Smart Grid Resource Center
This site serves as a home for information about EPRI’s Smart Grid research, demonstration
projects, and the Smart Grid Use Case Repository.
A Smart Grid is one that incorporates information and communications technology into every aspect of
electricity generation, delivery and consumption in order to:
- Minimize environmental impact
- Enhance markets
- Improve reliability and service
- Reduce costs and improve efficiency
Smart Grid Use Case Repository
The Smart Grid Use Case Repository is a public resource for the electric power industry to house Smart Grid
related use cases as well as provide a forum for the industry to contribute to this effort by
submitting their own use cases.
Smart Grid Demonstration
EPRI is conducting a series of industry demonstration projects to address the key issues facing the
electric power industry over the next decade. Developing technology to address CO2 challenges, for example,
can take a decade or longer and requires large-scale demonstrations to ensure that the technologies are
ready for commercial operation. EPRI’s role is to develop the collaborative environment for technology
development, integration and application prior to commercialization.
