To move forward\, we need a new kind of electric grid\, one that is built fr om the bottom up to handle the groundswell of digital and computerized equ ipment and technology dependent on it—and one that can automate and mana ge the increasing complexity and needs of electricity in this century.\n\n The digital technology that allows for two-way communication between the u tility and its customers\, and the smart sensing along the transmission li nes is what makes the grid smart. Like the Internet\, the Smart Grid will consist of controls\, computers\, automation\, new technologies and smart sensing equipment working together.\n\nThe Smart Grid represents an unprec edented opportunity to move the electrical energy industry into a new era of deregulation\, reliability\, availability\, and efficiency that will co ntribute to our economic and environmental health. During the transition p eriod\, it will be critical to carry out testing\, technology improvements \, consumer education\, development of standards and regulations\, and inf ormation sharing between projects to ensure that the benefits we envision from the Smart Grid become a reality.\n\nThe benefits associated with the Smart Grid include:\n\n- More efficient transmission of electricity .Quick er restoration of electricity after power disturbances.Reduced operations and management costs for utilities\, and ultimately lower power costs for consumers.Reduced peak demand\, which will also help lower electricity rat es.Increased integration of large-scale renewable energy systems.Better in tegration of customer-owner power generation systems\, including renewable energy systems.Finally improved security with more resiliency.\n\nToday\, an electricity disruption such as a blackout can have a domino effect—a series of failures that can affect banking\, communications\, traffic\, a nd security. A smarter grid will add resiliency to our electric power Syst em and make it better prepared to address emergencies such as severe storm s\, earthquakes\, large solar flares\, and terrorist attacks. Because of i ts two-way interactive capacity\, the Smart Grid will allow for automatic rerouting when equipment fails or outages occur. This will minimize outage s and minimize the effects when they do happen.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Prof. Subhas Mukhopadhyay\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Dr. Chandan Chanda\, \n\nRoom: 14 9\, Macquarie University\, E6B\, Sydney\, New South Wales\, Australia\, 21 09 LOCATION:Room: 149\, Macquarie University\, E6B\, Sydney\, New South Wales\ , Australia\, 2109 ORGANIZER:Subhas.Mukhopadhyay@mq.edu.au SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:SMART GRID : OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/48429 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>SMART GRID : OPPORTUNITIES AND THR EATS</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Dr. C K Chanda\, MIEEE\, MIET(UK)\, FIE(I)\, MISTE(I)</strong></p>\n<p>Professor\, Electrical Engineering Department</ p>\n<p>Indian Institue of Engineering Science and Technology \, Botanical Garden\, Howrah\, India</p>\n<p>mail Id : ckc_math@yahoo.com \, ckc@ee.iie sts.ac.in</p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p>\n<p>Although the electric grid is considered an engineering marvel\, we are stretching its patchwor k nature to its capacity.
