Smart Grid:
It’s a network that is linked with digital communication to detect and react to changes in usage to provide electricity is called smart grid. This modern technology made efficiency, reliability sustainability of the production and the distribution of electricity a lot easier.
Electric utilities have found themselves making three classes of transformation: improvement of infrastructure, called the strong grid in China; addition of the digital layer, which is the main priority of smart grid; and business process of modernization that has been going on in the modernization of the electric grid, the substation and the distribution automation now included in the general concept of the smart grid, but it is evolving as well.

Initially the grid was designed to send electricity from power stantions which were located outside of the city to the peoples home. With the smart grid , the generated power from solar and wind can be shared more efficiently in community.
Some of the conditions of the system as we know it, the market price paid for energy reflects the actual cost of its production. Two factors are quite uncontrollable:
1. The measurement of energy usage accurately
2. The demand that often requires utilizing higher cost energy supplies.
A planned architecture for the global network providers will improve such as these,
1. All components of the network monitored and controlled
2. Cyber attacks secruity
3. Rapid response and its solution( computer based )
4. The amount of power and the price that has to be paid both saved.
A few benefits of smart grid :
1. Energy production and consumption remotely monitored and controlled
2. Measurement using digital technology more accurately
3. Electricity cists reduced for a more accurate response
4. Energy usage by consumers with better decision making
5. Grid and end users two way communication between them
6. Management of the grid by providers more
