The Smart Grid from the perspective of an Electrician

COMMUNICATION

ENERGY

ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURESlide4

The devices in the systems installed today communicate with themselves in a closed network.

What will consumers demand? A furnace, hot water heater, or dryer communicating with the utility? What communication specifications will the devices and Utility call for?

ZigBee

,

WiFi, Cellular, or something else.

The Smart Grid will build on the systems being installed today, adding communication between the consumers and the utility.

Preparing for the Smart GridSlide5

Preparing for the Smart Grid

Communication

Current training includes: Building Automation, PLC’s, Motor Controls and Network Cabling

Classes in the very near future: Advanced Lighting Controls and Electric VehiclesSlide6

NEW JOBS

from smart grid deployment

Market drivers = Incentives, Increased energy costs, “Tree hugger “

Without Utility or other incentive packages encouraging consumers to adopt “smart grid” devices we would only expect a slow up tick in this area.

Decentralizing of the grid will continue as home and business owners continue to add renewable energy sources. Driven by incentives, increased energy cost Slide8

Conservation Carrots

Before considering additional power generation conservation must be the priority.

Much more $$$ can be saved through conservation

Change consumers behavior by installing devices that make them aware of their energy usage. Gas gauge for the house. Slide9
