2013. — 8 c.The electric grid is a key piece of critical infrastructure upon whose operation the economy depends. For that, always companies have tried to use the latest technology in infrastructure and operation optimization. Based on that, we can conclude that the electrical grid always was Smart aligned with the technology available at every moment
Today we can send enormous volume of data from and to any place at relative low cost in investment and operation. This allows us to have information in real time not only from big generation plants, also from domestic consumers. In other words, Go from turbine to toaster
But first question is what really we want to control and to do what? And second question is: Is the actual infrastructure prepared to deploy all the functionality required for a complete Smartgrid deployment. Are we pretending to built a building on a basement prepared for a single house?.
Paper pretends to give a vision of the overall situation in order to show the enormous challenges that we have in front, if we pretend to apply new technologies in Grid optimization.
