2. What is the electric grid? The electric grid is the path
over which electricity flows from power generating facilities
across high-voltage, high volume transmission lines to local
communities The grid interconnects generators, power transmission
systems, local distribution utilities and end users of electricity
The system is designed and operated for safe, reliable electric
reliability under constantly changing load conditions.
3. What makes it a smart grid? Smart grid is an umbrella term
for the modernization of electric transmission and distribution. It
is an integration of a more modern electric grid with
communications and information systems to better monitor and
control the flow and consumption of energy. Save energy Reduced
Cost Increase Reliability
4. What are smart meters and its benefits? A smart or advanced
meter is an electric meter that acts as a gateway for two-way
communications or information exchange between the consumer and the
utility Measure Energy Usage with Greater Detail Provide Consume
energy data to utility in Real time via home display and web based
Program. Remote Function Detect Meter Tampering and offer new
pricing programs to encourage peak load reduction. It can be more
motivated to take advantage of incentives to reduce consumption,
especially during peak demand periods, and save money.
5. How are smart meters different than current meters? From
Conventional Meters which can provide usage data to the companys
information systems for monthly billing. Smart meter can provide
last gasp notification of outages and detect possible theft. The
newer, advanced meters are considered bi-directional or two-way and
can be linked to the utilitys communications network and smart
grid, as well as a consumers home area network, programmable
thermostat, and smart appliances.
6. Benefits of Smart Meter/Smart Grid Improved power quality,
More efficient Secure power delivery Enhanced electric reliability
Prepayment Options Available Load survey / profiling helping in
demand forecasting Over-the-air firmware and configuration upgrade
More accurate bills smart meters mean the end of estimated bills,
and the end of overpaying (or underpaying) for your energy
Automatic Meter Reading Through ZIGBEE/HAN/LAN Network. Better
oversight and management of your energy use with a real-time data
display in your home
