Abstract:
Efficiency: improve efficiency of grid
The smart grid is the most promising operation, taking into an account of cost
solution for future generation energy crisis. effectiveness of the electricity system.
One important feature of the smart grid is the
integration of high-speed, reliable and secure
data communication networks to manage the
complex power systems effectively and
intelligently. With an overlay of digital
technology, the grid promises to operate more
efficiently and reliably. These communication
networks are responsible for delivering power
system related messages.

Introduction:
Smart grid is an electric grid which
delivers electricity from points of generation to
consumers, and the electricity delivering
network functions via two primary systems: the
transmission system and the distribution
system. The transmission system delivers
electricity from power plants to distribution
substations, while the distribution system
delivers electricity from the distribution
substations to consumers.
Building the smart grid means adding
