Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Electricity Sector Using Smart Electric Grid Applications

Abstract: Approximately 40% of global CO2emissions are emitted from electricity generation through the combustion of fossil fuels to generate heat needed to power steam turbines. Burning these fuels results in the production of carbon dioxide (CO2)—the primary heat-trapping, “greenhouse gas” responsible for global warming. Applying smart electric grid technologies can potentially reduce CO2emissions. Electric grid comprises three major sectors: generation, transmission and distribution grid, and consumption. Smart gener… Show more

“…By engaging customers in the highly automated smart grid system, it is estimated that a reduction of up to 10% of the usual power loss in transmission can be avoided [17]. It is also estimated that smart grid will be able to decrease GHG emission between 5-9 % of the 2005 levels [18]. A recent report shows that if smart grid is implemented connecting the MENA countries, there will be an annual saving of $300 million to $ 1 billion for the countries involved [19].…”

“…On May 9, 2013, the Earth's atmosphere crossed an alarming threshold, when the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere reached 400 parts per million (ppm), up from 355 ppm in 1990, 14 14 Approximately 45% are emitted from the electricity generation sector through the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas to generate the heat needed to power steam-driven turbines, followed by oil (35%) and natural gas (20%). 15 Authoritative sources such as the World Resources Institute and International Energy Agency claim that atmospheric CO 2 can only be stabilized by deploying a range of measures, which include significant increases in energy efficiency and conservation, wider reliance on renewable energy, and the use of carbon capture and storage. Scientific literature suggests that limiting average global temperature rise to 2°C above pre-industrial levels -the target internationally adopted in United Nations climate negotiations -is possible if cumulative CO 2 emissions over the 2000-2050 period do not exceed 1.000 to 1.500 billion tonnes.…”

“…In order to devise an appropriate policy to achieve this objective [95], the policymakers must know at which location of charging (i.e., HC, BC, CC) the PV and BES based EV charging is more capable of doing so. By knowing this, the policymakers can enact laws and 23 incentive schemes in favour of the most suitable location so as to encourage EV owners to charge their EVs at that location. For example, if the BC is more suitable for the PV and BES based EV charging, the incentive schemes could be designed in a way that more EV owners will be willing to charge their EVs at BC.…”

“…Besides, the impact could be further aggravated if the peaks of EV load and regular load coincide with each other. In addition to the impact as above, performing the charging of the EV population directly from the grid could still generate a significant amount of GHG emission because of the indirect emission by the grid [23]. As such, refer to Table 1.2, performing the charging of the EV population directly from the grid will be responsible for a 54% of the current GHG emissions.…”
