Cyber Infrastructure for the Smart Electric Grid

＂Electric power systems are going through a major upgrade with the integration of advanced technologies to enable the smarter electric grid (SEG). The SEG will use information and communications technology to have enhanced controllability and will become more interactive.＂--
