  1. Grid, Smart grid, CURENT

  2. Basic components of the Electric Grid • Power Plant- Electricity generation • Transmission- Transmit electricity to different areas • Distribution- Distribution to different loads • Loads- Industries, Residences, etc.

  3. Electric Grid • Converts different forms of energy to electricity (generation) • Forms of energy conversion (??) • Transmits electric energy from one place to another (transmission) (how??) • Challenges(??) a)Less losses b)Long distances c) No wire cut offs • Distribute to residential and industrial loads (Distribution) • Challenges(??)

  4. Sources of Energy • What are renewable and non-renewable sources of energy? U. S. Energy Consumption by Source, 2010

  5. Transmission and Distribution • Transformer: Transmission: Step up voltage to kV Distribution: Step-down voltage to 120 V • Lines

  6. Smart grid

  7. CURENT National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center.(ERC) Acollaboration between universities, industry and national labs. Center for Ultra wide Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Networks. Ultra wide ????A nation-wide or continent-wide transmission grid. Resilient???? Able to withstand and overcome overload or stressful/disturbed conditions How??? Develop a system that is fully monitored and dynamically controlled in real-time. Why?? high efficiency, high reliability, low cost. Electric Energy - renewable energy sources, energy storage Transmission Network

  8. CURENT • What we do not do • Generate, transmit or distribute energy • That is what electric grid does!! What we do • Monitor grid data, • Analyse the various disturbances/overloads • Develop control methods to improve and make the transmission grid resilient

  9. Solar and Wind Power
