As the use of smart grid technologies grows, so does the need for utilities and their suppliers to develop new business models, strategies, and processes. This book explores the design and implementation of smart grid technologies, with an emphasis on reducing costs and improving ROI. Focusing on industrial applications, the text includes examples and test cases for real-life implementation. It describes smart grid simulation software, discusses trade-offs associated with the utilization of smart grid technologies, and provides insight into future possibilities for smart grid use.
The utilization of sensors, communications, and computer technologies to create greater efficiency in the generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption of electricity will enable better management of the electric power system. As the use of smart grid technologies grows, utilities will be able to automate meter reading and billing and consumers will be more aware of their energy usage and the associated costs. The results will require utilities and their suppliers to develop new business models, strategies, and processes.
