What is Smart Grid?

A smart grid is an electric power delivery system from point of

generation to point of consumption integrated with advanced
communications and information technology.

Integrated solutions and analysis tools to optimize resources &

costs and enhance reliability and system efficiency.

What is Smart Grid?

Definition

NEMA (National
Electrical
Manufacturers
Association) defines Smart Grid as
the addition of monitoring, analysis, control and
communication capabilities to the national
electrical delivery system to maximize the
throughput of the system while reducing energy
consumption

Smart Grid

Who are the drivers?
