“Making a Green Grid” has become a vision for many countries all over the world. Worldwide utilities will cooperatively invest more than US$378 billion in smart grids construction by 2030. Compared to legacy grid networks, building an intelligent grid involves more stakeholders, such as environmental groups, electricity end-users, power marketers and venture capitalists, which presents major opportunities regarding the development of smart grid. Meanwhile, more than 90 pilot projects have been putting into practice; another 90 are in the planning process. Last year, the investment of Smart Grid reached US$ 7.1 billion in the US. Cumulative European countries’ investment in the smart grid technologies will reach US$80.3 billion during the period from 2010 to 2020.
