Publication Overview This report provides valuable insight into the key trends taking place in terms of worldwide smart grid development. The report explores the concept of smart grids in terms of the larger global picture by drawing on the unique strategic vision BuddeComm has developed in this emerging sector. The report provides an overview of the current smart grid and smart meter industry and also explores the issues impacting on consumer perception. It discusses smart grids in relation to the Copenhagen Summit and smart energy in terms of distributed (renewable) energy. Smart grids are a key element in the development of Smart Cities and the report provides insight into Smart City developments and the broader Communications Revolution taking place. Subjects covered include:
Executive Summary Smart Grid development involves many different elements Smart grids are now well and truly on the agenda of most electricity companies around the world - and indeed on many of their governments’ political agendas. It has become increasingly clear that smart grids are able to transform the energy industry, and that a much broader group of industries are also affected by this, such as the IT, telecoms, white goods, renewables, management consultants, storage and transport sectors. The electricity grid is becoming the enabler in many industry changes, and by making it an intelligent grid and adding telecoms to it, the power will shift away from the electricity companies to the customers ? and the appliances that will be developed will assist this process; some of that on a machine-to-machine (M2M) basis. For more information, see chapter 1.1, page 1 - Global smart grids ? overview and insights While progress has certainly been made in the development of smart grids; it is important to note that due to its very nature, the concept continues to be ill-defined and rather fluid. This makes it difficult to develop firm plans of action, especially when considering that smart grids involve several key elements ? the grid itself, the consumer home energy network, and the facility to include and manage renewable energy and e-cars. For more information, see chapter 1.2, page 10 ? An industry in transformation The electricity utilities started off with one of the smart grid elements, the smart meter, and that still dominates many of the developments. At the same time, it does to a certain extent; limit more truly ‘smart’ developments. However smart meters do have the ability to enable more complex time and usage-based tariffs, which will drive change in customer behaviour and create increased opportunity for differentiation by the utilities. They also set the stage for greater use of discounts and incentives, and a wider range of product offerings, including micro-generation and non-energy products. For more information, see chapter 2.2, page 20 ? Smart meters- overview and insights Unfortunately, marketing the benefits to the customer has been something of an afterthought in the development of smart meters and smart grids, and the industry is paying dearly for that oversight. There appears to be very little interest among customers in regards to smart grids and smart meters, and this is mainly because the benefits have not been communicated well to consumers. Perhaps if the industry had had a smart grid vision instead of a smart meter vision, they would have been able to explain to the customer that they would be provided with tools that would enable them to manage their energy use better. This would result in saving energy which would ultimately lower the costs - to such an extent that it could even lead to a neutral outcome in relation to the ever-increasing electricity prices. For more information, see chapter 2.1, page 15- Smart grids and consumer issues Environmental policy remains one the key global problems being faced around the world. While the climate change issue has dropped off the headlines, it is still very high on most countries agendas. With fossil fuel energy being the single largest culprit in the problem, no matter how one looks at this issue, the overriding solution is to move as quickly as possible away from fossil fuels to renewables. A significantly large part of the population is interested in lowering their CO2 footprint. Furthermore there is evidence that this and other energy saving measures can lead to overall savings of around 30%. This could largely offset the increases in electricity prices. Disruptive energy developments from new energy service providers which will lead to the development of new business models around distributed (renewable) energy, will also add to the dynamics of this emerging market. For more information, see chapter 3.2, page 28- Smart grids and renewables The Copenhagen Summit was the first global event where countries came together to address a common cause. This in itself was an enormous achievement- a beacon to illuminate future global policy-making. The complex dynamic surrounding the carbon price still needs to be resolved, but it also became clear that smaller steps are necessary, and that now is the time to try and create some wins here, particularly in the area of smart energy. In other words, can we save energy through smart grids, smart infrastructure, smart buildings, smart transport and smart cities? For more information, see chapter 3.1, page 25- Smart grids after the Copenhagen Summit The concept of smart cities and smart communities is based on intelligent infrastructure such as broadband (FttH) and smart grids, so that connected and sustainable communities can be developed. However, before these smart communities can be built, trans-sector policies and strategies need to be developed. They can’t be built from the current silo structure that dominates our thinking; rather it requires a holistic approach which includes environmental issues such as energy self sufficient buildings, energy exchanges for renewable energy and e-cars, delivery of e-health, e-education, e-government services as well as digital media and Internet services. For more information, see chapter 4.2, page 37- Overview of smart cities The communications revolution is an important element of the broader ICT revolution, and it is unfolding before our very eyes. We are right in the middle of a transition from old communications structures to new intelligent structures that are fully interactive and video-based. This is not simply a technology-based development- it brings with it massive changes to the way we live, work and communicate. It impacts on healthcare and education, as well as on environmental services such as smart electricity grids. This necessitates collaboration between the various industries such as utilities, telcos, IT, vendors and consultants. As well as the benefits the transformation brings to the nation, it also brings with it massive new business opportunities. The energy industry will be one of the last on the planet to be affected by the ICT revolution and a total business transformation will be required over the next 5-10 years.
