Smart Grid and Energy Efficency

The smart grid is a digital network that unites electrical providers, power-delivery systems and customers, and allows two-way communication between the utility and its customers. Smart grids have the potential to improve the efficiency of energy distribution and usage, both through the grids’ design and through consumer participation.Ideally, smart grids are also intended to work with multiple power sources, including wind and solar sources, and perhaps eventually small individual sources and ones that provide automotive power.

Defining Smart Grids

• Integration of renewable and distributed sources of electricity

• Integration of national networks into a single European electricity market

• Improved reliability of electricity supply• Customer participation• Support for electric vehicles• Efficiency• Business opportunities

Governmental Strategies and Projects to develop Smart Grids– Overview on German Activities

E-Energy – Smart Grids made in Germany

Much more energy is produced by decentralized renewable energy sources

Energy generation and consumption have to be kept continuously in balance

Smart Grids

E-Energy – Smart Grids made in Germany

“E-Energy: ICT-based Energy System of the Future” is a new support and funding priority undertaken by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) in 2008.

Primary goal: create E-Energy model regions that demonstrate how the potential for optimization presented by information and communication technologies (ICT) can be exploited to achieve efficiency, supply security and environmental compatibility.

The BMWi finances four model regions (40 Millions Euros).

The Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) finances other 2 model regions.

E-Energy: Goals

ICT system concepts, which optimize the efficiency, supply security and environmental compatibility of the electricity supply system are developed and tested in real-time in regional models.

Climate Conservation will be strengthened.

Job creation and new markets growth (energy retailers, new service provider, metering operators).

E-Energy: the six Model Regions

E-Energy: an example - eTellience

Whole new marketplace for energy developing in and around Cuxhaven.

Consumers can use this marketplace to buy, sell electricity, offer system services and idle power, and help reduce the load on the power grid.

Private households can put minute amounts of electricity on the market by using almost fully automated plug-and-play appliances.

2 refrigerated warehouses; 1 wind park; 2 city baths Cuxhaven; a clarification plant; 1 block heat and power plant.

eTelligence: First Findings and Results

Thermo-electric energy systems can be used very well to save energy

eTelligence seeks to achieve a local balance of electricity generation wind from wind power and electricity consumption by using large electric cooling facilities.

Modules are used through which the commercial energy consumers can be connected to the virtual power plant.

E-Energy: first findings and results

Savings of up to 5% have been reached in the private sector in the first pilot tests „on the field“.

In different E-Energy projects some firms registered even up to 20% energy savings.



Smart Grids – A European Perspective

European Energy Roadmap 2050 and Smart Grids

Smart and clean electricity have to be a central part of the energy system

High level of renewable energy sources

RES High Electricity Grid Investments

Increasing electricity shares in the total energy demand

Integrating electric cars and smart grids

Integrating energy markets and smart grids

The European Electricity Grid Initiative (EEGI)

EEGI: 9 year European Programme (2010-2018) initiated by electricity transmission and distributors network operators to accelerate innovation and development of the electricity networks in Europe into a Smart Grid

EEGI has been launched to accelerate de development of European Smart Grids in Europe

The European Electricity Grid Initiative (EEGI)

Level 0: New generation technologies

Level 1: Smart Pan-European Transmission network

Level 2: Smart network and processes

Level 3: Smart Integration

Level 4: Smart Energy Management

Obstacles and barriers to be removed

Transmission grid expansion will need to surmount following (still existing) barriers:Technology barriers (e.g. data privacy)

R&D organization barriers, such as fragmentation and duplication efforts

Market failures and distortions

There are also other obstacles connected to the increase of RES in the system, such as:National incentives can create cross-border obstacles to RES deployment

The increasing amount of RES in the system reduces available transmission capacity for TSOs’ commercial purposes and increases the need to use the system security margin to ensure network stability

Higher renewables penetration = a greater need for backup capacity
