Introduction of Smart Grid

The smart grid concepts

A smart grid is a next-generation power infrastructure system that is capable of intelligent demand management because information/communication technology is integrated with traditional power grids. Such integration enables suppliers and demanders to exchange information bi-directionally and in real time and consequently allows operators to implement intelligent demand management, connect the smart grid to renewable energy sources, and charge electric vehicles.

Changes resulting from smart grid

Changes resulting from smart grid
Supply side	Maximized reliability of power supply facility. Optimization of facility utilization achieved through load leveling. Popularization of distributed power systems based on storage and renewable energy.
Consumption side	Efficient consumption of power based on diverse services (energy Internet). Transition to a low-energy consumption society.
Market side	Commercialization of smart home appliances that respond to power demand levels. Growth of energy efficiency-boosting industry, smart home, and smart buildings. Expanded commercialization of charging infrastructure, electric vehicles, and AMIs.

Elements that make up a smart grid

A smart grid is made up of smart meters (AMI), energy management system (EMS), energy storage system (ESS), electric car and charging stations, distributive supply, renewable energy, bi-directional information communication technologies, and intelligent distribution/transmission system.
