A new DOE report DOE details the status of the Smart Grid across America. Conclusion: AMI, substation automation, and distributed generation are growing rapidly, while other technologies are just in their infancy. Produced to fulfill the DOE’s legislative mandate, the report also discusses regulatory and government barriers.

Quick Take: Beyond merely documenting facts, the report also analyzes the cultural changes the Smart Grid is likely to create. Chief among them: a new relationship with customers and new security dangers.

Hello!

I am a young man from Australia. I was wondering to look into Smart Grid to become an expert in it. I have done some modelling related to it. Could be connected to you to ponder about some questions.

Smart Grid: The Tuesday Topic - Smart Grid News - Grid Modernization and the Smart Grid

THE TUESDAY TOPIC

Will natural gas kill the smart grid?

Natural gas is getting so cheap that it may become cheaper and faster to slap up a gas-fired peaking plant than to implement a complicated demand response or renewable project - two of the biggest drivers of a smart grid. Yikes! Will natural gas alternatives make the smart grid too expensive by comparison? That's this week's Tuesday Topic in our discussion forum. Please join in.
