ICT Development - Smart Grid: Progress and Issues
PracTel Inc, April 2010, Pages: 211
Electrical Smart Grid allows the utility’s products to be efficiently distributed, measured and controlled; and the infrastructure to be automated and integrated with both existing systems and new energy sources. Highly flexible and adaptive, the ICT-enabled Smart Grid will generate new business models, new energy management services, new tariff structures and new ways to engage and collaborate with consumers.
This report continues and updates the Practel, Inc project to research and to analyze Smart Grid ICT. In particular, it addresses the following subjects:
ICT standardization. So far, this process is supported by multiple organizations, such IEEE, ETSI, as well as various industry groups. The process itself is in the emerging state, and needs to be more coordinated.
ICT status. This part of the report addresses the current and future views on the ICT development. It analyzes the structure and characteristics of the Smart Grid ICT, security issues, the role of Smart Meters and other. Market prospectus is also included; the industry players’ product portfolios are surveyed. There are several Smart Grid projects in development or early introduction state all around the globe; samples of these projects are discussed
ICT and HAN. Home Area Networks are an important part of Smart Grid ICT. For HAN implementation, short-reach communication is required. The most probable candidates for supporting HAN wireless connectivity are ZigBee and Z-Wave technologies. The detailed technological and marketing analysis of these short-reach radios is provided.
Green ICT. One of the major benefits that Smart Grid ICT brings is reduction of pollutants. The report concentrates on the analysis of HAN nodes that utilize power harvesting technologies.
Research Methodology:
Considerable research was done using the Internet. Information from various Web sites was studied and analyzed. Evaluation of publicly available marketing and technical publications was conducted. Telephone conversations and interviews were held with industry analysts, technical experts and executives. In addition to these interviews and primary research, secondary sources were used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market landscape, including industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.
The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the information content.
Target Audience:
This report is important to a wide population of researches, technical and sales staff involved in the developing of the Smart Grid ICT. It is recommended for both service providers and vendors that are working with related technologies. The report also helps to understand issues associated with relationship between “green” Smart Grid ICT and other technologies.
