Electric utilities worldwide are embracing a 'Smart Grid' vision of transformational change. This vision includes full modernization and automation of electric power networks. This vision also encompasses major elements from advanced metering, power electronics and information management to renewable and distributed energy resources, and home and electric vehicle energy management. The Smart Grid vision seeks to bring together and connect, in an inter-operable way, diverse technologies- advanced applications and use of distributed energy resources, communications, information management, automated controls. Doing so, the Smart Grid enables a self-healing, more reliable, less constrained, safer and more efficient grid. Intelligent meters, products and displays also empower customers to use electricity more efficiently.
