Smart appliances at factories or homes can be switched off at peak hours and on when power is less expensive.

All these new technologies, on both generation and demand sides, have environmental and economical benefits, but also need more complicated electricity network, the bridge in between, to connect and maintain them together. Smart grid is a major solution to modernize current electricity network to facilitate connecting distributed energy resources (DER) and smart appliances with electrical power grid.
