All over the world power systems are facing radical change, to replace ageing assets and to make effective use of rapidly developing information and Communication technologies (ICTs). A new approach is needed that increases the efficiency significantly of the entire electrical delivery system but also increases the reliability of the system; reduce the green house emissions also. This new approach is Smart Grid. Smart Grid, facilitates real-time monitoring and control of power system and will help in the reduction of AT&C losses, peak load management, demand response, integration of renewable energy, power quality management, outage management etc., The objective of this seminar is to introduce some of the smart grid technologies and applications, covering the following topics.
