Abstract
This article examines the scale of the problem of global electrification and some solutions to this problem. In particular, it details the Intelligrid project. Intelligrid aims to develop the overall technical framework, or architecture, for the intelligent electricity grid of the future, and is driven by the Electric Power Research Institute´s affiliate, the Electricity Innovation Institute (E2I), and the Consortium for an Electric Infrastructure to Support a Digital Society (CEIDS). Described as an open, systems-based architecture, Intelligrid is seen as crucial to supporting the data communications networks and equipment needed for a future power delivery infrastructure.
