To further understand the advantages of a Smart Grid, let us now see the four characteristics that differentiate it from a traditional power grid. She is: flexible: facilitates the management of variations in generation and consumption; reliable: thanks to information sent in real time and remote network management, the risk of power outages and incidents is reduced; affordable: all different energy sources can be integrated into the network and, thanks to the interconnections present, consumers can also take advantage of renewable energy generated in large quantities in distant regions, when there is not enough in the locality; economic: better management leads to reduced costs. In the business field, specifically, companies with Smart Grids will benefit from reduced power outages, lower costs and better measurement of consumption. In addition, the technology favors projects of environmental responsibility, since, with better control, it is possible to reduce carbon emissions. Ho...
