STUDY BACKGROUND

$80 billion and $188 billion University of Minnesota

Energy efficiency

Environmental impacts

Consumer choice.

Governments and utilities in the U.S. and elsewhere are investing in new technologies in order to build a 21st-century grid that:

Runs more efficiently

Generates higher-quality power

Resists attack

Is self-healing

Enables consumers to manage their energy use better and reduce costs

Integrates decentralized generation (e.g., renewable energy) and storage (such as fuel cell) technologies.

In addition to meeting the need for reliable, high-quality power, these technologies are intended to meet the economy's energy needs as efficiently as possible, optimizing energy consumption and related environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions.These technologies are often referred to generically as smart grid technologies. Smart grid describes a set of related technologies, rather than specific technology with a generally agreed-on specification. These technologies fall into five main areas:

Two-way integrated communications: allow for real-time control, information and data exchange to optimize system reliability, asset utilization, and security

Sensing and measurement: evaluate congestion and grid stability, congestion and grid stability, monitor equipment health, detect energy theft, and support control strategies support

Advanced components: flexible alternating current transmission system devices, high-voltage direct current, first- and second-generation superconducting wire, high-temperature superconducting cable, distributed energy generation and storage devices, composite conductors, and "intelligent" appliances

Advanced control that enables rapid diagnosis of and precise solutions to specific grid disruptions or outages

Improved interfaces and decision support that reduce complexity so that operators and managers have tools to effectively and efficiently operate a grid with increasing numbers of variables.
