Smart Grids From 160 to 200 GW in two Years ................ Nations across the world are faced with the challenge of increasing power production while reducing the carbon footprint. they need to minimise power loss and downtime, harness alternative power sources, and so on and so forth. the numerous challenges facing them have one solution—smart grids!                         Though we are nowhere close to that vision today, it serves as a starting point for our exploration of the smart grid. A smart grid is a giant network. It is like a crochet tablecloth—complex yet simple, breathtakingly beautiful and very useful. Various points of power generation, the utility (electricity supply board) and the consumers—all connected by a network—communicate with each other, use the shared information to make intelligent decisions, and sometimes even use the network to control how each other works.
