Smart Grids
The Smart Grid is a new concept of integrating the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) over the electric power grid. The communications architecture is intended to address intelligent management functions in power systems. The automated management and the computational inteligence will lead many advantages over the actual systems. One can itemize many of them, as flexibility, resilience, sustainability and customization. Moreover, a variety of distributed renewable energy sources (wind farms, solar panels, energy of tides, electric vehicles fleet and so on) will be integrated to the new power grid. This new concept of power integration plays its contributing role effectively in the reduction of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere leading to sustainable development.
