　　Energy management in the Smart Grid

 

　　The Smart Grid is a new way of thinking and architecting the energy infrastructure. It applies to all aspects of the generation， distribution， and utilization of energy. If all three of these elements are in place and operational， a more intelligent and efficient “Smart Grid” can be constructed. A Smart Grid will optimize energy generation， delivery， and consumption by measuring and predicting the energy needed， and then generating and delivering it efficiently. A key element of the Smart Grid is the sensing， monitoring， and communicating of energy use by the consumer. Once energy use is known and ideally predictable by using big-data analytics， generation and delivery can be better managed. If consumption can be managed based on the availability of generated energy， additional efficiencies can be obtained.

 

　　Figure 1 illustrates the evolution of the Smart Grid. On the left side， the previous energy system was concentrated on power generation. The Smart Grid utilizes a more distributed approach to power generation， using multiple sources and a communications and sensing network to better manage energy delivery and utilization. Sensors are used throughout the Smart Grid to measure power. This is not only implemented at each use point， but also at each generation and distribution point so real-time decisions can be made that optimize the efficiency of the entire system.
