How green is the smart grid?

Description/Abstract

A simulation of the U.S. power system suggests that both conservative and more technologically aggressive implementations of a smart grid would produce a significant reduction in power sector carbon emissions at the national level. A conservative approach could reduce annual CO{sub 2} emissions by 5 percent by 2030, while the more aggressive approach could lead to a reduction of nearly 16 percent by 2030. (author)
