Smart Grid is a major transformation of the existing electrical infrastructure. As electric utilities across North America, Europe, and the rest of the world implement Smart Grid, cost effective monitoring tools will be required to optimize circuit and feeder loads.Initial Smart Grid efforts have primarily been focused on system nodes related to the management of power generation and storage elements. However, with the shift from distant to localized renewable power generation and the need for the Grid to accept power injections from many types of energy resources, the reliability, efficiency, and usable capacity of the power cables between the nodes must also be properly managed.
