ABSTRACT
Local area networks are interconnected with different localized systems to take advantage of power generation and storage through the smart grid enabling complete integration of the power system across wide areas. In order for the smart grid to enable the ElectriNet, the following attributes would need to be addressed: The nation's power delivery system is being stressed in new ways for which it was designed. The functionalities described above assume the integration of a communications system throughout much of the power system enhancing connectivity to the ultimate consumers. As a result, there are a variety of architectures, technologies and configurations already proposed or under formation for what can be described as smart grids. To accomplish this objective, it has identified a series of technology challenges intended to: The European Union has initiated a smart grid effort. The electric power system delivery has often been cited as the greatest and most complex machine ever built.
