Abstract :
Electric power regulation and privatization is creating new challenges on high voltage transmission and energy distribution systems. The existing electrical infrastructures must be updated in order to meet the needs of the digital society. Smart Grid describes a next-generation electrical power system that creates an increased use of communications and information technology in generation, delivery and consumption of electrical energy.
