DESCRIPTION:Managing the future grid will require creative\, innovative sol
 utions. This is because of uncertainties being introduced by the growth of
  less predictable & reliable renewable generation resources\, demand respo
 nse programs\, distributed generation\, microgrids\, potential cyber-secur
 ity issues and the aging infrastructure. Energy Management Systems (EMS) h
 ave been deployed for decades at utility control centers to manage the ele
 ctricity grid in real-time. Today these EMS capabilities are poised to be 
 enhanced quite dramatically with growth of synchrophasor PMU measurements.
  Solutions to decentralize management of the grid are also being introduce
 d – these include Distribution Management Systems\, Substation Automatio
 n and advances in grid control devices. These new solutions will help us m
 anage the uncertainties and challenges of the future smart grid.\n\nCo-spo
