Smart Grid Definition (continued)

• The basic concept of Smart Grid is to add
  monitoring, analysis, control and communication
  capabilities to the national electric grid in
  order to
• improve reliability
• maximize throughput
• increase energy efficiency
• provide consumer participation
• allow diverse generation options
• allow diverse and storage options

4
Smart Grid Definition (continued)

• Smart Grid is a vision of
• an intelligent, dynamic organism that allows
  the electricity system to be planned and operated
  in a way that optimizes all of its components to
  lower costs, increase reliability and utilize new
  ICT technologies. (by Dan Delurey, director of
  Demand Response and Advanced Metering
  Coalition-DRAM, USA)
