  1. How is Smart Grid Technology Effective for the Energy and Utility Industry?

  2. Switching To Smart Grids America's electric power grid was originally developed in the 1890's and was considered an innovative marvel at the time. The grid is continuously upgraded and expanded as new technologies develop and energy demand increases across the country. However, that expansion and development has been less than uniform. As a result the modern power grid is an outdated patchwork with faulty design, poor security, and overall inefficiency. This has a negative effect on everything from energy prices to national security.

  3. Features of Smart Grids As such, many institutions are pushing for America's energy infrastructure to be switched over to a modernized system using Smart Grid Technology. A Smart Grid System combines modern technology with outdated energy systems in a number of ways. The result is a system that uses Smart Grid Solutions to promote adaptability and automation through the use of digital technology and advanced computer systems. The end goal is to allow power hubs to communicate instantaneously, analyzing information and reacting through the use of smart grid software.

  4. Benefits of a Smart Grid • By analyzing power usage and recording major fluctuations, the smart grid can isolate areas of waste and inefficiency where power is not being transferred effectively from one location to the other. Locating and remedying these energy bleeds helps lower costs to consumers, as well as benefits the environment by reducing waste.

  5. In a similar fashion, quality Smart Grid System Development also integrates eco-friendly, alternative energy sources more easily into the grid. This includes solar, wind, and bio-fuel, as well as other sources. This was a problem with the current grid, which was not designed with these new power sources in mind. By integrating them into the grid more fully, consumers have better access to alternative energy sources at better prices. • The Smart Grid also benefits national security and public safety in many ways. The haphazard structure of the existing grid leads to a chaotic infrastructure with critical systems built one on top of the other. This means that when one system fails it creates a cascade effect that takes nearby systems down with it, leading to widespread power failures. This can have considerable repercussions in the wake of an environmental disaster or organized attack. The Smart Grid is designed to be more adaptable and resilient, with backup systems and the ability to analyze outages and prevent widespread systems failures.

  6. Smart Grid History Governments across the world have been interested in overhauling their energy infrastructure for years. As a result, private companies have worked hard to develop Smart Grid Technology Solutions to help automate the process as much as possible. The earliest Smart Grid was developed in 1981 through the use of electronic meters, monitoring, and centralized control. In 1991 the Bonneville Power Administration developed sensors to monitor and record power anomalies. More recently, Miami was the first American city to fully adopt Custom Smart Grid Technology.

  7. Future of Smart Grids While the cost and effort necessary to overhaul a nation's existing energy infrastructure is considerable, a Smart Grid has the potential to increase stability, efficiency, and sustainability, reducing overall costs in the long term. For example, many advanced grids are installing and using smart meters, which can be programmed and monitored remotely.

  8. Final Thought This reduces the time and manpower necessary to manually read meters and determine pricing results. Many companies offer Smart Grid Meter Programming services. Chetu, for example, is an international company that develops specialized software to provide smart energy grid solutions.
