Smart Grid: A Definition

It includes software and hardware applications for dynamic, integrated, and interoperable optimization of electric system operations, maintenance, and planning; distributed generation interconnection and integration; and feedback and controls at the consumer level.

The Smart Grid is a bi-directional electric and communication network that improves the reliability, security, and efficiency of the electric system for small to large-scale generation, transmission, distribution, and storage.

What is the Traditional Grid?

Centralized generation, wide area transmission, distribution to consumers, low awareness

Information flows in one direction from meter to utility, with no visibility into usage until

the bill arrives.

Generation Transmission Distribution Home/Office

The Future Smart GridCentralized, distributed, and micro generation

with renewable sources, energy storage, electric vehicles, and energy management

Information networks enable monitoring, measurement, and management across the grid.

Consumers can produce energy.

Smart Grid Benefits

• Reduce CO2 emissions by up to 480 MMT by 2020

• Save up to $35B in energy

and fuel costs (Smart2020.org report on

information and communications technologies)

• Optimize utility operations– Remote monitor/control– Intelligence in networks to

reduce electricity losses• Integrate variable renewable

energy sources into grid• Deliver granular energy data

to utilities and consumers for consumption management
