What is Smart Grid?
For me
− It is an application over the Internet for
efficiently and securely managing the
Power generation, transmission, distribution
and utilization
− The number of devices to be connected to
the Internet for this application would
dwarfs the existing devices connected to
the Internet
IPv6 Makes it Possible

TECHNOLOGIESiRAMRadio Access for Mobile Internet
6LoWPAN – An Open IETF Standard
6LoWPAN - IPv6 over Low power WPAN− Massively scalable networking as an end-to-end part
of the Internet
6LoWPAN applicable to any low-power, low-rate wireless radio − IP protocols tie together heterogeneous networks.
IPv6 addresses the Smart grid requirements− End-to-end Addressing, Security, Mobility, Traffic
Multiplexing
− Reusability and Maintainability,
− Web-services

Protocols for Things of Internet
TECHNOLOGIESiRAMRadio Access for Mobile Internet
India is Unique – so are the Problems
Poorly planned distribution network
Overloading of the system
Lack of reactive power supply
Low metering efficiency and bill collection
Power theft
Poor power quality
Frequent blackouts
The networking community can help in fixing some of these

The Barriers to the Smart Grid
Regulatory and Legislative barriers
High levels of uncertainty
− Technology feasibility
− Business case: costs of implementation and RoI
Perceived complexity
Security and privacy
Burden of operating and maintaining the
solutions
Some of these requires Research and Experimentation

ACTIONS AND EXPERIMENTS
What can we do for India?
TECHNOLOGIESiRAMRadio Access for Mobile Internet
Open Global Standards
India is unique: May require something
unique; unless we shout nobody listens
Push for open standards based on IPv6
− More equipment vendors
− No royalties, cheaper products
− Easy to maintain and operate
Huge population not only creates problems but solutions as well

Collaborative Pilot Projects
Identification of Power Thefts− Average power theft in India is 26%
• Apparently in some states, it is over 50%
− Networking can help in identifying the location of power theft
iBuildings− Lighting and Appliances automation
− Understanding of Implementation, Maintenance and RoI
Study of Consumers− Acceptability
− Energy savings by behavioral change
− Study of Security and Privacy
− Time based billing
