3. Introduction
 Development of a cable that will make an
efficient electric grid of the future possible.
 Armchair quantum wire (AQW) will be a weave of
metallic nanotubes that can carry electricity with
negligible loss over long distances.
 Which leaks electricity at an estimated 5 percent per
100 miles of transmission.

4. Power grid

5. Objectives of Power Grid
 When supply is more than demand , power
is wasted.
 Negligible loss over long distances by
using nanotubes.

6. Nanotubes
 Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of
carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure.
 Which are valuable for nanotechnology
electronics, optical, & other filed of material
science and technology.

7. Features
 An electric grid is a network of synchronized power
providers and consumers.
 Nanotubes will make efficient power grid.

8. How Power Grid Work
 Armchair quantum wire (AQW) will be a weave
of Nanotubes
 Electricity at an estimated 5% per 100 miles of
transmission.

9. Importance
 Reliability
 Flexibility
 Economics competition

10. Advantages
 Less pollution : Pollution can be kept away from
cities and large power stations.
 Efficiency :Efficiency will be high.

11. Disadvantages
 Some power is wasted heating the (AQW) cables.
 Expensive, demand a lot of investment which is
difficult for economically in India.

12. Conclusion
 Modern economies are dependent on reliable and
secure electricity services.
 All parts of the smart grid must be fast enough,
small enough and cheap enough in order to satisfy
the purpose of smart power grid.
