A smart grid (SG) is a modern electric grid with a two-way flow of electricity and data between power utilities and consumers. Unlike a conventional electric grid, a smart grid is a digital technology-based electricity network driven by automation, communication, and connectivity.



Imagine a resilient electric grid better equipped to manage varying energy demands and better prepared to handle energy emergencies because of the intelligent two-way interactive capacity.



The rise of the smart grid is due to its potential to improve grid resilience, energy independence, and reliability, among other factors. Across the world, digital technology-enabled grids are driving smarter resource use and helping consumers, as well as power industry stakeholders reduce costs, save energy, and make better energy usage decisions.



A smart grid is a vital component of the global energy transition because a smart grid helps in providing clean energy and sustaining long-term economic growth while enabling us to achieve our carbon emission reduction goals.
