Smart Grid New Trends …

● Boosting DG Performance

● Fault ride-through

● Smart inverters / converters for solar plants / wind farms

● Power storage for buffering purposes (short-term) – dealing with sudden

unbalance between load and generation due to the intermittence of DG

● Enhancing Grid Reliability and Security

● Energy storage (medium/long term) for periods of lack of RES (e.g. night period,

bad weather, emergency)

● Adaptive Protections for high network topology change and DG assets dynamics

● Implementing Demand-side Management

● Coping with operational restrictions

● Offering new tariffs and services by the energy seller

● Promoting Demand Response with a better energetic awareness by the users,

implementing Peak-shaving

… Smart Grid New Trends

● EV Integration

● Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Vehicle to Home (V2H)

● Dynamic Charging – the grid plays an important role on “when” to charge

● Postponing CAPEX

● Integrated Smart Solutions are the key for deferring the investment on the legacy

power infrastructure

● EDP Distribuição – management and operation of the electric power network

● INTELI – project management and promotion

● CEIIA – design of the MOBI.E (and GALP) charging stations

● Efacec – charging stations

● Critical Software – infrastructure management

● Novabase – information systems (e.g. billing, GIS)

● There are already around 1,100 charging stations

● Shortly the total will reach 1,350, as planned

● These are mainly Slow Charging stations, covering the main municipalities of the continent

● The highways have already some Quick Charging stations (the total will be 50)

● The charging stations are “car manufacturer“ agnostic
