The smart grid requires proper methods for balancing the power supply and demand. Equally, it requires an appropriate way to simultaneously address contrasting demands from both the power utility and the customer. Direct load control a contract between the utility and the customer is one possible solution.

IEEE Smart Grid presents a Special Issue on the Customer Domain which features, "Designing a Demand Response Program One Step at a Time", "Unbundled Smart Meter Design Solutions and Lessons Learned", "State-of-the-Art Power Electronics Solutions for Autonomous Electric Transportation Systems", and "Current Status of the Development and Future of Electric Vehicles".

IEEE Smart Grid presents a Special Issue on IEEE Smart Grid Standards which features "The IEEE Standards that Pave the Way for the Smart Grid","Smart Connected Buildings - Cybersecurity Maturity Model (SCB-CMM): Proliferate Cybersecurity Maturity Level in Smart Connected Buildings To Facilitate Secure Integration with Smart-Grids and Micro-Grids", "Standardizing DC Microgrids for Rural and Remote Electricity Access Applications - An Urgent Challenge and A Multi-Level Technological and Applicatio

Advanced metering with two-way communications has the potential to make meters a core element of an integrated system to better manage utility services. But what kind of communications are appropriate? Smart meter traffic is characterized by small session duration, limited mobility and large number of devices, and as such is not handled efficiently by existing wireless broadband access networks run the usual way.

In this interview, Peter Cappers answers questions regarding his IEEE Smart Grid webinar entitled, Impacts of SGIG Consumer Behavior Studies of Time Based Rates on Customer Acceptance, Retention and Response.

The power grid has not had a transforming step change that is recognized by customers in 100 years. Some new capabilities and technologies have been added along the way, but at the end of the day the consumers get the same service they have been accustomed to and their parents before them. So what can we do to generate the kind of buzz around the smart grid that has accompanied quantum leaps in technology and functionality in other industries?

The entire world is facing the requirement of managing the energy consumption in order to ensure that the energy demand and supply are balanced accordingly to suffice the future requirements. Countries are adapting transformative methods from conventional energy sources to renewable energy sources, and the number of prosumers is increasing than the number of consumers.

High Speed chargers for electric vehicles are growing in public locations. They are the fastest growing segment of chargers. With the release of more than 20 new EV's at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2017, the demand for public charging is going to grow. EVs finally cover most of the vehicle segments from motorcycles to semi-trucks. In many cases a single high speed charger can exceed the installed electric service in a small parking garage or highway rest area.

In this webinar, IEEE Smart Grid Expert, Steve Collier will discuss why and how the production and utilization of electric energy will ever more rapidly become inseparable and even indistinguishable from the Internet of Things.
