Energy scenarios

Oil and Energy Demand – pre-crisis GDP, existing regulations on light vehicles fuel efficiency, 14% EV share by 2020, existing regulations on energy productivity.

Oil and Energy Demand – severe downturn, EU standards on light vehicles fuel efficiency for all oil importing countries, 25% EV share by 2020, existing regulations on energy productivity.

Energy priorities

• Drivers: environmental and economical concerns

• Priorities: lower pollutants, lower costs, higher efficiencies, quicker NPI, higher quality, global markets, services growth

• Environmental ‘metrics’: CO2 reduction, NOx reduction, effluent reduction, material savings, efficiency increase

Smart gridA Smart Grid is one that incorporates information and communications technology into every aspect of electricity generation, delivery (Transmission & Distribution) and consumption in order to:

•minimize environmental impact•improve reliability and service•reduce costs and improve efficiency

Source: EPRI

Imagine…• Distribution…only technical

losses

• Outages…Self healing

• Grid…Stable with Renewables

• Transformers…Prolonged life

• Voltages…Stable & high

quality

• Customer…Zero electricity

cost

• Network…Uniform load

• Transfer of power…

Seamless

Smart grid infrastructure…

…delivering Building Blocks today

Smart…Learning from Biological Systems

Dendrites – Collect Information

Axon – Distribute Information

Soma – Process Information

Neuron: Analog, Unique, Learning, Massively Networked DNA: Digital, Copied, Stable, Massively Distributed

Wind: Leverage the 45 GW Indian Wind Corridor
