“The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches. We only must do everything in our power to safeguard against its abuse.„

Albert Einstein

Smart Grid

Smart Grid attempts to predict and intelligently respond to the behaviour and actions of all electric power users connected by adding monitoring, analysis, control, and communication capabilities to the national electrical delivery system. It aims to maximize the throughput of the system while reducing the energy consumption. The Smart Grid will allow utilities to move electricity around the system as efficiency and economically as possible. It will also allow the homeowner and business to useelectricity as economically as possible.

With smart grid, it is possible to employ tactics for improved efficiency:

  •  smart meters,
  • dynamic pricing,
  • smart thermostats and smart appliances,
  • automated control of equipment,
  • real-time and next day energy information feedback to electricity users,
  • usage by appliance data, and
  • scheduling and control of loads such as electric vehicle chargers, home area networks (HANs), and others.
