submissions. They focus on smart grid as the next generation of electrical grid which will
enable the smart integration of conventional renewable and distributed power generation
energy storage transmission and distribution and demand management. The benefits of smart
grid include enhanced reliability and resilience higher intelligence and optimized control
decentralized operation higher operational efficiency more efficient demand management and
better power quality.
