Smart Grid is of a Two way Distribution system which comprises of electricity and internet
transfer and receiving.
The basic idea of Smart grids is about information and control as much as power
management.
This information can reroute electricity around problem spots until the problem is fixed, and
adjust power levels to match demands.
Through the 1970s to the 1990s, growing demand led to increasing numbers of power
stations.
In the 1980s, automatic meter reading was used for monitoring loads from large customers,
and evolved into the Advanced Metering Infrastructure of the 1990s, whose meters could
store how electricity was used at different times of the day.
Monitoring and synchronization of wide area networks were revolutionized in the early
1990s when the Bonneville Power Administration expanded its smart grid research with
prototype sensors that are capable in maintaining electricity quality over very large
geographic areas.
The first official definition of Smart Grid was provided by the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007 (EISA-2007), which was approved by the US Congress in January
2007, and signed to law by President George W. Bush in December 2007.
Other countries are rapidly integrating this technology — China started having a
comprehensive national Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS) when the past 5-year
economic plan completed in 2012.
• Energy demand is increasing at a faster rate than energy supply because of the
increase in population.
Hence Smart grid is a generic label for the application of computer, intelligence and
networking abilities to the existing dumb electricity distribution systems.
Smart Grid utilizes intelligent electricity transmission and distribution networks that
use a two-way communication to increase the efficiency, reliability and safety of
power delivery. Various technologies are used to enable the smart grid operation.
These key technologies can be grouped into THREE key technology areas:
• Integrated communications
• Distribution management system (DMS)
• Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
National Smart Grid Mission has been established by Govt. of India vide
Memorandum dated 27.03.2015 to accelerate Smart Grid deployment in India.
Country's first smart grid project, which will generate power from renewable
sources of energy, has been created by the Indian Institute of Engineering Science
and Technology (IIEST) in 2017.
India ranks 76th in the World Electricity Forum (WEF).

GRID OPERATORS will enjoy a improvement in monitoring and control capabilities that will
in turn enable them to deliver a higher level of system reliability.
UTILITIES will experience lower distribution losses, deferred capital expenditures and reduced
maintenance costs.
CONSUMERS will gain greater control over their energy costs, including generating their own
power, while realizing the benefits of a more reliable grid.
THE ENVIRONMENT will benefit from reductions in peak demand, the proliferation of
renewable power sources, and a corresponding reduction in emissions of CO2 as well as
pollutants such as mercury.
