1. Introduction
Energy has been opined to be a major driver for any economy with its lack impeding societal
development [1-4]. Though not explicitly stated, it was posited to be instrumental to the full
realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The significant growth witnessed in
China, Singapore, Malaysia, United States of America (USA) and OECD countries etc. could be
attributed to the fact that these economies have a huge per capita of electricity compared to the
countries in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) and South East Asia (SEA) who have over 850 million
persons without access to electricity [5, 6]. The Figure 1-1 [7] shows a comparison between
some developed countries/regions and under developed/developing countries/region with respect
to electricity access while Figure 1-2 [8] shows the electricity per capita for the same
countries/regions. The low electricity access for the SSA region is seen to be less than 40% of its
overall population compared to 100% for the OECD countries and USA. This obvious electricity
Fig 1-2: per capita electricity consumption (kWh) for selected regions
(energy) deficiency for the SSA and SEA regions has also seen a decline in economic growth for
these economies due to the huge costs involved in running their industries.
Fossil fuels have continuously played a huge role in driving the generators and power houses
responsible for electricity generation in the developed economies due to their cheap nature and
advanced technology in this sector. However, recent occurrences bordering on energy security
and sufficiency seem to cast doubts on the viability and sustainability of this cheap source of
energy [9] as their harmful effect on the environment alludes to the fact that in order to safeguard
the quality of life of the future generations, cleaner and more efficient energy sources be evolved.
Stimulated by environmental concerns as regards climate change and the growing pressure to
reduce carbon emissions from the energy sector, there has been a heightened global interests in
renewables [10-12] alongside new and efficient technologies [13] with a substantial commitment
to the development and deployment of these technologies. This is consequent upon the fact that
sustainable development is only feasible when there is an un-harmful synergy between the
environment, economy and energy as shown in Figure 1-3 [14, 15].

Traditionally, the movement of electricity from the generation station to the consumer is shown
in the Figure 1-4. It is observed from the Figure 1-4 [15] that electricity movement is
unidirectional and involves huge losses down the electricity transfer network as shown in the
Figure 1-5 [16]. The consideration of renewables however as an alternative to fossil fuel based
electricity generation has seen adjustments being made to the movement of electricity as the
incorporation of these renewable energy sources (RES) means generation could be injected as
either the generation entry point or the distribution point. Similarly, the introduction of such
schemes as the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) and grid coupled inverters mean consumers could also
become electricity producers (leading to the evolution of the so called prosumers). This
injection of electricity at these points different from the generation side takes advantage of the
fact that electricity is bi-directional in movement depending on net energy balance as it flows to
establish equilibrium. This bi-directional movement of electricity is thus shown in the Figure 1-6
[15] with Figure 1-7 showing the exploded traditional grid architecture.

It can thus be seen that the complexity of this system is also further complicated considering the
fact that electricity cannot be easily stored and a lot of institutions, companies, industries and
service oriented organizations like hospitals, clinics, transport etc. depend solely on the grid to
carry out their activities and a failure in the grid supply will initiate a torrent of problems. The
exploded architecture for such a complex grid call the smart grid is shown in the Figure 1-9. The
Figure 1-9 shows the role of ICT in facilitating the operations of the smart grid. From the Figure
1-9, a smart grid controller is introduced to harness the outputs of the other subsystems. Artificial
intelligence (AI) is also seen to be of great importance in the prediction and modelling of such
parameters as wind speed, solar radiation, demand profile, supply potential prediction etc.
Similarly, the generation controller block controls the generation from plants based on advanced
information from the controller etc. Other subsystems like the advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI), Demand Response (DR), Dynamic Pricing (DP), Communications control etc. are also
incorporated to ensure that system balance is ensured.
