As increased electricity demand puts an added strain on the current power system, the creation of a smart grid network offers a solution that can increase energy efficiency and reduce costs for consumers. Making the smart grids interoperable can further optimize electricity output and facilitate trade across APEC nations.
This folder contains road maps for the development of interoperability standards for smart grid technologies and systems. Interoperability is essential in order to integrate components from multiple vendors and would ideally enable international trade of smart grid products.
This folder contains road maps for integration of renewable energy and distributed energy sources into the electricity grid. These road maps examine the pathways to overcoming challenges presented by these power sources.
This folder contains road maps for building automation, including plans for rolling out Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI), a critical piece of infrastructure necessary for enabling building automation.
The folder contains road maps for electric vehicle integration into the electric grid. The expected increase in electric vehicle use will present a challenge of meeting this new demand as well as potential for using vehicles as short-term storage for mitigating load peaking.
The folder contains road maps for the development of independent microgrid systems, creation of systems of microgrids, as well as integration of microgrids into traditional electricity grid architectures.
This folder contains smart grid demonstration projects from throughout the APEC economies. These demonstrations provide information about technologies implemented, best practices employed in establishing new systems, and user experiences.
