TECHNICAL GAPS

EXPLANATION

1

Computerizing the Electrical Grid

Smart grid is a two way communication so we need to add up two ways channel to the devices connected to the grid.

2

Electric Meters

Advance meters are to be used like AMU (Advance Monitoring Unit) which can store data that how much power is consumed and how much is generated and supplied to other users.

3

Automation Technology

In normal grid if any fault arises it is very difficult to assess the point but in smart grid, fault assessment is easy.

4

Automatically repairing of fault without supply interruption

In normal grid if any fault arises, person is send to repair the fault but in case of smart grid if any fault arises in the line that will be automatically repaired

5

Load Information

ATC (Available Transfer Capability) can be assessed

6

Energy Flow

Transmission and distribution of next generation will be able to handle bidirectional energy flow, which allows distributed generation

7

More use of renewable resources

Distributed Generation can be emphasized

8

Advanced Services

Smart Grid is an decisive Grid with autonomous use of resources
