Smart Grid has become a hot topic with everyone from Washington to families around America's kitchen tables. So what is Smart Grid? The "grid" consists of the networks that carry electricity from the plants where it is generated to consumers, and includes wires, substations, transformers, switches and much more. "Smart Grid" generally refers to a class of technology designed to modernize the existing utility grid to improve the efficiency on the power network and in energy users' homes and businesses. The Smart Grid is made possible by two-way communication between the power plants and wind farms and the consumers in homes and businesses.
