Abstract
The term Smart Grid has become a term to represent the benefits of a smart and sophisticated electrical grid, which can meet various social expectations related to sustainability and energy efficiency. The Smart Grid promises to enable a better power management for energy utilities and consumers, to provide the ability to integrate the power grid, to support the development of micro grids, and to involve citizens in energy management with higher levels of responsibility. However, this context comes with potential pitfalls, such as vulnerabilities to cyber-security and privacy risks. In this article, a prospective study about energy management, and exploring critical issues of modeling of energy management systems in a context Smart. Grid is presented along with background of energy management systems. An analysis of the demand response condition is also presented. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of energy management systems, and a comparison with the Brazilian electricity system are discussed.
Highlights
Electric energy is essential to increase productivity and ensure a high quality of life; the relationship between electric power and economic growth is crucial
Direct Load Control (DLC) is the method most used by energy utilities in Brazil to manage peak demand in the residential sector, where consumer loads are adjusted in time during peak network events [4] [5]
Up recognizing the very different perspectives and priorities of individuals and organizations involved in the electrical system, the authors propose a broad analysis through a prospective study to examine the different ways for the Smart Grid meeting the demands and developments of society
Summary
Electric energy is essential to increase productivity and ensure a high quality of life; the relationship between electric power and economic growth is crucial. Demand response is one way to deal with peak events and avoid overload on the grid by providing the necessary flexibility through load displacement [2] [3]. Direct Load Control (DLC) is the method most used by energy utilities in Brazil to manage peak demand in the residential sector, where consumer loads are adjusted in time during peak network events [4] [5]. Up recognizing the very different perspectives and priorities of individuals and organizations involved in the electrical system, the authors propose a broad analysis through a prospective study to examine the different ways for the Smart Grid meeting the demands and developments of society. This study focuses on comparing the development of “Smart Grid” in different regions of the world and demonstrating the commitment of these countries to change the social and political contexts and expectations, which often are shaped by specific regions, goals and available resources
