The fundamental challenge in power grids is to ensure the balance of generation and demand The fundamental challenge in the Smart Grid is to ensure balance of generation and demand when integrating all those new technologies that are aimed at addressing in a sustainable manner energy independence and modernization of the aging power grid:
Utility scale Renewable Energy Sources (RES) feeding into the transmission systemDistributed Energy Resources (DER) feeding into the distribution systemPlug-in (Hybrid) Electric Vehicles (PHEV)Demand Side Management (DSM) Consumer participationStorage to compensate for the time varying nature of some renewables
Role of ICT in Smart Grid
6
• Supporting the above technologies and applications, requires the availability of a modern, flexible, and scalable communications network that ties monitoring and control together
• The true “key” enabler for the Smart Grid is the availability of a pervasive two-way data communication network across the whole grid, from generation to load

• ITU has given final approval to a family of next generation OFDM-based NB-PLC international standards:o Rec. G.9955 (PHY) approved in 12/2011 o Rec. G.9956 (DLL) approved in 11/2011
• Low complexity OFDM-based NB-PLC technology optimized for Smart Grid and home automation, addresses both access (low/medium voltage distribution lines) and in-home applications at frequencies below 500 kHz
• G.9955 and G.9956 contain the specifications of three separate and self-contained NB-PLC standards:
1. G.hnem: a new NB-PLC technology developed by ITU-T in cooperation with members of the G3-PLC and PRIME Alliances;
2. G3-PLC: an established and field-proven NB-PLC technology contributed by members of the G3-PLC Alliance
3. PRIME: an established and field-proven NB-PLC technology contributed by members of the PRIME Alliance

NB-PLC Recommendations
17
G.hn suite of BB-PLC RecsBest-in-class home networking performance (up to 1 Gbps) supporting all types of inside wiring:
Powerline, Coax, Phoneline, CAT 5
Best-in-class ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) control tools (in cooperation with ITU-R experts)
PSD limit and shaping, fixed & dynamic frequency notchingNecessary tools to meet the ucoming CENELEC prEN 50561-1 requirementsDynamic power control minimizes transmitted power
G.hn Recommendations:G.9960 Physical layer (support of relay nodes)G.9961 Data link layer (supports full QoS and multicast)G.9962 HN management (including BBF TR69 support)G.9963 MIMO (advanced performance)G.9964 HN power spectrum limits for EMCG.9972 coexistence with other broadband PLC systems 18
G.9972 – BB-PLC coexistence 1/3• An in-home PLC network is not contained within the home
• PLC signals in neighboring apartments will interfere with each other• The meter is not a gate, in many cases offers only a few dB of signal
attenuation so that also in-home and utility PLC networks will interfere
• Problem is worsened by:• An increase in residence density, rural areas are less affected• Cross-cable coupling in multiple dwelling units• Penetration of PLC technology• Usage of PLC spectrum is not regulated so that any PLC technology can
use channel resources without having any legal obligation to protect other PLC technology from interference
• The issue of mutual interference can hinder the success of PLC because of the availability of multiple non-interoperable PLC standards and a plethora of non-interoperable proprietary ones:
• Standards: IEEE 1901-FFT, IEEE 1901-Wavelet, G.996x (G.hn), IEC-ISO/IEC 12139-1
• Proprietary: HomePlug AV/Extended, HomePlug Green PHY, Panasonic HD-PLC, UPA Powermax, Gigle MediaXtreme, etc.
19
G.9972 – BB-PLC coexistence 2/3• The solution to interference between non-interoperable PLC
technologies is “coexistence” (CX), a resource sharing protocol that allows PLC technologies to share the medium
• The Inter-System Protocol (ISP) is a BB-PLC CX scheme that allows CX of up to four simultaneously present technologies
• Included in the IEEE 1901 PHY/MAC standard • Standardized as a stand-alone recommendation in ITU-T G.9972• Compliance with G.9972 implies compliance with ISP in IEEE 1901
• The ISP CX scheme in G.9972 can be used to ensure that:• in-home, access, and Smart Grid SDO-based broadband PLC will
coexist – it currently supports CX between IEEE 1901-FFT, IEEE 1901-Wavelet, and G.hn and can be modified to include also IEC-ISO/IEC 12139-1
• the operation of Smart Grid and home networking devices can be decoupled and allowed to mature at their own obsolescence rate
• utilities and service providers can avoid resolving service issues caused by interference between non-interoperable PLC devices
20
NB-PLC and BB-PLC coexistence 3/3• In one word, coexistence=“insurance that PLC will not stop working”
due to interference created by neighboring non-interoperable devices• As a response to concerns that some vendors may not implement ISP
in their products, SGIP PAP 15 made the strong recommendation to NIST that all broadband PLC technologies mustmust implement ISP and also turn it on at all times
• For the success of CX it is necessary to have the availability of an international and stand alone standard, and G.9972 ensures this
• Further work in PAP 15 is being done to harmonize the various NB-PLC technologies. Three CX mechanism are specified in G.9955:
• Frequency division (FD) CX mechanism - allows suppressing interference from G.9955 into a particular frequency band or bands by using non-overlapping G.9955 bandplans;
• Frequency notching CX mechanism – shall be used to suppress interference from G.9955 into a particular (relatively narrow) frequency range by notching out one or more subcarriers;
• Preamble-based CX mechanism – shall be used by G.9955 to fairly share the medium with other types of PLC technologies operating over the same frequency band (and utilizing this coexistence mechanism). The definition of this coexistence mechanism is for further study.

The “union” between the Communications and Power industries is still unconsummated, but it will happen as building a new ICT infrastructure is very costly
Telecom industry and service providers have a very important role in the smart grid
Cloud based hosted energy service providers will reach the home also via existing broadband access technologiesBroadband access can have a role in demand side management
Another driver for convergence is that Smart Grid does not end at the meter but it enters the home.
Many aspects of the Smart Grid are directly related to the availability of a home networking and consumer participation is key in demand side management programsThis will also shape the future of the Consumer Electronics industry through new energy efficiency standards
Smart Grid A Driver for Convergence
23
The power grid often crosses international or jurisdictional boundaries, but applications and devices must interoperate regardless of those boundariesThe Telecom/Power/CE convergence for the Smart Grid will drive a new echo-system of products and this must happen under the auspices of International SDOsITU-T can have a major role in facilitating the convergence of the communications, power, and CE worldsCooperation between the major International SDOs is key to success!
