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

Energetics - an Integral Part of the Present

„Energy is what sets everything in motion.”

Aristotle

Energy is the driving force behind progress

1

From Where Do We Go

from 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   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

great resources transmission system distribution system central control of balance in power system customer

3

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?

ASEK Supply and quality guarantee is ensured by network operators

    

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

Electric Energy – Guaranteed Service

- rising of supply quality 6

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%)

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

7

My Point of View ?

Do only those steps that will bring us added value

6.

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 8

Balanced Environment?

- benefits for the whole energy sector • •

PUBLIC blackout prevention enviromental benefits

• •

CUSTOMER higher quality and stability of supply new possibilities for Smart Home

• •

ELECTRICITY MARKET OPERATOR higher data granularity higher accuracy, TDD compensation

• •

DEALER new business tariffs new approaches to changing population

• •

ENERGY REGULATORY AUTHORITY implementation of EU directives and ASEK higher targeting accuracy and control DISTRIBUTOR

• •

reducing negative impacts on the DN increasing operational efficiency DN

DN = Distribution network 9

Problematic Area of AMM Implementation in the Czech Republic

     

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

10

Which Way Forward?

Strategic planning Sustainability        

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

Active approach Predictability 11

Condition of Building a Linked Central Management System

12

Implementation of Intelligent Systems in Substations 1920

     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

1950 1990 2010 2013

13

What Will It Give Us / What Can We Achieve ?

Short-term horizon

     distribution system monitoring at nodal points optimization of load area network elements identification of weak points prediction of failure status higher operational efficiency of distribution system

Long-term horizon

  simulation of conditions in distribution system suitable level of operational automation 14

Impacts on the Electricity Industry

      

POSITIVE local control electromobility new tariffs (SM) LV dispatching monitoring simulation higher supply quality

         

NEGATIVE consumtion control for EHV consumtion control for HV static take off control financial competitiveness local production energy overflows resource recovery resource mixture unbundling energy savings

15

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 16
