  • A Road Map to Deliver Smart Grid in the UK Simon Skillings
    A Road Map to Deliver Smart Grid in the UK Simon Skillings Summary The concept of a ‘smart grid’ involves the combination of instrumentation, communications and analytics that allows power network infrastructure to be operated in a dynamic and efficient manner as opposed to the ‘passive’ operational approach which is currently the norm in the UK. There exists general consensus that the challenges of climate change and system security, in particular the ability to accommodate significant volumes of decentralised and renewable generation, requires that the network infrastructure must be upgraded to enable smart operation. Failure to do so will act as a major obstacle in the transition to a low carbon economy. A second important aspect of network development involves the construction of a number of strategic interconnections across the North Sea to create a new off-shore grid. This opens up the opportunity to more fully exploit the vast untapped potential of off-shore wind energy. However, there are a series of obstacles which have hitherto hindered progress in upgrading the network. In particular, the current regulatory regime is not well designed to encourage network operators to embrace new technological opportunities and this is exacerbated by the extent of the risk and uncertainty involved. The government has a key role to play in injecting the necessary momentum by providing strong direction to the regulator on the outcomes that must be delivered. In addition, the government needs to ensure the appropriate financing routes are in place that will enable Ofgem to set a regulatory framework that leads to a low cost of capital for investors whilst retaining the necessary management incentives on network operators to deliver the required outcomes.

  • 'Supersmart Grid' Could Connect up Renewable Energy Across Europe
    4 June 2009 ‘SuperSmart Grid’ could connect up renewable energy across Europe Renewable energy could help Europe meet twin goals: a more secure energy supply and climate change mitigation. A recent study describes a new approach to electricity distribution in the form of a ‘SuperSmart Grid’. This supports both long-distance transmission and decentralised energy generation and could enable a 100 per cent renewable electricity system by 2050. A major problem with renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, is that supply is often intermittent, causing fluctuations and strain on the grid system. In addition, the current European grid system is unable to meet rising energy demands and needs to be transformed. Proposals for overcoming these problems include 1) a large-scale grid to transmit electricity from renewable sources over long distances, a ‘Super Grid’, and 2) decentralising production of renewable electricity from distributed, small installations, such as micro turbines, fuel cells or biogas digesters: a ‘Smart Grid’. The researchers, working under the EU CIRCE project1, suggest that these two proposals could be combined to create the SuperSmart Grid (SSG). This would transmit electricity over a wide area and connect up smaller, distributed generation installations. An efficient SSG would also even out any fluctuations over a wide area. The authors argue that a 100 per cent renewable electricity system is necessary if Europe is to meet its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 60-80 per cent, compared with pre-industrial levels by 2050, (in line with the policy to limit the global average temperature increase to not more than 2ºC) and that the SSG would enable this system.

  • The Supersmart Grid Energy and Climate Security for Europe and Beyond
    The SuperSmart Grid Energy and Climate security for Europe and beyond *# # # A. Battaglini , J. Lilliestam and A. Haas September 2008 *European Climate Forum; #Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Increasing energy needs and the threats posed by climate change pose new and unexpected challenges to the current energy system. A fundamental shift to a decarbonised economy is required to achieve energy and climate security. Europe has committed itself to 20% emission reduction by 2020, to a 20% share of electricity from renewable energy source and to keep global mean temperature increase below 2°C over pre-industrial levels. In order to achieve its targets Europe needs to develop and implement policies which foster a transition towards a 100% renewable electricity system. Among the different options taken into consideration there is the possibility of linking Europe to North Africa with high voltage direct current (HVDC) lines for transporting electricity produced from renewable energy sources. For the ongoing UN-post 2012 agreement negotiations it could be an important breakthrough if the EU, together with partners, would come up with a plan, which combines a realistic sharp increase of renewable energy for the EU, with a co-operative approach with a developing country region to secure energy security and greenhouse gas reduction in both regions and possibly with a breakthrough for important technologies and instruments which can play an important role world wide. The energy and climate challenges The energy system of today is heavily based on fossil energy resources.

  • Future of Energy: Powered by Solar
    Future of Energy: Powered by Solar Yrsa Cronhjort1, Kiran Giramella1, Aftab Hossain1, Rui Zhang1 and tutor Sanja Scepanovic1 1 Aalto University, PO Box 17800, 00076 AALTO, Finland {yrsa.cronhjort, kiran.garimella, mm.hossain, rui.2.zhang, sanja.scepanovic}@aalto.fi Abstract. Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, is ubiquitous. It exists everywhere and is available for any one of us to use. Global, sustainable growth could be supported and environmental impacts, caused by the production of electricity, limited by an increased use of solar energy. The daily and yearly solar irradiation is especially high close to the equator and in areas of our globe affected by desertification. However, countries excelling in the areas of investments made in and the use of solar power are high-technology countries located at less optimal latitudes. This paper presents a state- of-art study and discussion of the opportunities and barriers to accelerate the use of solar power. Three interlinked visions are discussed: (1) the 100% scenario assuming that the total global electricity demand could be covered with solar energy only, (2) the global-electricity-grid scenario suggesting a global electricity market supplied by large-scale photovoltaic plants, and (3) the energy-for-all scenario presenting wide- scale adoption of solar technologies as a means to tackle climate injustice and change by entering current nonconsumer markets. Keywords: solar energy, photovoltaics, electricity, climate change, future 1 Introduction Solar energy is ubiquitous. It exists everywhere on the globe. Germany made the headlines in early June 2014 by being able, for the first time, to cover more than 50% of the country’s electricity demand with energy collected via photovoltaic panels [1].

    University of Passau Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics Chair of Computer Networks and Computer Communications PhD thesis Towards High Performability in Advanced Metering Infrastructures Michael Niedermeier 1. Reviewer Hermann de Meer Chair of Computer Networks and Computer Communications University of Passau 2. Reviewer Anne Remke Group of Safety-Critical Systems University of Münster 11/06/2020 Michael Niedermeier Towards High Performability in Advanced Metering Infrastructures PhD thesis, 11/06/2020 Reviewers: Hermann de Meer and Anne Remke University of Passau Chair of Computer Networks and Computer Communications Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics Innstrasse 43 94032 Passau Abstract The current movement towards a smart grid serves as a solution to present power grid challenges by introducing numerous monitoring and communication technologies. A dependable, yet timely exchange of data is on the one hand an existential prerequisite to enable Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) services, yet on the other a challenging endeavor, because the increasing complexity of the grid fostered by the combination of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and utility networks inherently leads to dependability challenges. To be able to counter this dependability degradation, current approaches based on high-reliability hardware or physical redundancy are no longer feasible, as they lead to increased hardware costs or maintenance, if not both. The flexibility of these approaches regarding vendor and regulatory interoperability is also limited. However, a suitable solution to the AMI dependability challenges is also required to maintain certain regulatory-set performance and Quality of Service (QoS) levels. While a part of the challenge is the introduction of ICT into the power grid, it also serves as part of the solution.
