The document outlines a 12-step strategy for utilities to deploy a smart grid from generators to customers. It begins by defining the smart grid and its goals of improving sustainability, security, reliability and efficiency. The first step is to establish a program management structure to guide the multi-year project through stakeholder engagement, needs assessment, and development of a project execution plan with budgets and schedules. Subsequent steps address business analysis, demand management, data collection and integration, distributed generation, energy efficiency and more.
This paper describes a service-oriented architecture for data acquisition and control leveraging some of the latest concepts in software engineering. By addressing the business requirements to support role-based applications
and services, the platform removes the “islands of automation” issue and allows a vertical decomposition of the application stack to lower the barrier to entry for new applications

Benchmarking leading smart grid projects
Experts have discussed theoretical smart grid maturity models for over a decade. But until now utilities and other stakeholders had no way to benchmark their results globally. Ventyx and ABB selected international energy think-tank VaasaETT to develop the Smart Grid Global Impact Report, the first-ever global research into smart grid projects and their outcomes. The report focuses on a common set of smart grid goals –or five pillars–which deliver returns against some of the industry’s biggest challenges.

Addressing the challenge of energy efficiency through ICTFiras Obeido
High Performance buildings: are designed and built to minimize energy usage and environmental impacts, while maximizing comfort, health, and safety.
Smart Buildings: Leverage technology to provide enhanced performance and are connected and responsive to the “smart” power grid, which is emerging as information technology is applied to the infrastructure that delivers our electricity.
Energy Information Management: Is the useful visualization of information resulting from data collection, mining and other analytics.
Truly smart buildings will leverage knowledge that resides outside its walls.
Introducing programs that allow real-time adjustment of demand in addition to supply when wholesale prices are high or when grid reliability is in question or high demand is expected.
Two-way communication between the Grid & the Building where software conversation actually makes the Grid & the Building talk to each other.
The ICT sector can boost energy efficiency and enable emission reductions in a number of ways:
• Standardize
• Monitor
• Account
• Rethink
• Transform
Energy efficiency measures contribute to an organization’s sustainability goals, such as tracking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But if the data is trapped within the building management system, executive level decision-makers may not find it.
The underlying principle that drives the connections between smart technology, sustainability, and efficiency is the access to better information that enables more effective decision making, which in turn results in more efficient operations and fewer resource requirements.
Key Aspect for Approach of Smart Grid Design Systemijtsrd
With development of smart grid technology, power generation and distribution network acts as new brain in this field. In this technology, the network will not only get going to integrated and set communicable all over the country but its demand will be tracked by the control centers in different aspect and at high time the usage of power is going to cost higher than the actual rate with intimation given to the customer through notification via sms or email. Through this research, the designing for Smart Grids was inspected from a logical aspect, monitoring its behavioral, and physical, and must observe the optimal integration of entire system. From the conventional distribution system, we can see the designed for the control of all the constituents as observe to be autonomous with each other. Thus, centralization in control and consolidated functionality are the main challenges discover by the distribution system. To minimize these matter of concern, the term ""distribution system and its responsibilities"" came into effect by using information and communications technology ICT to power the resolution in circulating distribution system. For preparing the outline in this aspect, this paper aims to present a layout in initiating smart grid technology and responsibilities. In contrast we argue to design an interest in the field of Smart Grid.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
