What will a smart grid mean to you?

Demystify and understand the benefits of smart grids

Smart grids don't tend to start out smart. Most of our electricity distribution network has been around since long before the 'smart' era. A smart grid is an electricity distribution network with some added ICT, but, unfortunately, it's not quite that simple. Technology is only part of what enables a smart grid. What's also required is a massive cultural change in the way that distribution grids are planned, operated and managed. And the impact of smart grids doesn't stop at the distributors.

This guide will help you understand the full impact of smart grids and help guide you through the maze.

• Identify a smart grid

• Recognise the business drivers
