Abstract: Smart Grid is now the buzzword in the power industry all over the world. It presents our planet with a revolutionary way of power transmission and distribution. It has even paved the way for many advanced forms of data prediction and handling. The existing grid has to be changed so that it can convey security to the grid. While on one hand, it provides, clean energy and planet-saving benefits and on the other hand, it also poses the complications of providing hi-tech elements of the operation. A lot of characteristics have made it conceivable to separate Smart Grid from the existing old grid. Features like Smart metering, Smart sensors, and Smart protection have been discussed in detail for an overall view of this technology. There are numerous difficulties and issues regarding the usage of Smart Grid which is also debated in the paper. The future investment opportunities and the expected growth has also been given an overview.
