How to Deploy Smart Grid Applications to Combat Power Outages and
Cut Network Losses
Equipment failure, degradation and small-scale outages cost utilities money - an estimated $150bn
every year in the US alone, according to research by the US Department of Energy. So how could a
suite of smart grid applications help improve grid reliability? Efficient and timely service-problem
identification gives a distribution system operator (DSO) the ability to predict and pre-empt outages
and poor service eliminating the need for the customer to call and report an outage. Proactive
maintenance, triggered by improved visibility of the network operation and performance, can lead to
avoidance of outages due to failed equipment. By installing intelligent, local applications, utilities
can also benefit from real-time, autonomous decision-making, where data can be shared across a
variety of devices and platforms in a smart grid.
Exemplifying the benefits of smart grid applications in a use-case scenario, this session will
demonstrate the potential advantages of using distributed intelligence and smart grid applications
to:
1) Proactively understand where there is network under stress to prevent outages
2) Use analytics to identify the consumer base and potential impacts and implement a prioritisation
mechanism for repairs.
3) Recognise more effectively when outages do happen, identifying problems more quickly and
impacting less consumers.
Featuring specialists from OSGP Alliance as well as OSGP Alliance utility members will share their
knowledge and experiences on how:

- Distributed control nodes identify and isolate issues, enabling rapid response.
- Automated problem identification can be incorporated into the smart grid to reduce
manpower and operational expenditure. - Distributed intelligence can work across different platforms and devices to save
implementation costs.
Cleaner, Smarter, Cheaper: Responding to Opportunities in a
Changing Energy System in Europe
Changing Energy System in Europe
- Why Europe can aim for much more RES by 2030 at similar costs
- Why gas plays a much smaller role in balancing the grid than currently
perceived, even as Europe retires coal, due to smart electrification and
demand side flexibility. - How the power sector can reduce emissions much faster and deeper
that the current 2DG pathway. - Why the EU is looking at deeper cuts by 2030 targets in lights of
WB2DG under the Paris Agreement.
