Developed countries are implementing large-scale smart grid technologies and many developing countries are also in the process of adopting various smart grid components into their power systems.
The working paper presents an overview of technical and functional details on smart grids to provide a framework for increased integration of the technology in ADB’s Energy Sector operations. The paper proposes support in development of smart grid road maps, smart grid codes, policies and regulatory frameworks, capacity building, and implementation of smart grid projects in a phased manner.
