What Is the Smart Grid?

[@aticulalam3394]

Smart grid introduces a two-way dialogue where electricity and information can be exchanged between the utility and its customers. It's a developing network of communications, controls, computers, automation, new technologies and tools working together to make the grid more efficient, more reliable, more secure and greener. This smart grid enables newer technologies to be integrated such as wind and solar energy production and plug-in electric vehicle charging. With our participation as informed consumers this smart grid will replace the aging infrastructure of today's grid and utilities can better communicate with us to help manage our electricity needs. The smart home communicates with the grid and enables consumers to manage their electricity usage by measuring a home's electricity consumption more frequently through a smart meter. Utilities can provide their customer with much better information to manage their electricity bills. Inside the smart home a home area network or HAN connects smart appliances thermostats and other electric devices to an energy management system. Smart appliances and devices will adjust their run schedule to reduce electricity demand on the grid at critical times and lower consumers energy bills. These smart devices can be controlled and scheduled over the web or even a TV. Renewable resources such as wind and solar are a sustainable and growing source for electric power. However renewable power sources are variable by nature and add complexity to normal grid operations. The smart grid provides the data and automation needed to enable solar panels and wind farms to put energy onto the grid and optimize its use to keep up with constantly changing energy demands. Utilities must turn power plants on and off depending on the amount of power needed at certain times of the day. The cost to deliver power depends on the time of day it is used. Electricity is more costly to deliver at peak times because additional often less efficient power plants must be run to meet the higher demand. This smart grid will enable utilities to manage and moderate electricity usage with the cooperation of their customers especially during peak demand times. As a result utilities will be able to reduce their operating costs by deferring electricity usage away from peak hours and having appliances and devices run at other times. Electricity production is more evenly distributed throughout the day. The power being used right now was generated less than a second ago many miles away. At each instance the amount of electricity generated must equal the consumption across the entire grid. Smart Grid technologies provide detailed information that enables grid operators to see and manage electricity consumption in real time. This greater insight and control reduces outages and lowers the need for peak power. The distribution system routes power from the utility to residential and commercial customers through power lines, switches and transformers. Utilities typically rely on complex power distribution schemes and manual switching to keep power flowing to their customers. Any break in this system caused by storms bad weather or sudden changes in electricity demand can lead to outages. The smart grids distribution intelligence counters these energy fluctuations and outages by automatically identifying problems. By rerouting and restoring power delivery utilities can further use distribution intelligence to predict in electricity usage with the cooperation of their customers leading to lower production cost. The charging of a plug-in electric vehicle can be managed over a home area network or HAN. The HAN can balance the demand for electricity across the household and prioritize between the electric vehicle and other appliances to manage electricity usage and reduce costs. With Smart Grid technologies and consumer participation utilities can more easily handle the increased demand for power to run the electric vehicles and ensure charging needs are met. By adding more plug-in electric vehicles to the grid we have the potential to reduce fuel costs, lower our dependency on foreign oil and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

@@stedmangilday2416 yeah I think the idea originally comes from well intentions. But in the end this will only become a new source of data to give to government and big tech. That’s all this will become. I don’t think anybody realizes this. Phones and social networks were the beginning. Then came electric (smart) cars. Then the smart cities will come. If anybody thinks electric cars like teslas or other electric vehicles aren’t doing crazy things like listening in on your conversations, then you’re dumb. What kind of information do you think auto insurance companies like all state and their apps like Snapshot (all state) gather? In this example I’m not so sure all state or insurance companies get info like conversations in the car but I’m sure someone will pay top dollar for that info. And I doubt manufactures would be so quick to protect privacy rights over a dollar. Is it so far-fetched to believe auto makers like Tesla do more than ONLY gather the necessary information to find out how much you should pay based on your driving behaviors? Was it so crazy to believe smart phone manufacturers like apple or service providers like ATT only gathered the NECESSARY information? What even makes it necessary? Pretty soon people will be hacking cars just like they hack cellphones. Then who knows what will be hacked with these so-called smart cities. I doubt anyone will read this (I apologize for the long comment) but these are all necessary and crucial questions people should be asking. But unfortunately a lot of them are still asleep at the wheel and still probably think companies like apple collecting information is a conspiracy. Lmao.

