Global Smart Grid Overview
Smart grid is a digital technology that permits for two-way communication between the service and its customers and also helps in detecting along the transmission lines. Access for smart grid can be done through internet with controls, computers, automation, and original technologies with system apparatus working together, sometimes these technologies works with the electrical grid to respond digitally for quickly changing the electric demand.
The Smart Grid represents an extraordinary opportunity to shift the energy industry into a new period of consistency, accessibility, and efficiency that will contribute to our economic and environmental health. During the evolution era, it will be dangerous to bring out testing, technology improvements, basic education in consumer, development of principles and guidelines, and information sharing between projects to ensure that the benefits we visualize from the Smart Grid become a reality. Smart Grids are, more effective in transmission of electricity, have fast restoration of electricity after power disturbances and reduced operations and management costs for utilities, and ultimately lower power costs for consumers.
