White Paper: Smart Grid Basics: Turning Information Into Power
The Smart Grid is a vision of a better electricity delivery infrastructure. Smart Grid implementations dramatically increase the quantity, quality, and use of data available from advanced sensing, computing, and communications hardware and software. As a result, they help utilities address two of todays most important business drivers: environmental concerns and power delivery constraints and disturbances.
Effective use of Smart Grid technologies helps utilities:
- Optimize grid use.
- Improve grid efficiency and security.
- Better align demand with supply constraints and grid congestion.
- Enable distributed generation (especially from renewable sources).
- Empower customers to manage their consumption and take advantage of pricing and supply options.
