Smart Appliances
Overall view of a smart grid to deliver electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology to save energy, reduce cost and increase reliability and transparency. Because of low cost, flexible and redundant architecture and fast response time, cloud computing has the functionality to provide the security, interoperability and performance required for large-scale smart grid applications. Smart-grid-like applications are not easily replicable.
For Demand Response grid automatically response to adjust electricity use depending on price or carbon intensity. One of smart Appliance is a special monitoring circuit that can detect when the grid is under stress from temporary overload and with the application of response it reduce its energy for a short time and allow the grid to recover. In networkable appliances it will have the ability to communicate electronically with energy management systems either wireless or by signals that travel on the power connection and this is called power line carrier communication.
