Plan and practice of smart power consumption in Shanghai urban area

Shanghai is one of China's highest levels of industrialization and most economically developed regions. In the backdrop of the development of smart grid, smart electric power industry will be to play a very important position in the Shanghai urban area's electric power industry. This paper will focus on the analysis of the present situation of Shanghai urban area's power grid, especially the basic skills and business models of the power demand side. It is researched that the blueprint of the Shanghai urban area's future power grid and achieving methods based on the related smart electricity work carried on in the current Shanghai urban area and its effectiveness, especially, the pilot project. The main work is as follows: the description of the current Shanghai urban area power grid, including the history, development and evolution, load characteristics level, reliability, power distribution automation level and so on. The presented situation of smart power, which mainly includes the information collection system pilot project, electric vehicle charging facilities pilot project, intelligent building pilot project, flexible DC power transmission pilot project, the power FTTH (Fiber to The Home) to households pilot project, especially combine with the smart grid key pilot projects, such as the smart power design and practice of Shanghai World Expo smart grid pilot projects, and point out the current shortage and inadequate of the smart grid. The blueprint and achieving methods of the smart electricity describes the design blueprint of the future smart electricity in Shanghai urban area, and the means and direction to realize, such as to adapt and promote clean energy development, realizing highly smart grid dispatching to meet the electric vehicle and other new electricity consumers of electricity service requirements, efficient use and life cycle management of grid assets, convenient interaction between power users and grid, grid management informationalization and delicacy and playing the role of value-added services potential of the grid infrastructure.
