Definition of smart grid.

 The application of information


processing and communications to the
power grid.
 Smart grid discussions are often
focused on the distribution system,
 We will take an expansive definition of

 Include transmission and generation,
 Include end-use of electricity.

Homework Exercise:
Due Thursday, Jan. 26.
1 a) Without looking at a dictionary or a search engine, define what
you would mean by “self-healing.” You might use an example in terms
of healing of a cut or wound, but try to make the definition generic.
b) Use a search engine to obtain a definition of “self-healing grid.”
Avoid circular or self-referential definitions such as “a self-healing grid
is a grid that can heal itself.” Define specifically what is meant by the
webpages that refer to self-healing grid.
c) Compare the two meanings of self-healing. Is the definition of self-
healing grid a reasonable one, given your prior understanding (as
described in part a)) of what it generically means to be self-healing.
d) Find as many definitions as you can of:
(i) “smart grid,”
(ii) “microgrid,”
(iii) “digital grid.”
