Korea : Jeju Smart Grid Test Bed
• The program consists of a fully integrated Smart Grid System for 6000
households; wind farms and four distribution lines are included in the pilot
program. This demonstrates the extent of Korea’s commitment towards an
environmentally viable future.
• Korea plans to slash overall energy consumption by 3% and cut down total
electric energy consumption by 10% before 2030. The government also plans
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 41 million tons by this time. The
government has announced that it will undertake a nation-wide Smart Grid
implementation by 2030.
• On January of 2010, Korea has taken a significant step forward in its efforts to
grab a foothold in the global smart grid sector, inking a tentative deal with
Illinois to jointly develop and test technologies for smart grid.
• Under the plan, technologies that are developed through this partnership and
are deemed viable for commercialization will be rolled out both in Illinois as
well as in Korean cities. The two sides agreed to launch a business model for a
smart grid on Jeju-do Island and apply it in Seoul and Chicago later on.

Italy: smart metering in Rome
• Landis+Gyr and Acea Distribuzione, the largest municipal utility in Italy,
have completed one of Europe’s largest smart metering rollouts in
Rome.
• The implementation of the integrated AMM (Advanced Metering
Management ) system began in 2004 with the objective of improving
energy efficiency in Italy’s capital.
• The system includes high accuracy bi-directional meters and smart grid
applications such as network operation control, and the ability to
monitor low and medium voltage line status automatically.
• The system has been designed to be extended to gas and water meters.
The same system is also being implemented in other utilities in Italy and
abroad, including EPCG, the national electricity distribution company in
Montenegro, as either full-scale or pilot applications .

• CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric’s (CPE) Smart Grid project involves
deployment of a fully integrated advanced metering system and Web portal access
to over 2.2 million customers, along with installation of advanced monitoring and
distribution automation equipment.
• The project aims to reduce peak loads, overall electricity use, and operations and
maintenance costs while increasing distribution system reliability.
• The project implements secure communications to: (1) allow smart meter
customers to view their electricity consumption data whenever they want through
the Smart Meter Texas (SMT) data exchange, and (2) allow CPE to effectively
visualize and operate the distribution system.
• As a transmission and distribution service provider, CPE provides metering data to
retail energy providers (REPs) through the SMT data exchange.
• The project also deploys a more advanced distribution management system and
automated feeder switching, that reduces operational costs and improves service
reliability.
