Summary LUT University BACKGROUND CHANGING POWER SYSTEMS There are challenges for grid operators and electricity markets, who must offer Reliability Economic competitiveness Sustainability Aging electrical infrastructure Supply from variable renewable energy and distributed generation Decentralisation Interconnected grids and markets Bidirectional distribution Electricity and information Passive consumers will become active prosumers New demands for electricity TRANSMISSION GRID OF FINLAND The main transmission grid managed by Fingrid Oyj encompasses approximately 14,600 kilometres of transmission lines and nearly 120 substations. About 77 per cent of all electricity transmitted in Finland is transmitted through this grid. The power system in Finland is part of the inter-Nordic power system together with the systems in Sweden, Norway and Eastern Denmark. There are direct current transmission links to Finland from Russia and Estonia DC is preferred due to differences in national systems High-voltage Medium-voltage Low-voltage Power Transmission distribution grid distribution grid distribution grid plant grid ELECTRICITY GRIDS INOverhead FINLANDTransformer line Substation Substation Overhead Transformer line Underground Underground cable cable High-voltage distribution – 22,500 km of overhead lines Medium-voltage distribution – 140,000 km of overhead lines, aerial cables, underground and underwater cables Low-voltage distribution – 240,000 km of overhead lines, aerial cables and underground cables Medium-voltage underground cables increasing in Finland as most disturbances occur in this network Also more commonly used in low-voltage networks Source: https://www.elenia.fi/yritys/s%C3%A4hk%C3%B6verkko- tutuksi WHAT IS A SMART GRID? SMART GRID DEFINITION A Smart Grid can integrate the behaviour and actions of all users connected A smart grid employs innovative products and services together with intelligent monitoring, control, communication, and self-healing technologies to: Better facilitate the connection and operation of generators of all sizes and technologies Allow consumers to play a part in optimising the operation of the system Provide consumers with greater information and options for how they use their supply Significantly reduce the environmental impact of the whole electricity supply system Maintain or even improve the existing high levels of system reliability, quality and security of supply Maintain and improve the existing services efficiently MANAGING COMPLEXITY Substations manage the optimal regulation of electrical power in the network, including existing power plants, distributed renewable energy, storage and end consumers Precise time synchronization is poised to play an even more significant role, as intelligent two-way power grids become fully functional Grid operators receive communication from the grid community and send data, such as pricing and rate signals, back to all participants. FEATURES OF SMART GRID ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND CONDITION MONITORING DEVICES Capex (Capital Expenditure): Money used by company for buying, upgrading or maintaining the physical assets. Opex (Operational expenditure): Money used by company for day to day expenses of the business like office supplies, rent, utilities and salaries etc. Optimization of Capex and Opex by utilities Condition-based maintenance systems allow reduction of maintenance costs without sacrificing reliability BUILDING AUTOMATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS (BACS) Instrumentation, control and management technology for building structures, power generation, consumption, outdoor facilities and other equipment capable of automation Buildings equipped with an automation system that interconnects a variety of controls including lighting, security, appliances and other devices in a common network infrastructure that also allows it to become more energy efficient. DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND SYSTEM INTEGRITY PROTECTION Protection of primary equipment (e.g. transformers) from fatal faults, and power systems from instabilities and black-outs Avoidance of load-shedding actions DISTRIBUTION AUTOMATION AND PROTECTION − Advanced distribution automation concepts promote automatic self configuration features, reducing outage times to a minimum (Self- healing grids) − Isolation of network failures and protection of infrastructure − Distributed energy resources are able to create self-contained cells (MicroGrids), which in turn can help to assure energy supply in distribution grids even when the transmission grid has a blackout ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS) Is the control centre for the Transmission Grid Today customers require an open architecture to enable an easy IT integration and a better support to avoid blackouts (e.g. phasor measurements, visualization of the grid status, dynamic network stability analysis Can include generation forecasting for variable renewable energy INDUSTRIAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT (IEM) 42.3% energy consumed by industries 20th century conditions 21st century conditions Planning / Strategy Operation / Implementation Controlling Organization Culture Ullah, M., Narayanan, A., Wolff, A. and Nardelli, P.H., 2022.

DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DMS) Is the counterpart to the EMS and is therefore the control centre for the distribution grid In countries where outages are a frequent problem, the Outage Management System (OMS) is an important component of the DMS Other important components are fault location and interfaces to Geographic Information Systems. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY Throughout the Smart Grid the increased use of IT technologies allows to improve the interaction and integration of formerly separated systems Buildings respond to occupants not vice-versa Utilities increase their ability to detect and correct problems in their system All of this leads to cost and energy savings POWER ELECTRONICS Are an important part of the control mechanisms of the power grid Allow for control and conversion of electric power on several scales Systems like High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) enable actual control of the power flow and can help increase transport capacity without increasing short circuit power POWER QUALITY AND POWER MONITORING SYSTEMS Act in a very similar way to Quality Management Systems in companies Independent from Operation, Control and Management Systems and supervise all activities and assets/electrical equipment in a corresponding grid Such systems can be used as "early warning systems" and are a must to analyze faults and to find out the corresponding reasons. DISTRIBUTED GENERATION (DG) Development of DG is transforming the planning of distribution networks Despite the benefits offered by renewable DG technologies, several economic and technical challenges can result from the inappropriate integration of DG in existing distribution networks. Optimal planning of DG is of paramount importance to ensure that the performance of distribution network can meet the expected power quality, voltage stability, Ehsan and Yang, 2018.
