==Challenges==
It is evident from the above trends that innovative and transformative changes are not about one specific technology or energy source, but rather require long-term, system oriented goals.
<br/>
The smart grid is a 3-piece structure that combines power, communication and information technologies for a more efficient, reliable and manageable power infrastructure [3]; it is a complex system made up of interrelated systems.
<br />
As the power system is upgraded with more flexibility, integrated communications, and advanced controls, it will enable large-scale integration and interoperability of a greater diversity of technologies and end-use applications. [3] This will generate data in vast quantities. To manage, store, and effectively use this data, the power system, communications, and information technologies should be coordinated using a system of systems approach; that is, achieve interoperable communications across smart grid technologies.
