The document discusses opportunities for smart grid projects under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. It allocated $4.5 billion for smart grid initiatives, including $3.375 billion for Smart Grid Investment Grants and $615 million for Smart Grid Demonstration projects. The grants and demonstrations will fund projects that modernize the electric grid through technologies like integrated communications, sensing/measurement, advanced components, advanced control methods, and improved interfaces. Eligible entities can receive up to 50% of project costs for investments ranging from $500,000 to $20 million.

While most analysts call for speeds of 100 Mbps to enable multiple streams of HDTV, Wayne says that's shortsighted. This 2006 presentation helps justify fiber-to-the-home and gigabit speeds with examples of applications that need that performance.
Home Area Networks: A Preferred Choice for Energy EfficiencyCognizant
The day is here when home area networks (HANs) contribute to energy efficiency for utilities and home users; the way forward will be driven by automated demand response (ADR), automated demand side management (DSM), dynamic pricing, and electric vehicle (EV) charging among other key factors.

Projects
• Integrated communications, connecting components to open
architecture for real-time information and control,
allowing every part of the grid to both ‘talk’
and ‘listen’
• Sensing and measurement technologies,
to support faster and more accurate response
such as remote monitoring, time-of-use pricing
and demand-side management
• Advanced components, to apply the latest research in
superconductivity, storage, power electronics and diagnostics
• Advanced control methods, to monitor essential components,
enabling rapid diagnosis and precise solutions appropriate to
any event
• Improved interfaces and decision support, to amplify human
decision-making, transforming grid operators and managers quite
literally into visionaries when it come to seeing into their systems
