Real-time monitoring and display of powersystem components and perf ormance, across interconnections and over large geographic areas, help system operators to understand and optimise power system components, behaviour and perf ormance. Advanced system operation tools avoid blackouts and f acilitate the integration of variable renewable energy resources. Monitoring and control technologies along with advanced system analytics including wide-area situational awareness (WASA), wide-area monitoring systems (WAMS), and wide-area adaptive protection, control and automation (WAAPCA) generate data to inf orm decision making, mitigate widearea disturbances, and improve transmission capacity and reliability.
Inf ormat ion and communicat ions t echnology int egrat ion
Underlying smart grid communications inf rastructure, whether using private utility communication networks (radio networks, meter mesh networks) or public carriers and networks (Internet, cellular, cable or telephone), support data transmission f or def erred and real-time operation, and during outages. Along with communication devices, signif icant computing, system control sof tware and enterprise resource planning sof tware support the two-way exchange of inf ormation between stakeholders, and enable more ef f icient use and management of the grid.
Customer-side systems
Customer-side systems, which are used to help manage electricity consumption at the industrial, service and residential levels, include energy management systems, energy storage devices, smart appliances and distributed generation.
Energy ef f iciency gains and peak demand reduction can be accelerated with in-home displays/energy dashboards, smart appliances and local storage. Demand response includes both manual customer response and automated, price-responsive appliances and thermostats that are connected to an energy management system or controlled with a signal f rom the utility or system operator.
