Introduction to Course Instructor
I received the Ph.D. degree in electrical
engineering from Politecnico di Torino
(PdT), Torino, Italy, in 2015. I am
currently an Assistant Professor with
the Electrical Engineering Department,
University of Engineering and
Technology, Taxila, Pakistan. My
current research interests include
smart buildings, aggregate demand
flexibility, load management. 2

Lecture 1:
Smart Grid
An Introduction
9
Motivation
• The majority of the world’s electricity delivery system
or ‘grid’ was built when energy was reasonably of low
cost.
• The grid still operates the way it did almost 100 years
ago
– energy flows over the grid from central power plants to
consumers, and reliability is ensured by preserving surplus
capacity.
• The result is an incompetent and environmentally
extravagant system
10
Motivation
• Continued economic growth and fulfillment of
high standards in human life depends on
reliable and affordable access to electricity.
• An aging power grid that faces new challenges
posed by higher demands and increasing
digital and nonlinear loads has placed new
reliability concerns as observed with frequent
outages.
11
Motivation …
• Sensitivity of digital equipment into
intermittent outages has redefined the
concept of reliability.
• As a result, power generation, transmission,
and consumption have been the focus of
investigations/ remedies.
• Transforming the power grid into a more
efficient, reliable, and communication-rich
system
12
Modern Grid Capabilities
• Customer’s Participation
• Uncertainties handling in schedules and power
transfers across regions.
• Accommodating renewables
• Optimizing the transfer capability of the transmission
and distribution networks and meeting the demand
for increased quality and reliable supply.
• Managing and resolving unpredictable events and
uncertainties in operations and planning more
aggressively.
13
Smart Grid
• The Smart Grid is an opportunity to use new
information and communication technologies
(ICTs) to (r)evolutionize the electrical power
system.
– Due to the huge size of the power system and the

scale of investment over the years, changes are
expensive and need careful justifications.
14
Upgrade the grid in Smart way
15
Definitions
• A Smart Grid is an electricity network that can
intelligently integrate the actions of all users
connected to it—generators, consumers and
those that do both (prosumers)—in order to
efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and
secure electricity supplies.
(European Technology Platform)
16
Definitions …
• A smart grid uses sensing, embedded
processing and digital communications to
enable the electricity grid to be observable
(able to be measured and visualized),
controllable (able to manipulate and
optimize), automated (able to adapt and self-
heal), fully integrated (fully interoperable with
existing systems and with the capacity to
incorporate a diverse set of energy sources).
(The Opportunity)
17
Definitions …
• A smart grid uses digital technology to
improve reliability, security, and efficiency
(both economic and energy) of the electrical
system from large generation, through the
delivery systems to electricity consumers and
a growing number of distributed-generation
and storage resources.
