    DNOs need to take the step from Smart Grid vision and make it a reality for the future

    DNOs need to take the step from Smart Grid vision and make it a reality for the future.  Operators must be ready to update networks, look at redesigning the grid and be ready for integrating more renewable energy into the existing structure to achieve the Smart Grid vision.  New technology and solutions must be adopted to transform the grid into a more efficient and sustainable network that will meet regulatory targets and lower carbon emissions.

    The development of Smart Grids will see the increase of smart meters, which will mean an increasing amount of data available.  The two worlds of ICT and meter infrastructure need to be merged to work towards achieving the Smart Grid concept.  As regulatory frameworks dictate lower carbon emissions, DNOs must be ready to update the grid, sustain reliability and work towards building more intelligent networks. 

    This marcus evans forum will give you the chance to discuss and benchmark best practice techniques to learn how to implement a successful smart grid on a large scale.  Generation must meet demand at all times and so operators must be ready to employ new technology, meet regulatory demand and realise the Smart Grid vision.
