WHAT IT ISN’T. part 1: what it is. The electric industry is poised to make the transformation �� is less centralized and more consumer-interactive. The move to a smarter grid promises to change the industry’s entire �� consumers of electric power.
A smarter grid makes this transformation possible by bringing �� it enables the industry’s best ideas for grid modernization to achieve their full potential. Concepts in action. It may surprise you to know that many of these ideas are already �� the two-way digital communication and plug-and-play capabilities that exemplify a smarter grid that genuine breakthroughs begin to multiply. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is an approach to integrating consumers based upon the development of open standards. It provides consumers with the ability to use electricity �� it costs in near real-time – a Smart Grid imperative – price signals are relayed to “smart” home controllers or end-consumer devices �� based on consumers’ learned wishes and power accordingly. The �� POWER SYSTEM FACT AVERAGE COST FOR 1 HOUR OF POWER INTERRUPTION INDUSTRY AMOUNT Cellular communications $41,000 Telephone ticket sales $72,000 Airline reservation system $90,000 Semiconductor manufacturer $2,000,000 Credit card operation $2,580,000 Brokerage operation $6,480,000 �� that would otherwise be consumed. �� possessed none of the potential that it does today.
