Abstract

Smart grid has recently been introduced to provide a smarter power grid via aiding sensors and intelligent devices. These devices will collect data from the power grid. In case of any problems, e.g., blackout, sometimes smart grid is able to heal itself automatically and oftentimes, the collected information from the power grid needs to be transmitted to the utilities (control centres), then according to the received information, the utilities will send commands to the power grid. Smart grid technology provide more efficient transmission of electricity, improved power quality, improved reliability, improved security, better integration between consumer and utility, reduction in peak load demand, reduction in operation and maintenance cost which in turn lower the electricity rates. Smart grid provides a batter option for consumer to switchover from an old electric grid to a new smart grid. This paper presents an overview on how the smart grid drives changes in consumer behaviour and the communication with smart Devices.
