Vision of a Smart Grid

The Smart Grid will:• Enable active participation by consumers• Accommodate all generation & storage options• Enable new products, services & markets• Provide power quality for the digital economy

• Optimize asset utilization and operate efficiently• Anticipate & respond to system disturbances

(self-heal)• Operate resiliently against attack & natural

disaster
