EG II JR 1

Equipment is able to sense and automatically react to situations without the need for human interaction

Operator can operate equipment when needed from remote locations via any means of communication necessary. SCADA

Micro grids can form when larger portions of circuits begin is landing.

Power generated from more renewable resources such as wind, solar, and hydro-electric

Is a philosophy that allows the real time conditions surrounding conductors to be monitored.

Current technologies that help combine electrical supply & communications in a manner equipment operates in unison

Increase operation only during the peak loading times of the day, if needed.

Designed to allow much more current to flow at higher temperatures than the same sized conductor of all alum. or ACSR

Cascading is most likely to occur during the time of day when demand is at its peak.

Resistant to unauthorized operation including cyber attack

Parabolic solar panels melt salt to form thermal energy storage that is normally combined with solar thermal generations

A portion of the electrical system that can operate independently from the main grid. Also know as micro grids

Refers to everything from power quality to streamlining operational processes and procedures

Uses automation to sense disturbances on the system, & automatically trigger key operations to keep power on

Check the phase angle on voltage & current waves as often as 30x per second

This refers to the time of day when demand for electricity is at its highest, typically late afternoon & early evening

Is a shield wire installed at the tops of structures. Offers lighting protection, contains fiber optic cable

Incorporation of the concepts, philosophies, & technologies that enable the internet, into the electrical grid.

Methods of reducing consumption of electricity by customers, especially during times of peak loading

Equipment that uses information to make quick decisions & make appropriate functions to maintain safe & reliable power

An outage causing more outages because interconnected circuits are not able to support added load from original outage.

The strain on the grid during peak loading & the effects of cascading power failures best explain why we need what?

Bi-directional energy flow means power can flow through the circuits/equipment from either direction.

Strong enough to handle disturbances with our experiencing cascading
