Introduction
Smart Grids
'Smart grids are energy networks that can automatically monitor energy flows and adjust to changes in energy supply and demand accordingly.
When paired with smart meters, which measure the energy fed into and consumed from the grid, they can provide real-time information on energy-usage to consumers and suppliers.
Since smart grids can respond to changes in supply and demand, they are well suited to cope with variations in supply from renewable energy sources, helping to integrate more wind and solar, as well as new electricity loads, such as heat pumps and electric vehicles.'