The two way communication between the consumers and the grid is also maintained through the
smart meters which communicate to users their consumption patterns, current prices etc. This
report thus aims at providing a thorough and summarized description of the major subsystems
that make up the smart grid and how they interact across the smart grid network. Section 2
introduces the concept of smart generation techniques such as distributed generation, microgrids,
virtual power plants etc. Section 3 provides a detailed review of energy management techniques
for the consumer side traversing such areas as energy management techniques and its growth,
demand side management (DSM), dynamic pricing etc. Section 4 examines the role of
government and regulatory institutions in ensuring a safe operation of the smart grid examining
policies ranging from fair trading to privacy issues, grid codes, standards etc. Section 5 examines
some smart grid initiatives being localized for localization in SSA and SEA considering the fact
that they have a bulk of the persons without access to electricity. This section further explores the
financial initiatives and technical frameworks being set up to encourage the proliferation of
electricity. Section 6 examines the current status of the smart grid using selected case studies
while providing a chart for its future progress with section 7 concluding the report.
2. Generation techniques
Electricity generation in the smart grid differs from electricity generation in the traditional grid.
In the traditional grid, generation is based on assumed full demand resulting in under-utilization
of the generation plants and fuel wastage since there is better fuel utilization at rated capacity.
However, in the smart grid, generation is controlled based on predetermined demand. This way
the need for spinning reserve is usually reduced. Also, in the envisioned smart grid attention is
shifted from the conventional means (fossil fuels) of electricity generation to more
environmentally friendly and sustainable means of electricity generation like wind, solar and
biomass (though there has been a heightened interest in gas in recent times). The advantage of
this newer means of electricity generation being considered (solar and wind) lies in the fact that
supply from them could be dispatched (scaled) based on competing factors like demand, cost etc.
The integration of these RES is also facilitated by power electronics that handle the variations
they introduce in voltage and frequency. An additional difference here is the fact that generation
is not only from the generation point but across the electricity network (storage, consumers etc.).
This flexibility of generation in the smart grid sets it apart from the traditional grid. Biomass for
example is gaining interest as a means to meeting the European Union (EU) goals on reduction
in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to its little start-up capital investment and dispatch able
nature. In Canada, there were 23 active biomass to electricity projects as at March 2013 with a
combined capacity of about 18.7 MW. Iskandar Malaysia (IM) hopes to buoy its RE contribution
to 6% of total generation in 2015 with further investments meant to increase this to 10% in 2020
and 12% by 2025. In all these, biomass is being posited to play a critical role in its RE electricity
generation [20-22]. Electricity generation from the sun through photovoltaic (PV) technology is
also a major RES. In fact, solar energy is posited to be the most abundant form of energy with
the sun being an obviously clean and cheap energy source. As at 2005, installed PV capacity
worldwide was an estimated 1.5 GW. Furthermore, it is reported that the hourly solar radiation
reaching the earth if harnessed could meet the energy demands of the worlds population for a
year. The utilization of RES at local places could be exploited using a number of technologies. A
couple of these are described subsequently [23-25].
2.1.
The concept of embedded generation (DG) stems from the fact that generating electricity at load
centres reduces transmission and distribution losses. As a component of the smart grid, DGs
greatly encourage the exploitation of local resources. Furthermore, they can also be incorporated
into the existing grid or operated as stand-alone devices. Familiar terms associated with DG
include distributed energy resources (DERs), microgrids, virtual power plants (VPPs), small
scale energy zones (SSEZ) etc. According to [15], the infrastructure that facilitates the synergy
between DG and storage is referred to as distributed energy resources (DERs). Various
definitions have been put forward describing the VPP. They have been described as energy
mangers that hire DERs to profit maximally from their exploitation [26], to a primary vehicle
that is capable of delivering the most efficient cost integration of DERs [13]. A more robust
definition for the VPP was put forward by [15] as intelligent autonomous system equipped with
advanced metering infrastructures, information and communication technologies, energy
management systems and a host of other smart devices that aggregates dispersed energy
resources, distributed generation units and renewable energy sources in a bid to creating a virtual
pool of power with uses varying from meeting supply shortfall to supplying isolated areas and
for other purposes as defined by the reasons behind its design while meeting all technical, cost
and future constraints. This exhaustive description aims at anticipating future needs and
upgrades and providing an avenue for such in the VPP design. In conveying the description of
the VPP put forward by [26], the Figure 2-1 provides an apt overview of the VPP.

