Abstract :
This paper discusses smart grid technologies with new tools and the ability to collect information about aging assets, and new communications technologies that will shape the future of networks by incorporating safer and more resilient asset management (AM). At the same time, the smart grid will place networks under greater stress, with increased variability of flow of energy due to renewable energy sources, new loads such as electric vehicles that will increase peak demand, and so on.
