Smart Energy

The economic growth and increasing number of electric power consumers make it impossible to meet their energy needs only via the centralized sources. Distributed-energy generation technologies are an innovative method of energy saving. It is a new approach to the reliability, affordability, cost efficiency and safety of power grids. Innovative development enables the transformation of existing centralized energy saving systems into SMART technology (smart grids).
Development of smart power grids will improve the existing systems of electronic control, measurement, synchronization and monitoring. It is important to analyze the degree to which the Russian energy sector is ready for the introduction of alternative energy sources.

A separate discussion will be devoted to the development of SMART GRID, an innovative system in which optimization of electricity networks is achieved through the decentralization of management and control via local network nodes.