3. Energy Management
Energy management is actually a core in the smart grid development since the overall aim of the
smart grid initiative is to discourage the need for the creation of bigger and additional generation
plants. The smart grid initiative is premised on among other facts the idea that with the
consumers being more aware of their energy consumption pattern in real time and with other
subtle prodding techniques, they (the consumers) could adjust their consumption pattern to show
a more environmentally friendly attitude in terms of consumption. This has led to the
development of a metering infrastructure that has seen an increase in associated technology like
smart meters [27, 28], energy meters [29-31] and human computer interactive (HCI) devices [3234] which inform users on their consumption profile, carbon emissions, efficiency of
consumption etc. Furthermore, there has been the introduction of demand side management
(DSM) technique like dynamic pricing (DP) [35-37], time of use pricing (ToU) [38], time of day
pricing (ToD), demand response (DR) [39-42] etc. Additional initiatives have seen the increase in
more energy efficient electrical devices like light bulbs, refrigerators, entertainment devices etc.
The interaction between the EMS and the smart home is shown in the Figure 3-1. These various
sub-components of the smart grid are discussed subsequently.

Smart meters
These are energy meters fitted with electronic components that enable the meter to produce very
time specific reports to the consumer and the distributor the advantage of which is to enable the
prosumer actually improve on their power consumption behaviours and contribute their own
quota to making the grid more efficient as well as improve grid stability and security. They form
a conspicuous part of the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and are fitted with
communication equipment that enables a lot of flexibility with the use and control of power
supply by the consumer. Smart meters support data reporting and registration, send messages to
the consumer, allow for remote supply control by the consumer and accommodate different
tariffs as well as support credit and pre-payment modes [43].
3.2.
DSM forms an integral component of the energy management system (EMS) as it basically seeks
to influence the consumer consumption pattern subtly through such means as DP, HCI devices
etc. In [33], a persuasive smart energy management system (PSEMS) was developed to act as an
intermediary between prepaid meters and the consumer distribution board. The aim of this
DSM/HCI component is to provide electricity consumers control over how much they spend on
electricity on daily basis. Though such a scheme was applied in SSA, it has immense potentials
in the developed world since existing smart meters and HCI devices merely inform the
consumers rather than giving them control over how much they could spend on electricity.
3.3.
Energy efficiency
In a report by the IEA, energy providers are opined to be a major driver in ensuring efficiency
limits is met. For example, in meeting the energy efficiency obligations (EEO), Efficientia a
subsidiary of CEMIG (the Brazilian electricity distribution company) is obliged to spend about
0.05% of annual revenues on efficiency projects. Similarly, HEPA SpA provides free consultancy
services to large industrial operators in the area of energy measurement and valuation which is
aimed at helping them reduce energy wastage while in China; a government policy mandates
regions to maintain a 0.3% reduction in peak demand of preceding year. Similarly, the
incorporation of smart devices for lighting and carbon limits also enforces efficiency from
consumers and buildings.
3.4.
The feed-in Tariff (FiT) system is one of the most lucrative incentives prosumers stand to gain
from since the smart grid is aimed at providing more reliable and cheaper power supply to
prosumers. The feed in tariff is the extra included in the deal. You dont just get cheaper power,
you also get paid when you generate more power than you prosume (the process of consuming
energy smartly and efficiently). The extra generated energy by whatever means, usually solar,
entitles the prosumer to some payment by the utility company. This is one way that the smart
grid integrates the prosumer and makes the prosumer better off than a consumer. In a study,
feed-in tariffs showed a five percent reduction on the demand side and had a potential to cause a
7-15% reduction in the local marginal price of electricity.
3.5.
Energy storage
Storage is an important component of the emerging smart grid as it provides a backup in the
event of grid failure to sensitive sectors like healthcare, communications, defence etc. While the
conventional idea of storage refers to batteries etc., consumers in a smart grid scenario could be
classified as storage (if they participate in a demand response (DR)) scenario. The idea of this
flexible storage is to be able to dispatch these remotely controllable loads through smart
thermostats that enable them to be put on line and off line within a short time based on the real
time demand. This way peak demand is shaved (adjusted accordingly) without the need for
additional generation capacity.
