Modern Grid
A modern grid is also known as a Smart grid. For advance technology monitoring, controlling and Analysing purpose is used. It include things like digital communication, automation and renewable energy integration.
key Success factor of Modern smart grid are as follows
1. Reliable
A reliable grid provide the dependence where and when its user need it. It provides warning on any faulty Condition but can not be totally failure. It takes the Corrective action before. users are affected.
2. Secure
A Secure grid mean security from cyber scams without even any disturbance. It less effect the natural disasters.
3. Economic
An economic grid operates under the basic laws of Supply due to which fair prices of Electric bills are economic Collected from users.
4. Efficient
An efficient grid takes advantages of an investments. that lead to Cost Control, reduced transmission and distribution losses. It means more efficient power production and lower Cost of production.
5. Environmental Friendly
Generating more efficient renewable energy and reducing our dependency upon fossil fuels means less carbon emission.due to which environment does not effected more.
6. Safe
A safe grid system does not harm to the public or grid workers and its users. who depend on it for life Safety.
Characteristics Modern grid
1. Emergency response
A modern problem Provides advanced analysis to predict problems before they occur. This will follows the steps minimize the problems or faults quickly and effectively.
2. Restoration
It may take days or week to operate efficiency after occuring an emergency. A modern Can restore faster and at lower an Cost.
3. Routine operation
With a Modern grid operators Can understand the state of operation, also provide secure connections and controls.
4. Optimization
The modern grid provides advanced tools to understood Conditions, evaluate operations, and apply a wide range of control actions to optimize grid performance.
5. System Planning
Grid Planners must Analysis Projected growth in Supply and demand. for further guidance about what to build, when to build and where to build.
Design Features and Functions
1. Planning
Activities that estimate load and overload, develop capacity and sufficiency, and strategy outages.
2. Day Ahead
Short-term capacity requirements, kilowatt inputs and deductions, financial transmission rights and related services via tenders and offers.
3. Real Time Management
Management of power inputs and withdrawals, security limits, economic dispatch, capacity management, and additional services
4. Market Infrastructure and Support Systems
Systems, operations, and processes that result in high-quality power supply systems, including those that support market operations.
