Invites you for
National Workshop on
Smart Grid and Integration of Renewable Energy Resources
Date : 22 - 24th December 2011.
Venue : National Institute of Technology, Warangal
Time : 0930 hrs. - 1700 hrs / 3 days.
Speaker : Distinguished Speakers from Industry & Academia.
Smart grid is the integration of information and communications technology into electric transmission and distribution networks. The smart grid delivers electricity to consumers using two-way digital technology. It enables more efficient management of consumers’ end uses of electricity as well as more efficient use of the grid to identify and correct supply demand-imbalances instantaneously. It also detects faults in a “self-healing” process that improves service quality, enhances reliability and reduces costs. In the Indian context, a smart grid is defined, among other things, by the complexities of managing a synchronized national grid, two operational power exchanges, open access transactions, diverse generation sources, loss reduction in distribution and demand-side management. For the most part, system operators are seeking to minimize human interface to limit the margin for error. Added to this is the national objective to progressively increase renewable energy share in the grid, which necessitates real-time monitoring, forecasting and efficient grid dispatch. Six factors drive the adoption of the smart grid in India: Supply shortfalls, Loss reduction, managing the “human element” in system operations, Peak load management, Renewable energy & Technological leapfrogging. Also, the “smart” in a smart grid is ICT — an area of unique capability in India. The workshop focuses on Renewable Resources and Smart Grid Applications for transmission and distribution systems in the Indian Grid.
