The EN and CA Divisions jointly organised the captioned webinar on 12 November 2020. Over 250 participants joined. This was the first time we invited an overseas speaker from Serbia to deliver a webinar over the internet. We were delighted to get an excellent response from the audience and positive feedback.
The speaker, Dr Nenad Katic, started the webinar with an introduction to smart gird solutions, including automated demand response (ADR), advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and advanced distribution management systems (ADMS). He analysed how ADMS benefitted the grid from both a technical and commercial point of view. He also presented cost evaluations and an economic analysis of ADMS from the transmission level down to the customer level.
A sensitivity analysis was also presented to explore the impact of different levels of automation which had already been applied in distribution grids. This showed the significant impact on profitability of smart grid automation projects. This information brought us a clear picture of how to deploy the automation/ADMS in the grid for a higher value.
Coming to the end of the webinar, the audience showed their interest in ADMS during the question-and-answer session. Dr Katic replied to all the questions by quoting some examples for easy illustration. At the end of the webinar, Ir John Chan, Chairman of the EN Division, gave a vote of thanks to Dr Katic for the presentation.
