Description (excerpt):
Around the world there is strong consensus that we are about to see significant changes in the way we use and generate electricity. Innovations in areas such as renewable and micro-generation, heating and the mass commercial development of electric vehicles (EV) will place new requirements on the networks that transmit and distribute electricity. Meeting these requirements will necessitate large scale investment in these networks to make them more intelligent, efficient and secure. In time these investments will be replicated in every country around the world. The term used to describe these new networks is smart grid.
