  1. Massoud Aminon the benefits of Smart Grid The smart grid is changing the way utilities converse with their clients. Smart grid technology, including control systems and automation that assist new technologies work together, assists a power grid that can reply digitally to change electricity demand quickly. The smart grid allows electricity producers to enhance availability, reliability, and efficiency. It can offer cost savings for utilities and customers and even environmental benefits. It will permit for faster restoration of power after outages, and assists better integration of distributed generation resources, including renewable energy, to the larger grid. It also assists grid integration of large-scale renewable energy resources. It is designed to improve the security of the grid, allowing power generators, along with transmission and distribution operators, to respond and recognize more quickly to grid anomalies. Massoud Amin, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, is known for leadership in smart grids and security of critical infrastructures. He explains that smart grid offers several benefits, some of which are mentioned below: •Through advance metering, utilities are able to offer demand response programs, which are meant to assist energy users in cutting back on power usage during summers and winters by decreasing peak-demand periods on the grid, saving you money. •Digital metering is permitting individuals to modest their household energy handling and lessen demand. It offers way in to their electric consumption data, particularly during high-energy usage peaks, which assist energy users make better informed energy choices. •The smart grid can slash air pollution from the electric utility sector as much as 30 % by 2030, saving several thousands of deaths a year. Also, the smart grid guarantees that renewable power sources such as, solar plants, wind farms, and hydro stations can be included. Yearly energy savings from the smart grid could equal 70 million road trips across the world. •Digital meters are allowing utilities to offer more trustworthy energy service which lessens the electric outages. Smart meters be able to report the location of an outage electronically before an individual will ever have to call their effectiveness, making reinstatement quicker and status notification to individuals much quicker. This is why Massoud Amin says that smart grid technologies represent varied ways to improve the efficiency of the power distribution and transmission system by making it possible to use accessible power infrastructure more competently. Implementation of smart grid solutions can for example, represent an alternative to investment in new power generation capacity or new power lines.