3.6.
The plug-in electric vehicle (PHEV) offers another exciting challenge to the envisioned smart
grid. With improved storage technology and growing investments in alternative fuels for
vehicles, PHEVs are gradually gaining momentum in terms of purchase. The current projection
for the demand of EVs by 2050 is enormous as the technology is expected to experience high
demand in all parts of the world. The Figure 3-2 gives a graphic representation of the projected
demand.
any code known as a smart grid code. This is because the smart grid is a collection of different
solutions all lumped together to improve the flexibility of the traditional grid. However, different
regulations and standards do exist that regulate the operations of the sub-blocks and provide for
interoperability. Bodies such as the United States National Electric Regulatory Commission
(NERC), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) etc. do regulate from time to time these existing standards, anticipate
future/likely problems and carefully evolve new standards to regulate such. According to [44,
45], the different standards were classified into six groups. The Tables 4-1 4-4 gives a highlight
of some of these standards under their main classification and a brief description.

and other EMS schemes may lack full utilization owing to the low level illiteracy in these
regions. Due to this technical lacuna, it becomes imperative that smart grid solutions be localized
to match the terrain and suit the people of these regions. In assisting off grid medium income
dwellers manage their solar powered inverter systems, [93] proposed an intelligent load manager.
This initiative localizes the management of embedded generators and load profile dispatching for
demand side management in the developed economies to suit SSA and provide some optimal
comfort in terms of dispatch. Similarly, [33] proposed a persuasive smart energy management
system (PSEMS) for a grid connected house with grid interruptions in SSA. This device localizes
the functions of the smart meters by influencing consumers preferences on the prepaid meter. It
furthers the responsibilities of the smart meter by ensuring that the user is in control of how
much electricity should be consumed on a daily basis a function currently lacking in smart
meters. The Millennium Development Goal (MDGs) was launched in 2000 with the aim of
fighting poverty [94]. In other for these goals to be achieved access to energy services were
essential in the area of social and economic development [95]. Emphasizing the need of energy
in achieving socio-economic development, Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) project was
declared in 2014. SE4ALL is focused on ensuring universal access to energy, increasing energy
efficiency and the use of renewable energy around the globe by 2030. The initiative is a
partnership between United Nations and World Bank with other stakeholders like private sectors,
civil societies, financial institutions and leaders from both developed and developing countries
[96]. This project aims at solving the major challenges in our time which are Poverty and climate
change. In other to achieve these goals, modern technologies are applied in micro-hydro power,
solar photovoltaic systems, use of biomass efficiently and modernizing cooking fuels. The main
challenge to the project is generating funds in low-income countries to increase energy
production and effectiveness of off-grid technologies [97].
In view of this, the World Bank is initiating a program that will bring the majority of the
population in Bangladesh under Rural electrification and Renewable Energy Systems project.
The project aims at subsidizing the cost of building solar energy systems. Based on micro
finance system, rural based PV systems are provided at subsidized prices by companies like
Grameen Shakti. Also, in India another program has commenced to replace about five million
water pumps running on diesel to solar energy. The solar project is aimed at producing 700 to
Germany shows that 7,604MW of power was added to the national grid in the year 2012
increasing the countrys PV capacity to 32,643MW [101].
Over the past decade the increase of renewables has been impressive following the rise in the
total energy capacity (excluding large hydro) from 85 GW in 2004 to 560 GW in 2013. The total
installed capacity was increased from 48 GW to 318 GW and 2.6 GW to 139 GW for Wind and
PV generation respectively with in the same period. The Chart below shows the addition of
renewable energy from 2004 to 2013 [102].

7. Conclusion
This report has provided a thorough overview of the smart grid showing its subsystems and the
complexities involved. The standards which form a very important core in its operations have
also been listed while several regulatory bodies involved in harmonizing the smart grid
operations have been mentioned. As a complex system made up of more complex subsystems,
the smart grid bases its operation and seamless integration of component modules on
interoperability which ensures there is a common platform that can accommodate all its
components.
