This first edition of The Impact of the Smart Grid on Utilities, Customers, and National Security provides an understanding of what the smart grid is, the changes that it will bring about, customer concerns that may create a barrier to implementation and vulnerabilities in the electric system that might be introduced or exacerbated by its introduction. The report, offered by Research and Markets, also notes that the current grid is based on technology invented more than 100 years ago, and that today it is inefficient, congested and incapable of meeting the future energy needs of the information economy without major operational changes and long-term investment.
