Smart grid

can be used in a sustainable, reliable and economic way. Smart grid and smart meters are the new power grids, which has been used in some countries to obtain the sustainable uses. They hold potential to benefit customers and the environments. This report is meant to give an overview about the smart grid and smart meters by describing what is the smart grid and smart meter. In addition, it introduces several technologies from these power grid systems and how these technologies impact on the environment

accelerated the development of smart grid technology and effectively promote the smart power grid. The Smart grid has become the new trend of the future power grid development [1]. The construction of smart grid is based on economic development, to meet the needs of people, and it is the inevitable result of advanced science and technology development to a certain degree. State Grid Corporation proposed to speed up the construction of high voltage network power grid as the backbone network, with informatization

outage is when a customer calls to report it. A challenge faced by smart grid systems is to provide highly reliable transmission to improve the energy efficiency of the system. If a proper command couldn’t be send in the event of an emergency it could result in disastrous consequences. As a result, quantitative reliability evaluation of information infrastructures should be addressed. A smart grid is a modernized electrical grid that uses analogues or digital information and communications technology

distribution level, which is controlled and integrated called “smart grid” which bring up to the date where the electricity generated is transported, distributed by optimizing the system’s economy and the improving the system’s capability to spring back into shape. Modernization of smart grid brings into important concepts as dynamic pricing, Time of Use, distributed generation and demand management. The benefits from techniques driven from smart grid are emission reduction, and reduction of operational expenditure

III .FEATURES OF A SMART GRID Reliability The smart grid uses technology to self locate faults so their rectification is fast and sound. This self healing property of smart grid makes it more reliable than the conventional grid. Main technology used here is state estimation. Multiple routes are used in a smart grid which were used in the old grid as well. But mostly they were radial in nature so that any failure can cause total failure of the system and the current would be shunted to other elements

SMART GRID TECHNOLOGIES: INTRODUCTION: All the service connections, transformers, transmission infrastructure, substations, generation plants, and everything required in managing the generation and distribution of electrical power is known as the electrical “Grid.” The term “smart grid” has been used to describe a broad range of technologies, design concepts and operating practices that collectively paint an exciting picture of what our electric power infrastructure might look like in ten or twenty

OF SMART GRID TECHNOLOGIES DATE: APRIAL 9, 2016 Introduction This memorandum addresses to present an overview of the features, functionalities, and characteristics of the Smart Grid. It expounds the effects of Smart Grid technologies on the modern electricity grid, power industry, and society. Smart Grids came up as a solution to make the electricity grid more adapt to the demand of the times, make it more sustainable, greener, and more efficient to the delivery of electric power. Smart Grids

How Are Smart Grid Used Today? Introduction Smart grids usage has been increasing all over the world. North America and Europe are the two regions that have been increasing their usage of smart grids over the years. A. Smart grid has four major area of applications which are industries and homes, transmission and distribution, generation, and power system as a whole. B. Smart grids have been used in different ways and there is different type of smart grid devices that has helped renew resources

Intelligent Transmission & Distribution System in Smart Grid Technology Hrishikesh Ganesh Divekar New Jersey Institute of Technology Abstract: Smart grid technology is the combination of existing electrical architecture i.e power generation, switchgear, power systems and digital technologies which provides smart, efficient, reliable and cost effective ways to distribute electricity. It makes optimal use of power by monitoring, analysis, control, and provides flexible distribution to maximize

METHOD USING IN SMART GRID COMMUNICATIONS Ehsan Dolatshahi Independent Study April 22, 2015 Introduction The old generation of electrical power grid has taken care of our needs in the past. However, as our world progress technologically, so do the expectations from different infrastructures around us. Smart grid is an initiative to completely restructure the electrical power grid to meet the current and future requirements of its clients. Upgrading our electrical power grid could bring novel
