"Within 6 hours deserts receive more energy from the sun than humankind consumes within a year"

DESERTEC wants to be the engine and drive for this world-wide development and change. A world-wide energy transition that supports wealth everywhere might probably be the biggest peace project in the history of humankind.

Power Transmission

Existing Grid

• Limited Delivery System.

• High cost of power outage and power quality interruption.

• Inefficiency at managing peak load.

• Communications too slow.

“Most of the world relies on electricity systems built around 50 years ago,Which are of very efficient and could be more reliable and sustainable”

Don’t panic !!

There’s a solution: The Smart Grid

Smart Grid Vision for India“Transform the Indian power sector into a secure, adaptive, sustainable and digitally enabled ecosystem that provides reliable and quality energy for all with active participation of stakeholders”

Why to Switch Smart grid?

• Smart control of Energy Demand

• Reduce emitting green house gaseous (GHG)

• Increase Power Quality

What is Smart Grid ?

A smart grid is an electrical grid with automation, communication and IT systems thatcan monitor power flows from points of generation to points of consumption (evendown to the appliances level) and control the power flow the load to matchgeneration in real time.

11

The increased visibility, predictability, and even control of generation and demand bring flexibility to both generation and consumption and enable the utility to better integrate intermittent renewable generation and also reduce costs of peak power.

12

If the traditional grid was made secure only through over-engineering, a smart grid is cost-effective, nimble, responsive, and better engineered for reliability and self-healing operations.

Grid vs Smart Grid

14

Components of smart grids

• An intelligent electricity- delivery system: energy suppliers and consumers: interconnect through a network

• Smart meters: are installed at homes and business

monitor energy consumption

transmit that information back to energy providers

• Energy providers : track energy consumption

automatically throttle down energy consumption on a granular level when demand gets too high.
