Smart Grid Technologies and Implementations
type: CreativeWork
description: Smart grid has been advocated in both developing and developed countries in many years to deal with large amount of energy deficit and air pollutions. However, many literatures talked about some specific technologies and implementations, few of them could give a clear picture on the smart grid implementations in a macro scale like what is the main consideration for the smart grid implementations, how to examine the power system operation with communication network deployment, how to determine the optimal technology scheme with consideration of economic and political constraints, and so on. Governments and related institutions are keen to evaluate the cost and benefit of new technologies or mechanisms in a scientific way rather than making decision blindly. Decision Support System, which is an information system based on interactive computers to support decision making in planning, management, operations for evaluating technologies, is an essential tool to provide decision makers with powerful scientific evidence. The objective of the thesis is to identify the data and information processing technologies and mechanisms which will enable the further development of decision support systems that can be used to evaluate the indices for smart grid technology investment in the future. First of all, the thesis introduces the smart grid and its features and technologies in order to clarify the benefits can be obtained from smart grid deployment in many aspects such as economics, environment, reliability, efficiency, security and safety. Besides, it is necessary to understand power system business and operation scenarios which may affect the communication network model. This thesis, for the first time, will give detailed requirements for smart grid simulation according to the power system business and operation. In addition, state of art monitoring system and communication system involved in smart grid for better demand side management will be reviewed in order to find out th…
