چکیده
Author: Andre Szykier CEO/CTO GridPlex Networks LLC Copyright © 2010 P ag e1 Demand Response and Grid Management are power utility initiatives driven by Federal and State stimulus programs to make the electric grid more reliable, secure and intelligent. The first step in making a grid “smart” is by replacing existing end user power utility meters with smart meters that support bi-directional communication between utility central control systems, the electric substations, the line, pad and underground transformers and to the power consumer. Utilities are scheduled to spend over $40B in the next five years on smart meters and smart grid infrastructure upgrades.
