Do We See New Technologies as a Threat or an Opportunity?

Špindlerův Mlýn, 17.4.2013Martin Michek

Energetics - an Integral Part of the Present

2

„Energy is what sets everything in motion.” Aristotle

Energy is the driving force behind progress

From Where Do We Gofrom a historical point of view, energy is a very young invention

1799 – invention of the first battery – Alesandro Volta

1881 - first public bulb lighting was installed in England and the USA

1887 - first urban lighting in the Czech Republic – Jindřichův Hradec and shortly afterwards Písek

3

1919 - act of power companies establishment. Formation of 20 power companies

interconnected transmission system - western and eastern cooperation

1963 – entry of Czechoslovakia into the system called MIR

1995 - interconnection with Western European system after meeting a number of technical conditions for the operation of the grid and change the principle of regulation of turbines in power plants

Currently, electricity is a common and essential part of people's lives.

Where Are We?direction from a small decentralized energetics into a centralized system

4

great resources

transmission system distribution system customer

central control of balance in power system

Where Are We Going?What are the influences on the power system in the Czech Republic?

SuperGrid construction (Europe, Asia, Africa)

reduction of control performance EHV and HV

local production increase / RES

e-mobility, cooling systems, control systems

electricity storage

retreat from the energy-demanding appliances

Logan CHP unit designed to produce electrical current (19 to 240 kWe) and

heat (34 to 374 kWt)

Škoda Octavia Green E Line Siemens containers for electricity storage

What Are We Afraid of? What are the requirements for the delivery of EE?

EE's competitiveness with other energies RES - unstable production / not guaranteed building of any resources in the basic and the peak band unpredictable overflow of electricity from abroad increasing trend of blackouts risk

6

ASEK

Supply and quality guarantee is ensured by network operators

7

Electric Energy – Guaranteed Service- rising of supply quality

Influences of the EU

focus on savings 20/20/20 liberalization of the electricity market today - the green lobby, decarbonisation

      - growth of energy prices (ETS, RES, CCS, ...) National studies AMM (Directive No. 72/2009/ES and No. 73/2009/ES) Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU) pressure to increase the RES share (30%)

8

The solution for the Czech Republic - going its own way, setting its own meaningful concept

My Point of View ?

Do only those steps that will bring us added value

•building intelligent systems as an integral part of network systems•benefits for the whole sector - balanced approach•prices of new technologies are falling, prices of old technologies are rising•quality of new technologies grows•the existence of a certain degree of standardization (interoperability ....)•standardization of the whole solution can not be expected

9

Balanced Environment? - benefits for the whole energy sector

10

DEALER•new business tariffs

•new approaches to changing population

CUSTOMER•higher quality and stability of supply

•new possibilities for Smart Home

DISTRIBUTOR•reducing negative impacts on the DN

•increasing operational efficiency DN

PUBLIC•blackout prevention

•enviromental benefits

ELECTRICITY MARKET OPERATOR

•higher data granularity

•higher accuracy, TDD compensation

ENERGY REGULATORY

AUTHORITY•implementation of EU directives and ASEK

•higher targeting accuracy and control

DN = Distribution network

Problematic Area of AMM Implementation in the Czech Republic

11

reliability of the technical solution under conditions for the Czech republic

ensuring full compensation / cooperation with HDO

ensuring the security of the transmission and data processing

solving of power problem of delivery points

improving mobile operators´network / guarantee

uniform standard of measurement and communication technologies / interoperability

Which Way Forward?

change of engineers´ thinking, customers raise public awareness dynamic management of LV, MV, HV suspensible power management, cooling, e-mobility, storage shift in management onto meters into smaller geographic units,

greater decentralization local / island operation installation of important points DSN- DS, production, nodal points preparation for future implementation of AMM under suitable

conditions for the Czech Republic

12

Condition of Building a Linked Central Management System

13

Implementation of Intelligent Systems in Substations

manual operation with continuous process monitoring service, implementation of new technologies simulation of optimal operation / service support operation automatization with supervision of the operators automatic operation

What Will It Give Us / What Can We Achieve ?

Short-term horizondistribution system monitoring at nodal pointsoptimization of load area network elementsidentification of weak pointsprediction of failure statushigher operational efficiency of distribution system

Long-term horizonsimulation of conditions in distribution system suitable level of operational automation

Impacts on the Electricity Industry

NEGATIVEconsumtion control for EHV

consumtion control for HV

static take off control

financial competitiveness

local production

energy overflows

resource recovery

resource mixture

unbundling

energy savings

POSITIVElocal control

electromobility

new tariffs (SM)

LV dispatching

monitoring

simulation

higher supply quality

Is It Time ???

higher targeting of capital expenditures reducing the range of operating interventions higher efficiency and quality of supplies increasing of return on invested capital
