Integration of Smart Grid in SMART CITY

project of Dharamshalla Town

 WHAT IS SMART CITY?
A smart city is an urban development vision to integrate multiple information and communication
technology (ICT) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in a secure fashion to manage a city's
assets the city's assets include, but are not limited to, local departments' information systems,
schools, libraries, transportation systems, hospitals, power plants, water supply networks, waste
management, law enforcement, and other community services. The goal of building a smart city is
to improve quality of life by using urban informatics and technology to improve the efficiency of
services and meet residents' needs. ICT allows city officials to interact directly with the
community and the city infrastructure and to monitor what is happening in the city, how the city is
evolving, and how to enable a better quality of life. Through the use of sensors integrated with
real-time monitoring systems, data are collected from citizens and devices then processed and
analyzed. The information and knowledge gathered are keys to tackling inefficiency.
Information and communication technology (ICT) is used to enhance quality, performance and
interactivity of urban services, to reduce costs and resource consumption and to improve contact
between citizens and government.[2] Smart city applications are developed with the goal of
improving the management of urban flows and allowing for real time responses to challenges.
Infrastructure Elements defined by
Govt of India
The core infrastructure elements in a Smart City would include:
i. adequate water supply,

ii. assured electricity supply,

iii. sanitation, including solid waste management,
iv. efficient urban mobility and public transport,
v. affordable housing, especially for the poor,
vi. robust IT connectivity and digitalization,
vii. good governance, especially e-Governance and citizen participation, viii.
sustainable environment,
ix. safety and security of citizens, particularly women, children and the elderly, and
x. health and education.

Smart City at Dharamshalla- integration
with SMART GRID
Dharamshalla is one of the 100 cities selected by GoI for developing
as SMART City. As is evident from the previous slides, Power Plants
and Power delivery system is essential ingredient of SMART CITY
as it would a pivot for implementation of other activities. Electricity
is now essential commodity and non integration of this service in
SMART CITY concept shall defeat the very purpose of this concept.
Thus SMART GRID needs to be integrated with all activities of
SMART CITY. Recognizing this inextricable link between SMART
CITY and SMART GRID, GoI, MOP has asked Power Utilities to
propose SMART GRID under National Smart Grid Mission(NSGM)
preferably in the 100 identified SMART Cities in the country,
Dharamshalla is one of them, so as to make the whole concept work.
Thus, HPSEB Ltd has proposed SMART GRIDS in Dharamshalla
and Shimla Towns. Pilot Project is being implemented in Kala Amb
Town.

The Main concept of Smart Grid is to add Analysis,

Control ,Monitoring and Communication in the Power
1 Delivery system

Maximize the Utilization of equipment's, lower cost to

utility, decrease in interruptions, improve reliability
2 and reduce energy consumption

To reduce the environmental impact of the whole

electricity system

Pilot Smart Grid at Kala Amb
HPSEBL is implementing Smart Grid Pilot project at Kala
Amb.
The project was awarded to M/s Alstom T&D India Ltd.
(now GE T&D India Ltd.) and M/s Genus Power
Infrastructure Ltd. during February, 2015 for Rs. 24.99 Cr
The Ministry of Power, GoI is providing 50% financial
assistance (amounting to Rs 9.72 Crores). This excludes
training and FMS charges. First instalment of Rs. 2.43
Crores released to HPSEBL from MoP.
M/s PGCIL has been appointed as Advisor cum
Consultancy services provider by HPSEBL with
consultancy charges of 5% of the project cost excluding
training and maintenance charges.
 Proposed Smart Grid at Dharamshalla
and Shimla..1..
Ministry of Power, GoI has requested Govt. of Himachal Pradesh to
prepare and submit the proposal for two or more Smart Grid Projects
under National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM) preferably from the
selected 100 Smart cities.
Accordingly HPSEB Ltd. approved to extend the implementation of
Smart Grid project to two more towns i.e. Shimla and Dharamshala.
A Smart City targets a number of areas, such as water management,
transportation, public health and safety where efficiency can be
increased with intelligent deployment of technologies.
The reliable and self-healing feature of Smart Grid will serve as a key
enabler for these critical infrastructures in a Smart City.
Proposed Smart Grid at Dharamshalla
and Shimla..2..
Consequently Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd.
(PGCIL) was requested for consultancy services and
preparation of DPR for Shimla and Dharamshala since
Power Grid is already acting as Advisor-cum-Consultant to
HPSEB Ltd. for the implementation of Smart Grid Pilot
project at Kala Amb (H.P.).
PGCIL conveyed their consent for providing consultancy
services including preparation of Detailed Project Report
(DPR) for these two towns under National Smart Grid
Mission (NSGM) with consultancy fee of 5% of the final
executed cost of the project excluding taxes and duties as
per the terms and conditions detailed in draft Agreement,
which is yet to be signed.
Brief Description of proposed Smart
Grid Project at Dharamshalla
The project covers area of Dharamshalla
Electricity Division of HPSEB Ltd. which
consists of four Sub-Divisions namely ESD-I&II,
Mc LeodGanj and Sidhpur.
The project area covers 24,239 consumers fed
from three no. 33/11 KV Sub-Station.
The annual energy requirement of the area is
108.5MU.
Main attributes of Smart Grid at
Dharamshalla
1.SCADA and Substation Automation System
To enable the utility to monitor status, alarms etc.
and exercise remote control at the substation level
from Smart Grid Control Center.
2. Smart Ring Main Units/Compact
S/Stns
To ensure alternate path
for energy flow in case of
any fault by promptly
detecting and isolating the
faulty section.
This will bring in a
significant improvement in
customer satisfaction by
reducing the affected
number of consumers in
case of a fault.
3. Advanced Metering
Infrastructure (AMI)
The Smart meters
shall be able to send
load details, energy
consumption data,
tamper alerts etc. to
the control centre.
AMI shall serve as
the backbone for
online billing, peak
load management and
detection of tampers
through meter
generated alerts and
online energy audit
etc.
4. Outage Management System
(OMS)
OMS will be able to
predict, detect and
confirm an outage by
interacting with Meter
Data Management
System, SCADA, GIS
etc.
The OMS software shall
also be able to calculate
Estimated Time of
Restoration depending
on type of fault and crew
availability.
 5. Peak Load Management
(PLM)
PLM will enable the customers to
participate in Demand Side
Management and Demand
Response programs by
introducing ToU/ToD tariffs and
customer incentivization (subject
to regulatory approval).
6. Distribution Transfomrer
Monitoring Unit (DTMU)
DTMU shall monitor the
health of Distribution
Transformer (like Oil
temperature, palm
temperature, oil level etc.)
and communicate with the
SCADA.
By prompt detection of
increased temperature, oil
leakage/theft the life of the
Distribution Transformer
can be enhanced.
7. Under-ground cable system by
replacing existing overhead system
The overhead distribution system
is prone to fault, especially hilly
terrains such as Dharamshala.
Hence, it is proposed to lay
underground cable system which
will reduce the frequency of
faults, involves less maintenance,
appearance is good, have long
life and eliminates hazard.
However the underground system
is highly capital intensive.
