Description:
Entering the digital age.... IBM is helping utilities add a layer of digital intelligence to their grids. These smart grids use sensors, meters, digital controls and analytic tools to automate, monitor and control the two-way flow of energy across operations—from power plant to plug. A power company can optimize grid performance, prevent outages, restore outages faster and allow consumers to manage energy usage right down to the individual networked appliance."Smart" grids can also incorporate new sustainable energies such as wind and solar generation, and interact locally with distributed power sources, or plug-in electric vehicles.

May 12, 2010 - The size of the global smart grid market is estimated to be worth $500 billion by 2020 and the potential for jobs in this sector is enormous. The Smart Grid market in the U.S. is expected to double by 2014. With countries like the United States vowing to fight climate change, the implementation of the 'smart' system is vital. Transformer company, Pacific Crest Transformers has good information on the Smart Grid and the role of transformers on its website.
