Abstract
Smart Power Grids (SPGs), also known as Intelligent Utility Networks (IUNs), represent a new paradigm in electrical power distribution and management. Incorporating advanced two-way communications and distributed computing capabilities, SPGs are emerging power grids that enhance control, efficiency, reliability and safety. In this paper we will first explore driving forces of change in electric power, what is smart grid and why, barriers of smart grid. Next we will consider over view of smart grid, smart grid components, need for distributed generation, smart grid in distribution, smart grid in power sector and benefits of smart grid. Finally, we have a glance on case study about smart house and its components