We implemented time of use pricing in Ontario and it was a total waste of money to put the special meters in all of the homes and then to setup the system. Now consumers are largely going away from time-of-use pricing. The video makes it sound like you can just adjust your usage when you are off-peak but people all get home at roughly the same time (5pm) and go to bed at the same time so there isn't much leeway for individual consumers.

[@harrison5429]

[@stephenbrickwood1602]

Petroleum will be a strategic military reserve asset. Every building is connected to the grid and it's rooftop solar PV will supply excess energy to the grid. Electric vehicles with huge batteries will be everywhere and automatically connected to the grid 24/7, except for rush hour daily drive. 7kwh or 7% of the full battery. EV batteries will trade energy and grid stability for money. The money will be in the grid. The few longer trips will include top ups at lunch breaks and overnight breaks. Fast charging will be only when required.

[@daisyduck8593]

The normal power grid has to be overlayered with HVDC. Because Wind Energy is best @ coasts and solar best @ deserts.... If you overlayer the whole world with big HVDC lines you do not even need energy storage anymore... Because there is always somewhere wind or the sun...

[@TREDxMUSIC]

Dagobert Duck long range transmission is always lossy. Then there's the problem of building and maintaining a HVDC line hundreds or even thousands of miles long, while most currently existing lines are less than 50 miles long. The only reason DC is used is in case the networks the energy is shared across use different voltage, current or frequency, and to maintain flexibility in these areas, but DC is actually less efficient over long distance than A.C. Then we have to wonder how many solar panels and wind farms we expect these countries with deserts & lots of coastline to allow. It's not very practical. New nuclear and local renewables are more practical.

[@joshuadodge7225]

I doubt this solution would withstand 5 minutes in a project/financial review

[@DomDoesCoasters]

HVDC is MUCH MORE EFFICENT THAN AC at LONG DISTANCE transmission

[@sandal_thong8631]

I suspect PV solar on your roof is more efficient than solar plant far out in the desert. If you're not using electricity from your PV solar, maybe some homebody down the street is doing laundry, watching TV, cooking lunch, vacuuming or using electric mower and grass/leaf blower.

From what I have read, they call it net metering - it is accounting trickery - but rooftop solar system owners are not selling electricity to a utility. For one thing, being dc current, how can it be sent into the ac grid? Using dca-ac converters, only so much energy can be sent. Solar city charges customers fixed amount - simple cash flow - but energy is not being bought, bottled, and sold to big mystery buyer. More likely, energy not comnsumed, simply goes to next door neighbour but he has no idea because how can he tell if electricity came from next door solar panel or utility. It is accounting trickery - no smart grid. Only smartness is about more closer monitoring of citizens' lives.

I have a question! In Australia there are a lot of energy companies in the market but only a small few that pump electricity into the grid. How do these companies charge consumers for the electricity when the grid is shared by everyone? For example say Company X pumps only 10% of energy into the grid and company Y pumps say 90% into the grid What if COMPANY X has 50% of the consumer market but is only pumping 10% of energy into the grid where as company Y maybe pumping 90% of energy into the grid but only has less then 50% of the market share. How can energy companies charge customers when the grid works as one major unit.

[@RedJerk5]

They buy and sell energy from each other like stocks, I believe.

[@rond5936]

It is called a metering device. There would be a meter installed at both companies X and Y inlets and also at various sub stations to cross check. So the managers of the grid sitting in their offices would know exactly how much power X and Y are both supplying. In Ghana, it Is already being practiced.

[@arifahammed6702]

Great!! Hope all countries will adopt this system soon.

[@dentonfender6492]

So the smart grid will allow power companies to monitor homes power usage. All this investment in taking away choice from homeowners. And they probably haven't spent a cent on protecting power transformers from surges caused by a powerful geomagnetic storm release by the Sun similar to the Carrington event in 1859. Further, the transformers are made in China, and if many of them were put out of commission all at one time, it is estimated it would take up to 10 years to replace them all.

