Elements and Architecture
 Bidirectional data communication through „Smart
Meters“ – replacing of old electric meters
 Central Administration required
Evaluates all data to avoid energy thefts and to distribute
electricity in an efficient way
 Support smaller renewable energy like solar planels or
windpower
Benefits
 avoid energy thefts
 distribute electricity in an efficient way
 Households can save Energy
 Only one new meter is needed

Implementing Smart Grids
Driving Factors
 Competition
 Security and quality of supply
 Global targets on environmental protection
Implementing Smart Grids
Enabling Technologies
 most important basis for a comprehensive
implementation: Information and
communication technologies
 Sensing and measurement technologies
 Advanced components
 Advanced control methods
 Improved interfaces and decision support
Case Study: Great Walser

Conclusion
 Information and communication
technologies of great importance
 competition, societal changes and
demand for security and quality of
supply are the most important driving
factors
 High implementation speed in China
-> possible forerunners
