The current electricity infrastructure in the Unites States consists of one way “communication” between the electric company and the homes receiving the electricity with the communication coming from the electric company to the homes. The current electricity infrastructure in the United States is more than 100 years old and because of this fact‚ it is outdated resulting in a great lack of efficiency. There is no way for the electricity company to obtain information from the individual homes pertaining

ABSTRACT This document provides information for a report to congress on Smart Grid security as required by Section 1309 of Title XIII of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The security of any future Smart Grid is dependent on successfully addressing the cyber security issues associated with the nation’s current power grid. Smart Grid will utilize numerous legacy systems and technologies that are currently installed.Therefore‚ known vulnerabilities in these legacy systems must

a.) Smart grid is an electricity network type which integrates digital communication features to the service. Generally it provides central energy management to both parties of the electricity network‚ it enables • Consumers to monitor their utilization‚ costs and provide recommendations on usage habits. • Micro-stations to manage and monitor their input to electricity network • Providing remote monitoring micro-stations input to electricity network from • Power distributors to manage their grid

traditional model of electricity generation and distribution is very old and not efficient. Technological advances applied in every sector nowadays but not in electricity generation model. As a result of high demand‚ the traditional model has become too costly‚ and now oil costs increased‚ and especially coal-fired generation has contributed to environmental pollution. And traditional model has big problems in terms of security since some big horrendous experiences with electricity deregulations and

CASE STUDY 1: What’s the Buzz on Smart Grids? 1. How do smart grids differ from the current electricity infrastructure in the United States? Current electricity grids do not provide any information about how consumers actually use energy. That makes it difficult to develop more efficient approaches to distribution. The current system offers few ways to handle power provided by alternative energy sources. Without useful information‚ energy companies and consumers have difficulty making good
