There's no question that in order to meet our clean energy goals across the globe, we need a smarter grid. Integrating high percentages of renewable power will require a smarter grid to help manage the challenges presented by the inherent intermittency of wind and solar.
To greatly reduce our oil imports and carbon emissions, we need greener transportation and electric vehicles, which require grid intelligence to ensure increased demand from vehicle re-charging does not cripple our electric infrastructure.

China's investment in smart grid to reach RMB 2 Trillion in 2011-2015
Saturday, October 09, 2010 5:10 AM
BEIJING, Oct. 9, 2010 (Xinhua News Agency) -- China is expected to invest 300 billion yuan in smart grid each year in the following 10 years. On the entering of the overall construction phase in 2011-2015, total investment in smart grid will approximate to 2 trillion yuan, said insider with the State Grid Corp.
At present,China
's smart grid industry exists only on paper. While government authorities are mulling over development plan for smart grid, some local governments have taken the lead in publishing plans for smart grid development.
According to preliminary plan of Chinese government, the development of smart grid will drive the development of a wide range of industry, including new material, electronic and electric device and cell manufacture, new energy power generation, steel manufacture, telecom equipment, smart household appliances, electricvehicle and so on.
Among those, new energy power generation will benefit most from the promotion of smart grid, noted Wang Yeping, deputy chairman of the China Electricity Regulatory Commission.
The Strategic Plan for New Energy Industry to be issued soon will enormously raise the targeted installed capacity of wind power and solar power to 100 million kilowatts and 20 million kilowatts by 2020, respectively.
Another big beneficiary will be electric vehicle. Boosted by smart grid, registered electric vehicle will reach 30 million units in China by 2020, said Zhu Changlin, general manager with Beijing Electric Power Corp.
Xiao Liye, official with China Electric Power Research Institute, believes that the development and construction of smart grid in China will generate 40 trillion yuan of output value in 30 years, and will be a strategic opportunity for China to complete economic restructuring.

SMART Grid Communications Nodes- are the “brains” of the smart grid system
How does it(smart grid) work?
It starts by installing communication nodes alongside our transformers. These
devices may not look high-tech, but they are the “brains” of the smart grid system.
They create a virtual energy network – collecting data from the smart meters and
other digital equipment on the power lines, and sending it over a wireless network
back to Duke Energy and then back to the customer. We will install about 10,000
communication nodes in Ohio in 2010.
