Smart Grid A gigantic universe waiting to be explored in Brazil 7
Goals Make traditional electricity grids: more efficient and reliable more adaptable to the consumer s profile (Electricity can be used in a more rational, sustainable way) Clear regulatory guidelines on the meters Encourage consumers to be more interactive as regards their consumption 8
Brazil in terms of smart grid deployment Installation of smart metering in consumers connected in low voltage level (220 V 127 V) 68 millions consumer Units Regulation in two stages Stage 1: Determine the minimum requirements for the meters Stage 2: Define the way the roll-out will be developed 9
Meters in the spotlight Smart grid is much more than just the meter The entire structure serves to process and transfer data; and where does the data come from? FROM THE METER Without a communications system the data gathered by the meter serves no purpose The goal is: Get the regulations drawn up now so that industry can start manufacturing Then, once they ve been manufactured, they ll have to be certified by the metrology bodies, in this case by INMETRO Then they can be put on the market 10
Key Drivers to Smart G Key Drivers to Smart Grid rid World Brazil Reduction of CO 2 Reduction of energy consumption Grids more efficient and reliable Reduce energy losses We have to develop our own solution!!! Reduction of Opex (economy efficiency) Reduce peak load (time-ofuse tariffs) 11
Energy quality Reduction of the number of blackouts From the six biggest blackouts occurrences in the world since 1965, three are from Brazil: Nov,3, 1999: 97 million consumers out Oct,11,2009: 60 million consumers out Mar,2,2011: 53 million consumers out 12
Energy quality DEC & FEC BRAZIL 2001/2013 13
Energy losses 32% 20% 21% 9% 5% 18% Distribution losses 20% 10% Non-technical losses 12% 3% 14
Reduce peak load (time-of-use tariffs) White tariff for the low voltage level consumer 15
Regulation Actions to Smart Grid Set/2008 Jan - Apr/2009 Set-Nov/2010 JUL/2012 Open Meeting of the Board of Directors Public Hearings nº 43/2010 Public Consultation nº 15/2009 International Seminar in Digital Metering 16
Public Consultation nº 43/2010 Metering Minimum Requirements Technical measurements Complementary functions Communication system Information available to the consumer 17
Public Consultation nº 43/2010 Technical measurements Voltage level Active energy consumption Reactive energy requirement Complementary functions Record of frequency of supply interruptions Record of duration of supply interruptions Record of duration of voltage level violations Ability of applying 4 tariff periods per day Ability of being controlled and read remotely 18
Public Consultation nº 43/2010 Communication system Bidirectional communication system between the meter and the central system, chosen by the utility Public communication protocol Information available to the consumer Access by a display at the meter Measurements active and reactive energy Tariff period identification Information on service quality (interruptions) 19

R&D Smart Grid Projects Smart metering of electricity, including new models and testing new features of electronic meters; Distribution Automation systems including supervision of the distribution networks; Distributed generation, micro generation and Micro grids; Distributed storage systems and batteries; Plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles and charging systems and associated monitoring; Telecom for Smart Grid; Information Technology for Smart Grid, including back office systems; Smart buildings and homes and consumer interaction with the Smart Grid; New services for the end user on a Smart Grid, such as measurement of water and gas, security, communications and energy efficiency. Total of: 178 projects Summing about:us$ 207 million* 23 *R$ 1,00 = US$ 1,98

Next Steps... Prepayment meter Distributed microgeneration Every residential unit that consumes electricity will also become a producer of electricity o Injecting power right to where it s needed, helps stabilize the system and reduce losses The market is concerned about the costs, but any innovation brings out the reluctance and fears of those who are already operating in the market in question. 25
