Abstract

in this we have touched upon features and various implementation challenges of deploying of Electrical Smart Grid. Though the Electrical Smart Grid Architecture involves wide and exhaustive combination of Elements, we have limited the discussions to a simple Smart Architecture involving Distribution Management Systems (DMS) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). There are various implementation challenges both technical and commercial such as interoperability, standardisation, cost implementations, process integrations etc. and the need of the hour is to explore the best solution to present power supply scenario.
