Abstract

The smart grid concept was introduced to the US utility industry by the Department of Energy (DOE). It was based on the visions of DOE´s Grid 2030 and National Electric Delivery Technologies Roadmap. The debate over what constitutes a smart grid is still emerging. Nevertheless, we all agree that smart grid concept is complex and contains many interdisciplinary technologies and strategies. It is difficult to view smart grid as separated technologies. Smart grid is not to develop an entire new system from scratch. Smart grid effort is to realize and leverage multiple disciplines that have been evolving during the past ten-twenty years. And, it is to take enterprise approaches to improve utility business operations and customer services. Intelligence of grid comes from integration. We believe analytics and information integration are building blocks of smart grids.
