Public survey

Question:

1. Is there correlation between energy consumption (generation) and global

warming?

2. Without doing anything do we survive with global warming?

• Availability 24/7• Reliability – no blackouts• Quality – V, f, upper and lower harmonics• Limitless connection of small RES plants• Limitless connection of electrical cars• Stock exchange view: Electricity price must be

communicated in every quarter -> every minute • No CO2 and other GHG emission• No senseless heat emission• No other enviroment pollution

Requirements agains the electrical network – from society point of view

• CO2 and other GHG emission• Regulation flexibility is strongly limited. It limits

the small plants’ connection potential to the grid.• The (middle) long term strategy has to involve

RES plants because of CO2 and other pollution issues as well as global warming….

And environmental problems aren’t solved yet… • Grid is not prepared to e-mobility.

Issues with current electrical enegy generation and TS DS systems


• ICT as online industrial control application• New sensors, measurement and

monitoring systems• Upgraded energy generation, storage and

transmission technologies and systems• e-mobility• Superconductive material applications

The solution is given - SmartGrid concept

SmartGrid involves sustainable technologies

SmartGrid features


SmartGrid is the 21th Century’s concept for electrical energy generation and distribution systems’s realization. It involves additional services and technologies enabling higher energy security and reliability, reducing transmission costs and supports sustainable technologies application.

These sustainable technologies are the RES (small) plants and limitless grid connection of these, electro mobility and other new energy storage, transmission and regulation technologies.

SmartGrid definition


Why „Smart”?

• Intelligent control for energy generation, transmission and storage in order to balance; production and comsumption in every moment;

• Able to heal smaller system failures automatically;• Energy efficient, thus „ECO” friendly; • Flexible, sustainable, future-proof;• „The overall social cost” must be cheaper than

current grid and it’s running technologies.

SmartGrid features


How to start to desing a SmartGrid project?• Source of the money – EU /EEA grants• Must be „profitable” (what is the value of the

human life on Earth?)• Must be feasible (PEST analysis)• Stakeholders wants to realize profit• Pilot project which demonstrates repeatability

and sustainable solution

SmartGrid features


How big is a powerful SmartGrid project?

• In electrical power level• Number of participating generators and consumers (in longer term these must be extendable without technological limitations)

• Territorial optimization

Optimal SmartGrid pilot project features


„Golden Middleway” solutionProject leader: State/governmental institute• Involves limited number of state owned

companies dedicated for pilot project.• Middle project size („not too big”, „not small”)• Central geo location (further system extension

should be considered)• Central core network realization „In the middle

of the energy flow”

A proposal: National-wide SmartGrid pilot project


A proposal: National SmartGrid Technology Institute


• Mastermind, think tank• Advisory role for administration• Representing the Country interests• Considering and maintaining future

generations’s interests• Project generator• Project realization as leader
