The document discusses smart grid domains and zones. It defines smart grid as an electricity network that uses digital communications to detect and react to local usage changes. The smart grid is described as having several domains including generation, transmission, distribution and consumer. Within each domain are zones such as field, station and operations that facilitate information flow. The smart grid aims to allow generators of all sizes, empower consumers and reduce environmental impact through innovative monitoring and control technologies.

48. What is Smart Grid ?
"Smart Grid" is today used as a marketing term, rather than a technical definition. For this
reason there is no well defined and commonly accepted scope of what "smart" is and
what it is not.
An electricity supply network that uses digital communications technology to detect and
react to local changes in usage.
The general understanding is that the Smart Grid is the concept of modernizing the electric
grid.
Through the addition of Smart Grid technologies the grid becomes more flexible,
interactive and is able to provide real time feedback

49. What Smart Grid should do?
A Smart Grid employs innovative products and services together with
intelligent monitoring & control, communication, and self-healing technologies to:
 facilitate the connection and operation of generators of all sizes and technologies;
 allow consumers to play a part in optimizing the operation of the system;
 provide consumers with greater information and choice of supply;
 significantly reduce the environmental impact of the whole electricity supply system;
 deliver enhanced levels of reliability and security of supply.
