Time & Timing within Power Systems
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 20103
Background in Power Generation
Aghada
– Conventional Gas Fired + CCGT
Tarbert
– Conventional Oil fired
– Now owned by Endesa
Moneypoint
– Conventional Coal fired 1000 MW
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 20106
Time & Timing within Power Systems
Time Synch– Distributed Control System
Millisecond level reqd for precise chronological event diagnosis
– Power Line Fault Detection Microsecond or better
– SCADA systems
Timing Synch– 2v3 voting systems
– Generator synch to transmission network

SCADA
Supervisory, Control & Data Acquisition
Key component of Electrical Grid
Infrastructure
– 2 parallel networks
Transmission lines (LV/MV/HV)
Associated SCADA communications infrastructure
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 201012
Traditional Grid
One directional & predictable power flows
Generator HV MV LV Consumer
SCADA
– Limited need for data communications
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 201014
Smart Grid : Definition ?
Visionary Revolutionary
– Complete Infrastructural Overhaul
Engineer Evolutionary
– By necessity
Continuity, Robustness, Safety Critical concerns
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 201015
Smart Grid : Context
Over-reliance on fossil fuel sourced energy
Diminishing fossil fuel reserves
– Focus on renewables
Security of supply
Deregulation
Environmental Concerns
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 201016
Generation
Renewable
– Predictable ?
CHP
Microgeneration
V2G
Distributed generation
New grid design & operation required Grid Infrastructure Investment
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 201018
Smart Networks
Radically different generation landscape
Much more dynamic
Need for precise realtime measurement,
control & protection
Hierarchical SCADA systems
Phasor Measurement Units
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 201019
Smart Metering
You cannot control
what you don’t
understand
Realtime energy
demand profile
Realtime pricing
Realtime incentives
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 201021
Smart Buildings
You cannot control what you don’t
understand
Energy Management Systems
Building Management Systems
Demand Side Management
Sensor networks
Dr. Hugh Melvin, NUI Galway : ITSF Dublin 201022
Conclusion
SmartGrid is multi-faceted & ambitious
Iterative deployment likely
ICT is key enabler
Time & Timing Synch are critical
ESB Networks at forefront of SmartGrid
deployment
