The basic objective of one day VAP on AICTE is to impact the knowledge of a smart grid .It is a version of the future power grid that employs advanced equipment and services together with intelligent monitoring, control, communication, and smart protection. Interconnected information and communication is essential for new smart grid technology. ICT, as used here, refers to the communications networks that connect all parts of the grid including operations, service providers, customers, distribution, and transmission by facilitating communications between machines, between humans, and between humans and machines. ICT applications can include “sensors for remote measuring, chips and controllers for monitoring, smart meters… grid management systems… load analysis and automated dispatch software… demand response software that allows automated load maintenance, The potential offered by smart grids and new fast controllable power systems equipment needs to be exploited by development of valuable applications for power system operation. Moreover, first experiences with selected dedicated applications call for the design of an integrated wide area monitoring, protection and control (WAMPAC) system.. Advanced software and hardware systems are also necessary to provide consumers with information needed to control and balance the power demand. IEDs are required in smart grid systems to provide advanced digital relaying for protection, fault records, and measurements of any other events occurring in the power grid. In addition, PMUs are needed to increase security and efficiency of protection levels of the smart grid system, besides wide area monitoring, protection, and control (WAMPC) using SCADA.
