A smart grid is an electricity network based on digital technology that is used to supply electricity to consumers via two-way digital communication allowing for monitoring, analysis, control and communication within the supply chain to help improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption and cost, and maximise the transparency and reliability of the energy supply chain.

It is highly supported by government institutions around the world due to its potential to control and deal with global warming, emergency resilience and energy independence scenarios.

However, the prevalence of internet access in most homes has made the smart grid more practically reliable to implement.

 

Smart grid devices transmit information in such a way that enables ordinary users, operators and automated devices to quickly respond to changes in smart grid condition systems.

A smart grid system can repair itself, encourage consumer involvement in grid operations, provide a consistent, premium-quality, leak-resistant power supply, facilitate the growth and profitability of electricity markets, and operate more efficiently.

The bulk of smart grid technologies are already used in other applications such as manufacturing and telecommunications and are being adapted for use in grid operations.

Global Energy, together with its partners, can deliver smart grid turnkey solutions to clients ranging from project origination & feasibility studies to planning, procurement and finally through to construction
