Traditional power system was divided in to three segments as Generation, Transmission and Distribution, now a day’s new generation resources(Distributed Generation, DG) are increasing such as Photovoltaic systems, Wind energy systems, Ocean energy, Direct energy conversion systems etc., by which traditional boundaries between Generation, Transmission and Distribution are disappearing, Distribution can supply local loads and reduce the dependence conventional generation by which carbon foot print was reduced. Traditionally power flow was monitored in one way from generation to consumer which is limited to transmission system only, there is a need to monitor power flow at end consumer also to satisfy customer by supplying quality power round the clock. The generation department has no visibility of distribution generation, in order to manage a grid with distributed generation resources connected at all low voltages in the grid, utilities need a new organizational structures, new skills and operating rules. The smart grid is the electric grid with advanced automation, control, IT and IoT systems that enables real time monitoring, control of power flows from sources of generation to sources of consumption. Smart grid provide consumer with real time information on their energy usage, support pricing that reflects changes in supply and demand, enable smart appliances and devices to help consumer exercise choices in term of usage of energy. In smart grid technology who owns small distributed generation becomes prosumer (producer + consumer)

Distribution generation, Smart grid, carbon foot print, prosumer
