Power system management is changing as digital technology penetrates. Smart Grid technologies are gradually being introduced. On the one hand, the operating conditions of power grids are changing and in order to avoid energy blackouts, the control system must also change. On the other hand, the transition to the use of alternative energy sources is impossible without the use of Smart Grid. In addition, smart grids allow differentiating energy tariffs. Digitalization will change energy generating facilities, as well as the transmission and distribution system. All this will be associated with the receipt and processing of Big Data.

Difference: Smart Grid technology implies building a single single-level automated control system. Decisions will be made much faster, the participation of professionals will only be needed in the event of anomalies or in the event of a need for in-depth analysis.

Trigger:

• Changed operating conditions for power grids, consumer demands, a course towards greening the industry as a whole.