How long until we put meters and have measurement readings on bio/electro/chemical and human central nervous system activity as part of such a 2 way energy and data grid (drawing from and feeding back into the network)? With caloric intake stored in the fridge, calculated by how much energy it took to produce and deliver such food, divided by level of central nervous system activity we generate across the day? To expand collective processing capabilities like growing a big ball of energy to the further most reaches of the cosmos (outer space) and human consciousness (inner space), to get to the source of what? All that stink, which may prove to be nothing but ourselves? Or will we actually reach that great wellspring of formlessness, like a molten bowl of wax that we dip into, because the only thing that can come out of it, is ourselves?. But even more Full of ourselves with every successive layer or yarn. Driven by some misguided attempt to get to the root command to right all the wrongs, and turn all the no's into yeses maybe? including ourselves? Or better still finally get out hands around the neck of that great tyrant that has terrorized and disappointed us for millennia, now that we blaze as powerfully as suns ourselves?

[@bobsmoot8454]

I wish DOE would be aggressive in the implementation of small, mini and micro nuclear Gen4 reactors. If you placed the point of energy generation closer to the end users, you cut transmission loses, and enable communities to manage the demand and production. It should be a policy that local reactors would be capable of producing at least 20% surplus on demand to allow back-feeding over 5he existing grid to locations that need power from maintenance or a natural or man made disaster. Using smaller reactors would also allow variable scaling from the demand from growth. The costs would be localized and no subsidies should be required, perhaps modifications to the tax code to drive this model would be necessary to ensure nationwide implementation, through depreciation or tax credit or ???? But if you to go “Green” and have a true resilient energy, nuclear is the answer. Need to make the reactors cheap by factory manufacturing techniques easily transportable, simple install - big hole encased in concrete dropped it in and hooked it up, well not quite that simplistic but close. We need to move expeditiously-now.

This is not correct. You can have smart grid without two way communication. Utility and grid broadcasting smart information to all users and meters, makes the grid smart already. I.e. by announcing available power and pricing, surges of power, coordinating many users to spread the load in time, etc. None of this require users to communicate anything to grid really.

[@parilkotecha3300]

I guess consumer data should be feed back to Generators to develop precisely required power. Moreover with solar panels in home,extra power generated is feed back into grids. So that should be taken into account as they have to pay you that price. And all such thing needs bidirectional communication.

The plug in electric cars really put more work to the grid and would require more fossil fuel to operate the generators to keep up with the electricity demand and would certainly increase the electric bill and transfer the fossil fuel usage to the grid rather than eliminating the excess use of the fuel. So where's the green and clean energy and the cost savings!!!!!!! Really is more propaganda than good!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewlankford9634]

It's certainly true that coal plants will pollute more if electric cars catch on and increase electricity consumption (doubt that's happening yet as apparently national electric consumption isn't growing anymore). But if more of the pollution is concentrated at said coal plant rather than thousands of car tailpipes everywhere, perhaps the pollution can be more easily/cheaply captured before it's released to the atmosphere. CO2 sequestration is probably (and literally) a pipe dream.

[@VinceroAlpha]

Andrew Lankford it’s a pipe dream that’s slowly happening. There are other ways to reduce CO2 emissions. LNG plants produce significantly less emissions than their coal counterparts. Also, there is a plant in LaPorte, Texas that is fossil fueled but produces 0 emissions due to the fact that they have successfully found a way to run the plant on emissions going into the atmosphere otherwise. Not to mention that all the excesses electricity being produced by renewables can be stored in batteries/capacitors that are constantly being improved via new discoveries in technology. Then they also can use the excess energy to power hydrogen converters and store the energy into hydrogen and reverse the process when needed. So that literal pipe dream is becoming an actuality.

[@chadhofheins3005]

I drive an electric car and have solar at my house. If we're talking about reducing carbon emissions, driving an electric power charged with coal-fired power STILL produces less carbon emissions that running a ICE car. ICE cars are really inefficient- most around 25%...tons of energy is lost as heat. Electric motors are close to 85%-90% efficient. My car is rated at 90-110 mpg equivalence where my old car got in the high 30s at its best. You also have to remember that each electric car eliminates a portion of the hydrocarbon consumption. I haven't purchased gas for year and a half and used to fill the tank every 10 days or so. It takes a little planning and adjusting but electrics are clearly more efficient...and I'm spending half as much as I did with gas. That' the facts.
