About this audiobook
What Is Smart Grid
A smart grid is a kind of electrical grid that incorporates a number of different management and energy-saving methods, such as the following: infrastructure for advanced metering technologiesIntelligent circuit breakers and distribution boards that are linked with home control systems and demand response systemsSmart appliances and load control switches, which are often subsidized by efficiencies gained in municipal programs.Resources for renewable energy, include the ability to charge batteries that have been parked, bigger arrays of batteries that have been recycled from these, or other forms of energy storage.Resources that use little to no energyenough utility-grade fiber bandwidth to link and monitor the aforementioned components, with wireless connectivity serving as a backup option. A sufficient amount of spare capacity in the event that it goes "black," which is typically leased out for financial gain.
