1 The Future of Electricity Networks 6 May, 2009 Dubai, UAE Smart Grids Pier Nabuurs Technology Platform SmartGrids Advisory Council Chairman CEO N.V. KEMA

2 Agenda Why SmartGrids? Europe s System What is a Smart Grid? What does a Smart Grid do? Challenges Effects on Grid companies

3 KEMA Services Technical & business consulting Operational support Testing, Inspections & Certifications For whom? Utilities (generation, T&D, Retail) Goverments, regulators, financial institutes Manufacturers (large) Energy consumers

4 Drivers towards European SmartGrids Regulation of Monopolies Innovation and Competitiveness Lower Prices And Efficiency Internal Market Primary Energy Sources Security of Supply Lisbon Agenda Environment Reliability and Quality Capacit Nature Preservation Climate Change Kyoto and Post-Kyoto

5 European Power system

6 European Power System To remember: 430 million people served 2500 TWh used 560 GW installed 500 /kw = 280G km HV 0.4M /km = 90G Approx km MV+LV network 1500 investment per EU citizen Largest man-made system

7 Investment needs 2030: >1,000 billion Demand Growth 2%/year = TWh until 2030 Generation Replacement & expansion 900 GW needed until 2030 RES 500 GWpeak needed until 2030 Transmission & Distribution Ageing assets, expansion and RES+DG integration 500G until 2030 needed Markets & Regulation Data + information need > 20G investment (based on 100 per connection)

8 EU targets % reduction CO 2 emission 20% renewable sources 20% energy saving

9 Ten point action plan 1. Use the new internal energy market better 2. Make it easier for Member States to help one another in case an energy crisis arises 3. Improve the EU Emissions Trading Scheme 4. Energy efficiency 5. Increase the use of renewable energy 6. Technology 7. Low carbon technology for fossil fuels 8. Safety and security of nuclear power 9. Agree to an international energy policy 10. Improve understanding

10 Customer Interaction an Intelligent Appliance Challenges for 2020 & beyond? GW of wind er in the North? Micro- generation in millions of homes? Ackgt EON Ackgt TechFreep plus wind variation / cloud cover / customer choice 30GW of solar power in the South? New DC Links and Interconnections

11 Challenges for 2020 & beyond W of wind power e North? Ackgt TechFreep Micro- generation in millions of homes? Smart Grids will be needed to ensure supply security, connect and operate clean and sustainabl plus wind variation / cloud cover / customer choice Customer Interaction an Intelligent Appliance energy, and give value for money 30GW of solar power in the South? New DC Links and Interconnections

12 There are remarkable changes ahead a paradigm shift the Third Industrial Revolution? Prof Jeremy Rifkin

13 A more Internet-like gri lti-directional ws ote & mated nostics Seamless integration of new applications End user real time Information & participat Central & dispersed intelligence Central & dispersed sources Smart materials an power electronics

14 A vision of the future

15 A Smart Grid will. nable active customer articipation ccommodate ll generation nd storage options Enable new products services and markets Provide power quality for the 21 st Century Optimise assets and operate efficiently Anticipate and respond to system disturbances (self-heal) Operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster Enable fundamental changes in Transport and Buildings Support and enable energy savings and efficiency Acknowledgement: SmartGridNews.com

16 A smart metering revolution? a networks perspective an RTU at every service head losses management & rewards intelligent demand control in emergencie portal to demand & icro-gen services local network also th comms channel? erational visibility of local networks Load-limiting & remote disconnection new services to delig customers.

17 Is there a definition for a Smart Grid? A Smart Grid generates and distributes electricity more effectively, economically, securely, and in a sustainable way. It integrates innovative tools and technologies, products and services, from generation, transmission and distribution all the way to and from consumer appliances and equipment using advanced sensing, communication, an control technologies. (EPIC, San Diego, adapted) Characterised by: Two-way distribution flows Less distinction between T & D Customer information Customer participation Variability & intermittency Internet-like : T2D, D2T and C2C Utilising: Renewable generation sources Micro-generation and CHP ICT & Power Electronics Bulk energy storage Transport integration

18 The Electric Elements DISTRIBUTED GENERATION ELECTRIC VEHICLES INTER- CONNECTIONS DISTRIBUTION NETWORK TRANSMISSION NETWORK METERS & DISPLAYS RESIDENTIAL DEMAND smart grids CENTRALISED GENERATION smart metering SUPPLIER TRANSACTIONS MICRO- GENERATION ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES ENERGY EFFICIENCY CUSTOMER BEHAVIOURS

19 Transport At work, At the shops At home Just park your battery powered car. Connect to the grid Connect to Communications Recharge the battery, if the price is right Be paid for power reserve to the grid Be paid for supply quality support Provide power to your own home Recharge from your microgeneration.

20 The Elements for Change echnology tandards & Open Systems egal & Regulatory Frameworks ommercial Arrangements anufacturers & Supply Chain emonstration & proving The Transition from the Classical Grids of today to the Smart Grids of tomorrow a Common Vision Collaboration Societal permission

21 Challenges for Transmission Transporting renewable energy Integrating renewable energy Connecting renewable energy Integrating central/dispersed sources EU supply security & grid robustness Integrating intelligent appliances End user visibility and interaction Aggregation of ancillary services Operational modelling & forecasting

22 Summarising the Big Issues Distribution must become more active, ie more Transmission-like Transmission must integrate, not just accommodate, Renewables & active Distribution networks

23 New Roles for Network Co s Energy Storage Grid Infeed Integrator ergy efficiency stomer overall participation stomer micro-gen types at/cooling networks rrier communications SS Optimiser Manage constraints and minimise losses Utilise smart meter data Manage asset condition / predict failure events Intelligent demand management in emergencies Aggregator Aggregator and manager of dispersed power sources Aggregator and manager of ancillary services for local network and the grid Ackgt: EON Central Networks

24 Much more than technology Smart Grids embrace transport, the built environment, behaviours of customers, and will need societal permission

25 The greatest challenge? How should the sector communicate with and convince the wider public? Issues for society and policy makers, not the electricity sector alone
