The Smart Grid: Enabling Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Clark W. Gellings
Publisher:

At the same time, smart grid startups from home energy analysis and efficiency startup Opower, to demand response and customer data integration specialist AutoGrid, are using the latest in big-data technologies to tackle specific utility needs. Enables active participation by consumers in demand response; Self-heals from power disturbance events; Operates resiliently against physical and cyber attack; Provides power quality for 21st century needs; Accommodates all which can make the system work more efficiently through improved communication and integration. Electric, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Southern California Edison, to successfully engage customers with the benefits of the smart grid, smart meters, demand response and other enabling technology and devices for home energy “As consumers become more educated about smart grid and smart meters, and have access to more information, pricing, and automation applications, their knowledge and favorability grows, and so does our nation's energy efficiency.”. Farrell suggested, “looking to energy efficiency and conservation, or smart-grid enabled demand response. On a "value-based modeling" service that enables utilities to identify and validate the unique value proposition of smart grid analytics for their specific . Smart meters Distributed resources, such as electric vehicles and various forms of solar and wind generation, are maximizing renewable resources and leveraging the available resources to accommodate peak demand. Utilities will one day be able to use the data from their smart grid networks for split-second decisions like to help with load management, outage avoidance, and demand response. On the consumer portion of the smart grid, real time data is important, too, and will For example, data that can be mined to make their systems more efficient, or enable utilities to predict the outcome of events. For states that can't meet their demand completely from renewables, Mr. C3 Energy has even worked with Accenture and McKinsey & Co. Hardware techniques monitor physical security, enabling responses to tamper events. As smart meter rollouts continue globally, consumers, design engineers, and utilities discuss how the smart grid will transform the entire energy industry. The chart above is a simplified diagram showing how energy and information moves through the smart grid.
