  • In the United States and many other countries, modernization of the electric power grid is central to national efforts to increase energy efficiency, transition to renewable energy sources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and build a sustainable economy that ensures prosperity for current and future generations. Around the world, billions of dollars are being spent to build a smart electric power grid, referred to as the Smart Grid. While the terminology varies from country to country, all notions of an advanced power grid for the 21st Century hinge on adding and integrating many varieties of digital computing and communications technologies and services with the power-delivery infrastructure. "Smart grid stores, transports and manages energy. Smart grid is a de facto Critical Infrastructure as energy is important for the well-functioning of the society and economy. Being the blending of the energy and telecommunication critical infrastructures, smart grids should operate securely and by respecting end users' privacy. Moreover, the protection of the smart grid is the key to energy availability." Modernizing the current power grid through the computerization and networking of intelligent components holds the promise of a Smart Grid infrastructure that can — * Deliver electricity more efficiently; * Provide better power quality; * Link with a wide array of energy sources in addition to energy produced by power plants (such as renewable energy sources); * Enable self-healing in cases of disturbance, physical and cyber attack, or natural disaster; and * Provide consumers, and other individuals, with more choices based on how, when, and how much electricity they use. Communications technology that enables the zbidirectional flow of information throughout the infrastructure is at the core of these Smart Grid improvements, which rely upon collated energy usage data provided by smart meters, sensors, computer systems, and many other devices to derive understandable and actionable information for consumers and utilities.
