Performance Standards in Distribution System & Effective Distribution Management Using Smart Grids

The document discusses performance standards and effective distribution management in power systems using smart grids. It outlines key performance standards like power restoration, quality, and complaint response times. Issues with current systems like safety, training, and public safety are presented. Methods to measure reliability like SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIFI and CAIDI indices are defined. An overview of India's distribution infrastructure challenges around access and losses is provided. Smart grid components and technologies like smart meters, substations and communication networks are described. India's initiatives toward smart grids through projects and task forces are highlighted.

KEY STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE
 Restoration of power supply
 Quality of power supply

 Complaints about meters

 Application for new connections/ additional


loads
 Complaints about consumers bill

 Issues relating to disconnection and


reconnecting of supply.
ISSUES
 Safety instructions for working on mains & apparatus.
 Lack of responsibility

 Lack of training

 Carelessness and ignorance

 Safety measures in operation of substation, T&D lines.


METHODS TO MEASURE AND IMPROVE
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM RELIABILITY
 Performance indices

 System average interruption frequency index (SAIFI)

SAIFI = (total no. of customer interruption / total no. customer


served)

 System average interruption duration index (SAIDI)

SAIDI = (sum of the customer interruption duration / total no.


customer)
METHODS TO MEASURE AND IMPROVE
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM RELIABILITY
 Customer average interruption frequency index (CAIFI)

CAIFI = (total no. of customer interruption / total no. customer


affected)

 Customer average interruption duration index (CAIDI)

CAIDI = (total no. of customer interruption duration / total no.


of customer interruption)

 Average service availability index (ASAI)

ASAI = (8760 – SAIDI) / 8760

PRESENTATION STRUCTURE

 Distribution Infrastructure in India


 Overview of smart grid

 Key technologies and solutions

 Smart Grid in India


DISTRIBUTION INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA

 80% of villages are ‘electrified’, yet… 45% of the


population doesn’t have access to electricity
 ~400 Million people without electricity (US population
~300 Million)
 Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses are
very high >25% on average, >50% in many states
 High electricity ‘theft’; poor policing / enforcement due
to political reasons
 Subsidies to agricultural sector

 Free or very low-cost power which is often un-metered

 Hard to separate free power from ‘theft’


DISTRIBUTION INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA
( CONT..)
 ~60 Electricity Distribution companies in India
Generally state-owned monopolies
Generally loss making entities (average loss 11% of sales / year
mainly due to high AT&C losses and poor revenue collection)
 Reform of the distribution sector identified as a key need by the

government -
 APDRP, R-APDRP – Reducing AT&C losses a key focus

 Open-Access for the distribution network to foster competition

 Laws against theft - better enforcement, better communication

 Privatization & Franchising of distribution network

 Demand Side Management – especially in agricultural sector

 Rationalization of tariffs and removal of cross-subsidies


SMART GRID

 Integration of Electrical & Digital technologies,


information and communication which facilitates
integration of business processes and systems to yield
real measurable value across the power delivery chain.
 Components of the smart grid:

 Smart Power meters

 Smart Substations

 Smart Distribution

 Smart Generation

SMART GRID IN INDIA
 APDRP, R-APDRP initiative for distribution reform (AT&C focus)
 DRUM India – Distribution Reform Upgrade, Management
 Four pilot sites (North Delhi, Bangalore, Gujarat, Maharashtra)
 Smart Grid Vision for India

 Smart Grid Task Force – Headed by Sam Pitroda


 BESCOM project – Bangalore – Integration of renewable and
distributed energy resources into the grid
 KEPCO project in Kerala India - $10 Billion initiative for Smart-Grid

 L&T and Telvent project – Maharashtra – Distribution


Management System roll-out
 Housing –

 Rabirashmi Abasan Housing project – Kolkata (2008). First


instance of net metering in India from roof-top Solar
 SA Habitat and Valence Energy – Hyderabad (2009) . Distributed
generation via roof-top solar for 40% in a micro-grid
