Just under 10 years ago, I started hearing people mention the term “Smart Grid.” It mostly revolved around people talking about the installation and adoption of automated metering infrastructure and renewables. Over the years friends and colleagues would ask me, “Why do I keep hearing about the Smart Grid?,” and I would tell them about our increased reliance on electricity and the rolling blackouts in 2003 that caused the power industry to develop new standards and technology to help deliver safe, clean, and reliable electricity.
