While approaching towards the end of this year, I have been reading quite a few articles on SmartGrids.  Some of them mention naming Smart Grid as "Smart" as one of the top ten blunders in 2011 while many of them mentions Smart Grids as one of the top technologies in the future.  However both of them are different.    Better visibility and control over the energy consumption is the requirement of both residents (energy consumers) as well as the utility companies (energy producers).   In order to make this much more energy efficient and greener 2012, SmartGrid is one attempt of many.  I would say this is still a kid and yet much work is to be done to make it SMART.   Take a look at a paper published around this here: http://www.slideshare.net/NaziaG/smart-home-energy-management   Comments on this are most welcome!
