2. Why Smart Grid ? Increased Reliability of Power Networks
Avoid blackouts/brownouts
Faster rerouting, reclosing
Learn about problems faster
Avoid uncontrolled load shedding
Integrate Renewable Energy
Avoid distributed energy generators – wind, solar, micro & gensets
Increase Energy Efficiency
Energy saving
Variable-speed drives
Price-driven demand response
Enable future apps – eV, V2G
Smart grid has been a widely discussed topic in recent years; besides reason of reducing carbon dioxide, two major factors come from below two parts:
Reliability Part:
A chain of blackout occurred at 16:15pm Aug. 14, 2003  affected 10M people in Canada and 50M people in Northeast USA, and resulted in 25~30 billion loss
Efficiency part:
able to manage efficiency of energy generation and usage, which is impossible in the past
Precise for instant price
Transparent information

3. Enabling the Smart Grid
Self-healing System

Demand / Response
Smart Substation
When we talk about smart grid, we can ignore heart of energy, and that is smart substation.
All section (generation / transmission / distribution…) connect to smart substation, and with smart substation, many new functions can be executed, such as self-healing, demand/response, instant price…and son on.

8. IEC 61850-3 Standard Overview
IEC is a Breakthrough for Substation Automation
One world, One technology, One Standard
It defines communication protocols in a modern substation.
IEC defines the general requirements :
Ref.
Function
IEC
Normal (req. of CE/FCC)
IEC
ESD
Contact : 8KV
Air :15KV
Contact : 4KV
Air :8KV
IEC RS
35 V/m
10 V/m
IEC
EFT
4KV
2KV
IEC
Surge
0.5KV
If we simply divided IEC into H/W and S/W.
IEC standard is related to H/W side.
From the chart, you may easily see the requirement differences between IEC and normal industrial PC
From sub-regulation IEC61000, ESD/RS/EFT/Surge requirements are much stricter than normal IPC requirements
For example:
ESD: 8KV VS 4KV (contact) and 15KV VS 8KV (Air)
EFT: 4KV VS 2KV
Surge: 5KV VS 0.5KV

9. IRIG-B Function Overview
IRIG, Inter-range instrumentation group time codes
Interfaces usually used :
Fiber optics
Coaxial lines (TTL)
RS-485 (Differential)
Auto-mode :
While the regular IRIG-B source is down, 1st tier devices can be backed up to provide the internal time source.
For power application, time syn. function is important, and normally time syn. Spec. in substation application is IRIG-B
Interfaces for IRIG-B could be fiber / coaxial / or RS-485  Advantech also has a module to support all these interfaces.

18. Lots of Opportunities…
Besides
Power Generation
Noticeable Heavy Industry
Metallurgy
Petro chemistry
Aluminum
There are many potential opportunities, such as
1. New energy opportunity, once they have any type power generation, they need substation infrastructure as well.
2. Lots of heavy industries: such application can not use normal power input but needs its own substation to provide necessary power for operation
