Smart Grid
An electricity network that uses digital technologies, communications systems, and advanced sensors to improve the monitoring and operation of the electricity system.
Smart grid technologies allow electricity systems to operate more efficiently and reliably by providing real-time information about electricity supply, demand, and grid conditions.
Smart grids incorporate technologies such as:
These technologies enable better management of electricity flows across both transmission and distribution systems.
Smart grid technologies are particularly important as electricity systems integrate increasing numbers of Distributed Energy Resources (DER).
A smart grid system may automatically reroute electricity during a power outage to restore service more quickly.
