Additional Information
What Smart Grids will mean for Ireland
• Key Benefits by 2050 (Smart Grid Roadmap):
•
•
•
•
•
net reduction in energy imports of over 4.3 Mtoe,
savings of €2.4 - 5.2bn in direct fuel offset (imports)
Onshore wind generation will be able to supply up to 33,000 GWh of the total demand
(over 70%)
annual savings of over 13 million tonnes of CO2
More than 30,000 Irish jobs will be created by the implementation of smart grid
infrastructure and its associated technologies
• What will look different:
– Smart metering available to all consumers to enable them to manage their energy usage
and cost
– Active demand response by consumers, integrating more renewables and lowering
energy costs
– Reliable and operationally effective energy networks at reduced cost
– Integration of variable distributed generation, storage, and EVs on low voltage
distribution system
– Significant decarbonisation of electricity production leading to decarbonisation of other
sectors such as heat and transport, thereby helping achieve the 202020 targets and
beyond.
– Ireland will be leaders in Smart Grid development in areas of RD&D, Product and Service
development leading to increased added value and employment for the economy, North
and South.

Why are Smart Grids needed?
• The three main drivers of energy policy across the world: energy security,
affordability and climate change have created a paradigm shift in how
electricity networks are designed, built and operated, particularly with the
convergence of ICT and traditional electricity networks. In addition,
customers are becoming more involved in the energy system, not just for
energy savings but as producers as well.
• This has given rise to the concept of Smart Grid and a new ecosystem of
industry participants: adding ICT companies, data management and data
analytics to the existing traditional players.
• New technologies and techniques are continually emerging and being
developed to meet the challenges and no one sector or industry has all the
answers.
• In addition there are specific challenges unique to individual countries
which require tailored responses
• Smart Grid Ireland has been formed as a non-profit collaborative network
to provide the forum for that dialogue and support for the specific needs of
Ireland, North and South, to position Ireland as a leader in the
development of smart grids for the transformation of the energy sector and
to provide a stimulus for job creation.
Smart Grid Definition (EU)
• A Smart Grid is an electricity network that can cost efficiently integrate the
behaviour and actions of all users connected to it – generators, consumers
and those that do both – in order to ensure economically efficient,
sustainable power system with low losses and high levels of quality and
security of supply and safety.
•
A Smart Grid employs innovative products and services together with intelligent
monitoring, control, communication, and self-healing technologies in order to:
–
–
–
–
–
Better facilitate the connection and operation of generators of all sizes and technologies.
Allow consumers to play a part in optimising the operation of the system.
Provide consumers with greater information and options for how they use their supply.
Significantly reduce the environmental impact of the whole electricity supply system.
Maintain or even improve the existing high levels of system reliability, quality and
security of supply.
– Maintain and improve the existing services efficiently.
– Foster market integration towards European integrated market.

Smart Grid Definition and high level services
• A Smart Grid is an electricity network that can cost efficiently
integrate the behaviour and actions of all users connected to it
– generators, consumers and those that do both – in order to
ensure economically efficient, sustainable power system with
low losses and high levels of quality and security of supply
and safety.

Enabling the network to integrate users with new requirements
Enhancing efficiency in day-to-day grid operation
Ensuring network security, system control and quality of supply
Enabling better planning of future network investment
Improving market functioning and customer service
Enabling and encouraging stronger and more direct involvement of
consumers in their energy usage and management
A -Enabling the network to integrate users
with new requirements
• Outcome: Guarantee the integration of distributed
energy resources (both large and small-scale
intermittent renewable generation, heat pumps,
electric vehicles and storage) connected to the
distribution network.
• Provider: DSOs
• Primary beneficiaries: Generators, consumers
(including mobile consumers), storage owners.
B. Enhancing efficiency in day-to-day grid operation
• Outcome: Optimise the operation of distribution assets and
improve the efficiency of the network through enhanced
automation, monitoring, protection and real time operation.
Faster fault identification/resolution will help improve
continuity of supply levels.
• Better understanding and management of technical and nontechnical losses, and optimised asset maintenance activities
based on detailed operational information.
• Provider: DSOs, metering operators
• Primary beneficiaries: Consumers, generators, suppliers, DSOs
C. Ensuring network security, system control and
quality of supply
• Outcome: Foster system security through an intelligent and
more effective control of distributed energy resources,
ancillary back-up reserves and other ancillary services.
Maximise the capability of the network to manage
intermittent generation, without adversely affecting quality of
supply parameters.
• Provider: DSOs, aggregators, suppliers.
• Primary beneficiaries: Generators, consumers, aggregators,
DSOs, TSOs
D. Enabling better planning of future network
investment
• Outcome: Collection and use of data to enable more accurate
modelling of networks especially at LV level, also taking into
account new grid users, in order to optimise infrastructure
requirements and so reduce their environmental impact.
Introduction of new methodologies for more ‘active’
distribution, exploiting active and reactive control capabilities
of distributed energy resources.
• Provider: DSOs, metering operators.
• Primary beneficiaries: Consumers, generators, storage owners
E. Improving market functioning and customer service
• Outcome: Increase the performance and reliability of current
market processes through improved data and data flows
between market participants, and so enhance customer
experience.
• Provider: Suppliers (with applications and services providers),
power exchange platform providers, DSOs, metering
operators.
• Primary beneficiaries: Consumers, suppliers, applications and
services providers
Enabling and encouraging stronger and more direct
involvement of consumers in their
energy usage and management
•
•
Outcome: Foster greater consumption awareness taking advantage of smart
metering systems and improved customer information, in order to allow consumers
to modify their behaviour according to price and load signals and related
information.
Promote the active participation of all actors to the electricity market, through
demand response programmes and a more effective management of the variable and
non-programmable generation. Obtain the consequent system benefits: peak
reduction, reduced network investments, ability to integrate more intermittent
generation.
•
Provider: Suppliers (with metering operators and DSOs), ESCOs.
•
Primary beneficiaries: Consumers, generators. Indeed, consumers will benefit:
– either because these services will contribute to the 20/20/20 targets
– or directly through improvement of quality of supply and other services
•
The hypothesis made here is that company efficiency and the benefit of the
competitive market will be passed to consumers– at least partly - in the form of
tariff or price optimisation, and is dependent on effective regulation and markets.
