Course Introduction
The modernization of the Electric Power Grid, often called "Smart Grid" by its proponents, is an important goal. Efforts such as the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and the other phases of intelligent grid management are all part of the smart grid. Having better control of the power grid will improve its Reliability and Efficiency and, as applications are developed for end users, point-of-use monitoring and control of power usage will benefit utilities by reducing peak loads and benefit consumers.
In grid-automation applications, the control system forms the core of the design with the communications media being a secondary consideration that can be implemented in a number of ways. Each Technology has advantages and disadvantages and each is "best" for some circumstances. Because of the complex layout of the Power Grid and the various equipment connected to it.
Many of the Techniques used to send information to and from the Power Grid have been shown to avoid widespread Interference Problems. If an Electric Utility is implementing Grid Automation, this does not necessarily mean that there will be interference. If a utility uses a technology that does not cause interference, or if operating a BPL system runs it at the correct power levels with notching in the Amateur bands, grid automation hardware can operate without widespread interference problems. BPL can and does play a role in grid automation, especially for the in-premise part of these systems. Other media will also be used.
