5 5 One of the ten Global Innovation Initiative funded by the US Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in 2014 US-UK-Brazil and more… – To establish a research framework to realize the smart grid benefits in every segment of participating countries regardless of their economic status. – To establish a research framework based on RDD&D (Research, Development, Demonstrate, and Deployment) approach to gain the maximum impact to the societies. Consortium for Rapid Smart Grid Impact (CRSGI)

9 9

10 10 1. Reduce electric demand and consumption rural electric communities through research and education 2. Increase power quality the power grid of a rural electric community when distributed energy generation is introduced though engineering analysis 3. Introduce effective feedback methodologies to change consumer behaviors related to electrical energy consumption 4. Investigate all possible scenarios for rural communities to become energy independent 5. Establish continuing research activities where faculty, students, and industry personnel will participate in continuous improvement though exchange programs, applied research, and symposiums Focus Areas

11 11 Reduce Demand Tutorial conducting and energy audits Energy management training material Consumer surveys Load profile identification and change methods Peak shaving techniques Pricing options Agent based modeling Community engagement Power Quality Wiring practices assessment Voltage sag and swell studies Volt/var control PowerFactory Simulations for PQ identification Renewable energy sizing Renewable energy integration options simulation Apply AMI for PQ Accomplishment of Focus Areas Color indicates the type: Method, Tool, or Practice Methods, Tools, and Practices

12 12 Feedback Methods Consumer surveys Consumer behavior identification Appliance level load detection Effective feedback methods design Agent based modeling Color indicates the type: Method, Tool, or Practice Accomplishment of Focus Areas Methods, Tools, and Practices

13 13 Energy Independency Microgrids possibilities Economic analysis for energy cooperatives Agent based modeling Community engagement Research & Engagement PowerFactory based simulation construction Hybrid Grid Emulator Volt/var control Renewable energy integration options simulation Commercial AMI operations Agent based modeling for power systems Gaming and social media for energy conservation Group student activities Color indicates the type: Method, Tool, or Practice Accomplishment of Focus Areas Methods, Tools, and Practices

14 14 Timeline

15 15 Prof. Celso at UNESP Head Quarters arranged a special meeting with the Scientific Director of FAESP (Sao Paulo Research Foundation) Dr. Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz – Outcome: Prof. Dionizio will be submitting a proposal Prof. Sampaio arranged several meetings with Brazilian Federal Ministries. Profs Kulatunga and Sampaio traveled to Brasilia and held meeting with – The minister of National Unification – The secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology – The secretary of CODEVASF – Outcome: The secretary of Science and Technology requested a proposal. Need t a proposal – The secretary of CODEVASF requested a proposal. Prof. Sampaio will be submitting one. Reaching Out Funding for Next Step
