IEEE Vision for Smart Grid Communications: 2030 and Beyond Roadmap

This IEEE Vision for Smart Grid Communications: 2030 and Beyond Roadmap is a high-levelsupplement of the full vision document IEEE Vision for Smart Grid Communications: 2030 andBeyond. Communication is a major enabling technology for the Smart Grid. We believe that the powergrid will tend to utilize advances in communications since the data exchange requirements willscale up for the Smart Grid. Smart Grid communication will help to improve demand forecasting,enable self-healing from power disturbance events, facilitate active participation by consumers indemand-response mechanisms, and provide resilience against physical and cyber attacks. SmartGrid communication will also help to improve quality of power, allow easy integration ofrenewable energy sources into the grid, foster innovation to enable new products, services, andmarkets, assist in optimization of assets, and improve operating efficiency.
