Abstract
Electric power systems, feed electrical power from large central generators up through generator transformers to a high voltage interconnected network, known as the transmission grid. Each individual generator unit is large with a rating of up to 1000 MW. The transmission grid is used to transport the electrical power, sometimes over considerable distances, and this power is then extracted and passed through a series of distribution transformers to final circuits for delivery to the end customers. for the very largest loads there is no real-time monitoring of either the voltage being offered to a load or the current being drawn by it. There is very little interaction between the loads and the power system other than the supply of load energy whenever it is demanded.
The present revolution in communication systems, particularly stimulated by the internet, offers the possibility of much greater monitoring and control throughout the power system and hence more effective, flexible and lower cost operation. The Smart Grid is an opportunity to use new ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) to revolutionize the electrical power system. in this report will go through definition of smart grid and why implement the smart grid now then information and communication technologies used for smart grid. Smart metering and demand-side integration, services provided by demand side integration, power electronics in the smart grid and how the smart grid improves the renewable energy generation, energy storage technologies and its applications.
Case study one reducing residential load by using “Intelligent” appliances, smart meter. Case study two taking a combined cycle power plant consists of two gas turbine and one steam turbine to study the real time monitoring and control of power plant operation using smart grid technique, Control of reactive power export to the national grid using the tap changer
