Smart Grid Ethan Version
Definition
- Definition of electrical grid:
- Power station does generation and storage
- Transformers, lines are the transmission and distribution
- Electricity retailer sell electricity to consumers
Present state
- same as above
- Generation
- Transmission
- Distribution
- TO customer
- Industrial, commercial, residential
Perspective
- Combine present grid grid with new technology: present + future
- Futuristic grid: reasons
- New technologies
- Customer likes improvements
- More data
- AI
- Climate change
Challenges
- Pattern of electricity usage varies
- Renewable energy are not continuous (intermittent)
- Seasonality: Summer and winter differences
- Power plants has different responding times and prices
- Electric trading is complex (P2P electricity)
- Usage of Electric stuff: EV, IoT
- Climate change
- Network transmission need the capacity
Electricity market
- A market mechanism to buy additional energy when demand is high, and sell when demand is low.
- High demand and low supply causes price increase
- Low demand and high supply cause price decrease
- Introduce a exchange market, that electricity resellers and major consumers can buy from both exchange and from power plants
Data flow
Intro (WTF)
Integrating data with ML
- For demand forecasting: for the demand in the long term
- Use population data, energy price, share of renewable energy and GDP to predict future energy consumption
- Demand time series forecasting: for the demand in a time interval
Summary
- The problems:
- Cost (Equity)
- Sustainability (Green)
- Security
Examples
Shell energy
- Battery and energy trading
TESLA
- Megapack project: stores energy for the grid reliably and safely.
- Each unit store a lot of energy, and withstands extreme weathers
