Smart Grid
■ Utilities need more Power to satisfy demand – but only a few days a year● Build 1 less Power Plant – save $350M
■ Change consumer behavior● Time of day billing
● Instantaneous feedback to consumers on usage
■ Utility can manage load directly● During times of peak load, the utilities can send commands to
control devices within the home (with prior agreement with consumer)
Smart Grid Integration Challenges
■ Integration Challenges1. From Utility to the Meter
2. From Meter to Smart Appliances (CPE)
