Smart Grid Australia Inc
Smart Grid Australia (SGA) is a non-profit, non-partisan alliance dedicated to an enhanced, modernised electric system.
This alliance holds meetings, organises committees, assists withgovernment initiatives, and issues communications to accelerate progress. It seeks to be an important source of ideas, inspiration, and influence for any organisation interested in this sector.
Modelled on the USA GridWise Alliance, SGA is a member of the international trade alliance Global Smart Grid Federation
Members:
• Electricity utilities
• Telecommunications companies
• Vendors
• Energy investors
• Federal, state, and municipal agencies
• Research organisations
• Non-profit energy organisations

Australian Energy Networks:
• National Energy Market (NEM)
� Includes Eastern and Southern States
� 260+ Registered Generators,
6 Transmission Networks,
13 Distribution Networks
� In geographical span, the
largest interconnected power
system in the world (>5000km)
• Voltage Levels
� Transmission (500kV/330kV/275kV/220kV)
� Distribution (33kV/22kV/11kV)

What’s “unique” about Australian networks:
• Geographical coverage and customer density
� USA Population 307M, Australia 22M
� Could have >100km of distribution
network serving <50 customers
• Extreme weather conditions
� Cyclones and flooding in the North
� Intense heat in the interior
� Catastrophic bushfires in the South
• Fully contestable markets in Victoria
� Disaggregated, privatised energy supply industry
� Extremely active competitive retail market
National/State and Industry initiatives:
• Distribution network reliability incentive scheme
• Victorian Advanced Metering Infrastructure program
• Solar Cities
• National Broadband Network
• Smart Grid Smart City grant
• Victorian EV trials
Network Reliability Incentive regime:
The incentives of the scheme applied in Victoria (applied up to 2010) are in the
form of:
• A service term (S factor) in the price control formula,
giving it the form of (1+CPI)(1-X)S.
(If a distributor provides an average level of reliability better than the target levels,
then its distribution tariffs will rise in subsequent years. If the reliability level is
worse than the target levels, then the distribution tariffs will fall. A new Service
Target Performance Incentive Scheme applies in various jurisdictions from 2009)
• Guaranteed service level (GSL) payments to customers for low reliability.
(Customers entitled to receive a credit if they experience more than the specified number
of sustained or momentary interruptions1 in a calendar year, or if they experience a
cumulative supply interruption time longer than the specified number of hours)

Victorian AMI initiative:
• 2006 Start
� Victorian Government developed Cost-Benefit Analysis
� Replacement of 3m meters
• To date
� 319k meters replaced (Sep10)
� Consumer communications lagging rollout
• Hence delayed TOU and signal functionality anticipated Jan12
• Technology aspects
� Meters and systems to meet functionality and service requirements such as:
• Remote de-energise / energise
• Remote interval data read (48hrs of 1/2hr data)
� Communication solutions:
• 700k meters WiMax (higher SG functionality opportunities)
• 2.3m meters mesh radio solutions

Solar Cities initiative:
Australia's Solar Cities are: Adelaide, Alice Springs, Blacktown, Central Victoria, Moreland,
Perth and Townsville.
Each Solar City integrates energy options for homes and businesses, including use of solar
technologies, cost reflective pricing trials that reward people who use energy wisely, and
community education about better energy usage in an increasingly energy-reliant world.
In particular, the program aims to:
• Demonstrate the environmental and economic effects of combining
cost reflective pricing with the widespread use of solar technology,
energy efficiency and smart meters,
• Find out what barriers exist regarding energy efficiency, electricity
demand management and the use of solar technology, among
businesses and householders in different parts of Australia,
and test ways to deal with these barriers.

National Broadband Network (NBN):
• NBN Co plans to deliver the best, most cost effective infrastructure
across Australia using a combination of fibre, wireless and satellite technologies.
• NBN Co will design, build and operate a wholesale-only, superfast broadband
network that will provide speeds of 100 Megabits per second to 93% of
Australian premises and 12 Megabits per second to 7%, subject to final design.
• For most premises, NBN Co will use either Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON)
or Ethernet Point to Point fibre and will link some premises by wireless or
satellite, depending on location and geography.
