Abstract
Advances in technology and major programs to enhance the electric power system throughout the world have led to the concept of the “Smart Grid”. This concept has been formally defined in various places and is driving many of the current changes in educational curricula at all levels. This paper provides a brief summary of the known definitions and the resulting educational needs for the technical workforce of the future.
