Smart Grid: Advanced Electricity Distribution Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Smart Grid concept is conceived as a means to optimize the operation and to improve the reliability of the electric delivery system. As environmental concerns and energy consumption continue to increase, utilities are looking at cost effective strategies for improved network operation and consumer consumption. Smart Grid is a collection of next generation power delivery concepts that includes new power delivery components, control and monitoring throughout the power grid and more informed customer options. A “smart grid” leverages digital technology to improve reliability, security, transparency, connectivity, interoperability, and efficiency. It enables information collection and communication throughout the system, from generation to transmission and distribution to end users. The Smart Grid can’t be reduced to a simple formula. The broadest interpretation sees the electric industry transformed by the introduction of two-way communications and ubiquitous metering and measurement. It will enable creation of more reliable, more efficient and more secure electrical infrastructure.
