Smart Grid

What is smart Grid and is it safe ?

In this post i want to share with you information about smart grid.A smart grid is a modernized electrical grid that uses analogue or digital information and communication technology  to gather and act on information, such as information about the behaviours of suppliers and consumers, in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability  of the production and distribution of electricity.You can watch more detail information in below video.As we know technology helps us to make life easier we should be aware of how technology can make our life worst.With the advent of cybercrime there is also concern on the security of the infrastructure, primarily that involving communications technologies. Concerns chiefly center around the communications technology at the heart of the smart grid. Designed to allow real-time contact between utilities and meters in customers' homes and businesses, there is a risk that these capabilities could be exploited for criminal or even terrorist actions.^[7] One of the key capabilities of this connectivity is the ability to remotely switch off power supplies, enabling utilities to quickly and easily cease or modify supplies to customers who default on payment.You can watch more detail information in the second video which i have shared.
