Smart Grid
A Smart Grid refers to an advanced electrical grid that incorporates digital technology, automation, and modern communication systems to improve the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of electricity distribution. It enables two-way communication between the utility and its customers, facilitating real-time monitoring and management of energy consumption and supply. Smart Grids integrate various technologies, including smart meters, sensors, and advanced analytics, to enhance the operational performance of the power network, optimize energy use, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources. Through these innovations, Smart Grids aim to increase resilience against outages, reduce energy losses, enhance grid security, and empower consumers with better control over their energy usage. Overall, a Smart Grid represents a transformation of the traditional electric grid into an intelligent, responsive infrastructure capable of meeting contemporary energy demands.
