Sažetak
The concept of the Smart Grid originated from the desire to make the grid smarter, safer, and more reliable using advanced sensors, communication technologies and distributed computing. A smart grid will allow integration of new sustainable energy sources, such as wind, solar, off-shore electricity, etc. There are four attributes of the Smart Grid that need to work interactively for this concept to be a reality. These are: Technology, Standards, Public Awareness and a Policy of Incentives. At present there are efforts from vendors to develop technologies which will become building blocks of this grid. At the same time standards are being developed which will make technologies from different vendors interoperable so that many players will be able to participate giving customers a broad choice. But all of these will depend on whether the public will find value in participating in this opportunity. And this will depend on two things – awareness and incentives – which are interrelated. The public must be made aware of the benefits of participating, and at the same time there must be incentives for them. There must be policies and regulations in place that will encourage participation by creating a differential pricing structure for the electricity consumed. At the end smart grid development in Croatia will be presented.
