A smart grid is an electrical grid which includes a variety of operational and energy measures including smart meters, smart appliances, renewable energy resources, and energy efficient resources. Electronic power conditioning and control of the production and distribution of electricity are important aspects of the smart grid.
The smart grid will create a power network that is more reliable, flexible, secure and efficient. One of the challenges of renewable power generation like wind and solar power is that it can be interrupted, and this variability affects the stability of the power produced. FACTS devices address network capacity and stability as more renewable energy is brought online.
