IntroductionWHAT IS THE SMART GRID?
Defining the Smart Grid is in itself tricky business. Select six stakeholders and you will likely get at least six
definitions.
"is an electrical grid that uses computers and other technology to gather and act on information, such as information about the behaviors of suppliers and consumers, in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity.”.

the Department

Distribution Automation Definition
Distribution Automation started in the 70’s
It allows utilities to implement flexible
control of their systems, which can be used to enhance efficiency,
reliability, and quality of electric service.
Distribution Automation is also referred as
Feeder Automation.
Definition by IEEE:'‘Distribution Automation is a system that enables
an electric utility to remotely monitor,
coordinate and operate distribution components in
a real-time mode from remote locations."
Electrical Components of Smart Grids
Distribution Automation Benefits
AMI & Improve reliability Fault Location, Isolation and System Restoration
- Metering management- Reduce outage duration.- Reduce number of
outages.- Improve quality indices
Improve system efficiency Volt/Var Control- Reduce line losses- Fulfill voltage profile
regulation
Effective DG integrationInverters, numerical
protection, SCADA, and others technology options
- Improve impact from ER- Improve Power Quality - Improve Reliability
Advanced asset management
Sensors to determine maintenance program
according to condition-based status
- Reduce maintenance expenses
- Reduce associated failure expenses
- Deferral of replacement

The Smart Grid Maturity Model is
A management toolthat provides a
common language and frameworkfor defining key elements of
smart grid transformationand helping utilities develop a
programmatic approachand track their progress
