There is neither control of the power transmission of the electric power on the recipient side and the supplier side nor only measuring efficiency improvement in the smart grid. The expectation for the eco-society is put in the smart grid, and the role to go to the low carbon society and the eco-society is played. The opinion made for the necessity for making all things called the power generating system, the electric vehicle, the storage battery, and a fuel cell that manages the photovoltaic generation and the wind power generation called all home appliance and new energy including the eco-home appliance to contribute to the CO2 reduction when giving examples a network to exist has been expressed. Because the thing called make to the network is a thing said that IT will be used and exists, the electric power is efficiently expected that an important role is imposed aiming at the low carbon society and the eco-society.
The movement said it spread the smart grid in Europe by the direction where the energy introduction that can be such a reproduction it is expanded seems to be activated. As the target of Europe, the huge project is advanced to cover about 15% of the demand for a European electric power, and the photovoltaic generation is done in north Africa. Moreover, it aims expanding by using various technologies deciding enormous amount of supported thing said 4.5 billion dollars to the smart grid in the United States, and doing rebuilding and the improvement of the power grid. In addition, it aims at making to the smart grid also in South Korea giving priority. Thus, I think that I feel that such a match makes up the eco-society of the smart grid because it is taken in each country.
