The Smart Grid
• The smart grid system is used for transmitting
electronic grid
• The most largest and complex infrastructure
• Distributed using monitoring, remote sensing,
and bidirectional communication
(Di Santo &
et al 2015)
• The electronic control system incorporates
telecommunication and information
technologies.
• It keeps tracks entire energy value chain.

Lack in electric grid
• Centralized, natural gas, mainly cool and bulk generation
• Responsible for producing 40% of human caused carbon di-oxide production
• Predictable loads and controllable generation
• Situational awareness and limited automation
• Followed by customized proprietary methods
• Lack of data (such as consumers data) to use and manage energy resource
