The promise of a smarter electricity grid could significantly
change how consumers use and pay for their electrical power, and
could fundamentally reshape the current Industry. Gaining
increasing interest and acceptance, Smart Grid technologies
combine power generation and delivery systems with advanced
communication systems to help save energy, reduce energy costs
and improve reliability. Taken together, these technologies
support new approaches for load balancing and power distribution,
allowing optimal runtime power routing and cost management. Such
unprecedented capabilities, however, also present a set of new
problems and challenges at the technical and regulatory levels
that must be addressed by Industry and the Research Community.
