Smart Grid
According to the Department of Energy definition, “smart grid” generally refers to a class of technology used to bring utility electricity delivery systems into the 21st century, using computer-based remote control and automation. These systems are made possible by two-way communication technology and computer processing that has been used for decades in other industries.
Although most of the devices utilities used to deliver electricity have yet to be automated and computerized, they are beginning to be used on electricity networks, from the power plants and wind farms all the way to the consumers of electricity in homes and businesses. These options and products offer many benefits to utilities and consumers -- mostly seen in big improvements in energy efficiency on the electricity grid and in the energy users’ homes and offices.
