    Understanding How Smart Grid Market is Predictable to Increase by Massoud Amin

    Massoud Amin says smart grids are power transmission infrastructures furnished with information technology to broadcast energy more competently in a better way and permits distributors and providers access to data on how energy is taken. Smart grids will comprise digital meters that can spot electronic outages and challenging areas within the grid. This will enable electricity companies to offer maintenance to components that require it to avoid hazards. A smart grid according to Professor Massoud Amin allows faster response times when it comes to troubleshooting defective electrical setups.

    Professor Massoud Amin Explains on How Smart Grid Market is Expected to Rise

    Dr. Amin was with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in Palo Alto, Calif. where he served as Lead, Mathematical & Information Sciences, and as Area Manager of Infrastructure Security, Grid Operations/Planning, and Energy Markets. After 9/11, he directed all security-related R&D for U.S. utilities. He has led research, development, and deployment of smart grids, and the enhancement of critical infrastructures’ security during this period. In addition, Professor Massoud Amin pioneered R&D in smart grids in 1998, and led the development of 24 technologies that transferred to industry. He is considered the father of the smart grid (tli.umn.edu/tli-blog/inspiration-behind-smart-grid-series-defining-moments). Massoud Amin received several awards including six EPRI Performance Recognition Awards for leadership in three areas, the 2002 President’s Award for the Infrastructure Security Initiative, and twice received the Chauncey Award, the Institute’s highest honor.

    Professor Massoud Amin - Seeking Energy Solutions With A Smarter Power Grid

    Smart grid, a secure, integrated, reconfigurable, electronically controlled system used to deliver electric power that operates in parallel with a traditional power grid. Although many of its components had been developed, and some implemented, during the early 21st century, as of 2016 no smart grid was yet fully complete. This article therefore describes the possibilities and promise of the smart grid as conceptualized at that time.
