Many
countries and electricity markets are looking at Smart Grid as advanced solutions in delivering mix of enhanced values ranging from higher security, reliability and power quality, lower cost of delivery, demand optimization and energy efficiency. Its advanced capabilities - demand optimization, delivery efficiency and renewable energy optimization will lead to lower carbon footprint and overall lower energy cost and investment in energy related infrastructure.
The
Smart Grid is a combination of hardware, management and reporting software, built a top an intelligent communication infrastructure. In the world of the Smart Grid, consumers and utility companies alike have tools to manage, monitor and respond to energy issues. The flow of electricity from utility to consumer becomes a two-way conversation , saving consumers money , energy , delivering more transparency in terms of end-user use, and reducing carbon emissions

SMART METERING
A smart meter is an electric meter that records consumption of electric energy in intervals of hour or less. Communicates that information at least daily back to the utility monitoring and billing purposes. Smart meter enable two-way communication between the meter and the central system.

CONCEPTUAL MODEL
Smart
Grid technology provides opportunity for India to enhance the existing grid and preventing reoccurrences of major incidents. Smart Grid technologies can improve the reliability, security, and efficiency of current electrical grid. Intelligent devices can automatically adjust to changing conditions to prevent blackouts and increase capacity.
