A Load Management Perspective of the Smart Grid: Simple and Effective Tools to Enhance Reliability

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Reliability Modeling and Analysis of Smart Power Systems

Abstract

This chapter reviews the effects of advanced load management on smart grid reliability. Emerging smart grid and development of advanced technologies such as AMI, smart monitors, smart appliances, and smart controllers, will facilitate the load management activities. This improved load management can be employed for increasing the power system reliability. Also, due to significant changes in load management methods in the future smart grids, it seems that the existing reliability indices should be modified for this new environment. This chapter discusses the changes in reliability indices of distribution systems and proposes some modifications for these indices.
