Wind and solar energy generation, however, poses significant integration challenges. With the launch of its web portal "IEC Global Standards for Smart Grid," the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) provides the basis for building safe and efficient Smart Grid projects. The grid transformation will also contribute to fulfil the energy and environmental targets in its service areas, by promoting energy efficiency, system integration of renewable energy sources and mass-scale rollout of electric vehicles. The two-year pilot will test the ability of new technologies to reduce customer outages, save customers money by improving the operational efficiency of the grid, and fully integrate renewable energy and electric vehicles into the grid. In addition to allowing for increased generation capacity, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the integrated platform can improve reliability and efficiency across the electric power system. Increasingly efficient in how we produce, distribute and use energy. Department of Public Utilities Announces Approval of National Grid's Smart Grid Pilot Program. Variable output, resource feeders served by a substation. Wind and solar energy are intermittent resources that can cause serious power grid reliability and stability issues while impacting electric service quality for businesses and consumers. In a recent article for Powergrid International, S&C's Troy Miller discusses the problem and talks about how smart grid technology offers a promising solution to the renewables integration challenge. However, as S&C's Troy Miller recently wrote for Powergrid International, integrating renewable energy supplies to the power grid poses significant challenges to broader adoption of renewable energy generation. Battelle staff developed the new Grid Command Distribution software internally as part of its work over the past two years as part of an ongoing smart grid demonstration project in Ohio: AEP Ohio's gridSMART program, sponsored by the DOE. Such solutions also incorporate sensing that can give give utilities greater visibility into how renewable distributed generation is impacting the grid, so utilities can better manage its effects.

Through its Central Maine Power Iberdrola is also involved in innovative projects such as the “Low Carbon Network Fund” programme to facilitate the integration of renewable generation sources into the British distribution grid. The potential efficiency gains and power distribution alternatives can also further strengthen the region's energy security as all GCC currently depend mostly on fossil fuels for their energy needs—and revenue. Funded by nearly $2.5 million in grants from Canada's ecoENERGY Innovation Initiative and Ontario's Smart Grid Fund, the project takes advantage of distributed intelligence technology to manage renewable energy generated by the community onto the power grid. The aim of Smart Grids is to optimise energy distribution and use, as well as integrate electricity from small and big producers and from renewable sources. The huge investment being made in smart meters on both continents will provide cities with a platform for energy efficiency improvements, new customer services, and network optimization. Energy and Environmental Affairs . Cities also provide important pilot environments for a range of smart grid innovations, including the integration of distributed renewable energy, support for EV charging, and the introduction of demand management programs.
