Why Do We Need Smart Grid?
Traditional grids are aging and can’t meet the increasing demand for growing electricity. Governments are struggling to build up a smart grid. Why smart grid so important at the national and global levels?
Let’s first know about the definition of the smart grid. It is an electricity network the system that consists of infrastructure, hardware, and software solutions that enable two-way communication between equipment and participants in the supply chain, while the traditional grid with one-way communications.
In a smart grid system, the power is generated from different power sources, such as traditional power plants, renewable energy, solar, wind, as well as plug-in electric vehicles and energy storage.
On the other hand, end-users can monitor energy consumption and remotely control power usage thanks to IoT-based visualization smart systems and smart meters, sensor-enabled appliances, smart sockets, plugs, etc.
Smart grid connects homes, communities, cities, and villages. Manage departments can monitor the consumption and loads in their office by data analytics and visualization tools. Managers make future decisions easily based on clean and finished data. For example, managers can arrange predictive maintenance according to operating data. Grid assets will get better protection and reduce losses due to equipment operating defaults. For grid owners, they can prevent electricity theft, reduce asset loss, reduce electricity bill losses, and improve efficiency.
Customers can clearly know where their money runs for and which period or which device costs more. They can manually control on APP and cut the consumption when energy is the most expensive.
So smart grid is effective for cutting costs and risks. On the other hand, the smart grid can reduce emissions and carbon-heavy electricity. As smart grid systems are suitable for the development of renewable energy and make people control the process of energy consumption, it integrates intelligence, visibility, control, and communication into the energy consumption process, so smart grid boost green energy adoption.
Our company is good at remote data acquisition technology that can be used in solar power remote monitoring systems, IoT-based energy management systems, smart grids, etc. Our goal is to make life easier, make the system simpler, and make the charge transparent.
