricity demand

v Usually the goal of DSM is to encourage the consumers to use less energy during peak hours or to move the time of energy use to the off-peak hours

Energy Consumption Schedule (ECS)

v   The ECS devices are built inside the smart meters

v Smart meters are connected to communication networks and power grid.

v  The aim is to reduce the total energy cost as well as the peak-to average-ratio (PAR)

v Two approaches for energy consumption management in buildings: Reducing consumption and Shifting Consumption

v Deployment of storage and ECS devices for DSM

System Model I

v We consider N users served by one utility company.

v Each user has a smart meter with ECS, that communicates with his/her devices and the utility company through the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)

v Each user n ∈ N, is considered to have non-adjustable loads, adjustable load and a storage device.

v  → a set of adjustable load appliances: PHEVs, air conditioner, etc.

v For each device , we define energy consumption Scheduling vector

Cost of Electricity

v  → the cost of electricity over a slot

v The cost that the utility incurs to provide electricity to the end user

v The cost of the same load may be different at different time of the day

v  The multi-residential load control task amounts to minimizing the total cost of electricity

Optimization Problem

v The centralized fashion can be used to solve the problem

v Central unit performs the optimization

v  It requires each user to provide detailed information about his/her energy storage capabilities as well as the energy consumption of devices. Private issues may discourage users to subscribe to the optimization process if Centralized fashion is adopted

v We proposed a distributed fashion.

Simulation Parameters

v  N = 20, each having random adjustable and non-adjustable devices between 10 to 20

v Non-adjustable load appliances include electric bulbs, TVs, refrigerators etc.

v These are loads whose instantaneous power or starting time cannot be adjusted.

v Adjustable load refers to the loads whose instantaneous power, starting time or both can be adjusted.

v Adjustable load appliances includes PHEVs, dish washers, washing machines etc.

v Users with and without storage devices are considered. Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation, 3-5 June 2014 ITU Kaleidoscope 2014 - Living in a converged world - impossible without standards?

Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation, 3-5 June 2014 ITU Kaleidoscope 2014 - Living in a converged world - impossible without standards?

v We considered deployment of ECS devices in smart meters for DSM  

v Difference in pricing mechanisms employed by utility companies gives incentive for users to trade the energy.

v Simulation results show significant reduction in cost for the ECS scheme over the system without ECS

v Energy Storage devices play an important role in reducing the cost paid by the consumers.
