What is it that keeps the CEO, COO and

the network manager awake at night?

The lights go out!

Resulting in some key business issues

Greater asset efficiency

Better reliability

!Stakeholder

pressure

Regulator /

consumer

pressure

Why is this a challenge?

� Ageing and inflexible infrastructure• Unable to accommodate the increasingly dynamic nature of energy generation and consumption

• Coming to end of life

� Rapidly changing energy consumption• Rapid growth in energy demand during increasingly concentrated periods

• Putting new pressures on the infrastructure

� Growth in distributed generation and micro generation• Changes the dynamics of the grid and distribution hierarchy

• Requires different measures and controls

� Aging workforce• Needs to reduce reliance on personal knowledge

Instantaneous demand (kW)

Time of day

What is being done about it?

� Smart production• Getting a more dynamic relationship between demand and supply

� Smart Grids• Making the most of existing transmission and distribution networks through improved measurement and control

• Using condition monitoring to predict failures and improve asset maintenance

• Moving to Substation and Distribution Automation with remote energy control and centralised documentation

� Smart Metering• Informing and influencing the consumer to be more aware of energy consumption patterns

• Understanding the precise characteristics of energy demand and using that to get better energy efficiency

Highly available, robust communications is a “must have”

Smart Grids: What sort of applications are we looking at?� e-SCADA

• SCADA is moving away from modem based protocols to IP

� Sub-station automation• Remote measurement and control of energy flows

• Centralised document access

• Physical security (CCTV, remote access management, lone workers)

� Distribution automation• Remote measurement and control into the remote extremes of the network down to LV transformer

• Remote condition monitoring down to LV transformer

• Intelligent distribution management systems to pinpoint problems

� Cyber security• All this remote work demands high cyber security capability

…but most of today’s utility communication networks cannot cope
