1. Smart grid & Dynamic Demand The Centre for Carbon Measurement reduces uncertainties in climate data, provides the robust measurement that is required to account for, price and trade carbon emissions and helps develop and accelerate the take up of low carbon technologies. Localised Energy Systems: Challenges and Opportunities, 27 th March 2014

2. Going smart…

3. Smart grid measurement tools Better PQ Diagnostics Reduced Faults Grid Planning Grid stability: Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) “Life support monitors” of Smart Grids Synchronized by GPS used to monitor grid stability Fewer Blackouts Stability Control Power quality: How do PQ disturbances propagate through networks ? Develop a PQ disturbance location method Active network management: Sensor Networks Sensors everywhere? – cost, maintenance and “drown” in data Optimised sensor placement

4. Dynamic Demand Challenge Prize Create a new product, technology or service that utilises data to significantly improve the ability of households or small businesses to demonstrate measurable reduction in carbon emissions by shifting energy demand to off peak times or towards excess renewable generation. Expected outcomes: Demonstrable shift in peak usage to off peak times Measureable reduction in CO 2 emissions Responsiveness to dynamics of supply of renewable energy
