Over the last few decades Vietnam has
made remarkable progress in reducing poverty and positioning
its economy on a sustainable growth path. As a consequence
of robust economic growth, electricity demand in Vietnam
grew at an average of 14 percent annually over the last
decade. With electricity consumption nearly matching
generation in recent years and insufficient investment in
new power plants, the electricity grid is under constant
strain by the growing economy. Realizing the large
technical, institutional, and financial challenges posed by
this level of expansion will be a key priority for Vietnam’s
grid system operators in the short term. In 2012, the
Government of Vietnam (GoV) approved the smart grid
development project in Vietnam which outlines a smart grid
roadmap for Vietnam. The project is aimed at the integration
of new monitoring, protection and control systems to improve
grid reliability and make efficient use of infrastructure
while facilitating future integration of scaled-up renewable
energy options. The national power transmission corporation
(NPT) has already started progressing some of the smart grid
initiatives for transmission identified in the roadmap, such
as, the deployment of substation automation system (SAS) and
wide area monitoring systems (WAMS) as well as an
information system for operation and supervision. To support
GoV’s efforts, the World Bank has closely engaged with NPT,
the electricity regulator authority of Vietnam (ERAV) and
the national load dispatch center (NLDC) to refine the
existing smart grid roadmap on the basis of the lessons
learned from the international experience with smart grid
development. This report presents the results of this
technical assistance engagement funded by the energy sector
management assistance program (ESMAP) and the Asia
sustainable and alternative energy program (ASTAE) and
consists of: (i) a technical analysis of Vietnam’s existing
smart grid roadmap, and alternative and future options in
volume one; (ii) cost-benefit and risk analyses of the smart
grid options identified in the technical analysis in volume
two; and (iii) considerations of regulatory and performance
monitoring in volume three. |
