A smart grid is a digitally enabled electrical grid that gathers, distributes, and acts on information about the behavior of all participants (suppliers and consumers) in order to improve the efficiency, importance, reliability, economics, and sustainability of electricity services.

Who Needs Smart Grids?

Utilities

Campuses Individual Consumers

NORMAL GRID SYSTEM

An utility center is available to monitor all the grid sensors

A small neighborhood grid center is present in different areas to monitor the local power management

All the transmission lines will be under the control of the utility center due to the placement of sensors at different levels

An individual back up system is maintained near the distribution side to maintain equal supply to demand ratio

3.SMART CONTROLLING

Higher Customer Satisfaction: The combination of lower costs,

reliability and better customer control will raise satisfaction among all types of customers (residential, commercial, industrial, institutional).

Improved Reliability: The Advanced Transmission Operations (ATO),

Advanced Distribution Operations (ADO) inherent in the smart grid will reduce and shorten outages and improve the quality of power.

Increased Efficiency: The integrated advanced components of the

smart grid will improve efficiency and lower costs for customers.

Customer Energy/Cost Savings: As pricing becomes more

transparent and is aligned with the underlying economics of generation and distribution,

CONCLUSION
Smart Grid is an emerging technology to provide next generation power grid and is promoted by many governments as a way of addressing energy independence, global warming and emergency resilience issues.
