5. Definitions from the Smart Grid Dictionary
Smart Grid: Bi-directional electric grids and communication networks
that improve the reliability, security, and efficiency of the electric
system for small- to large-scale generation, transmission, distribution,
storage, and consumption. It includes software and hardware
applications for dynamic, integrated, and interoperable optimization of
electric system operations, maintenance, and planning; distributed
energy resources interconnection and integration; and feedback and
controls at the consumer level.
Microgrid: A small power system that integrates self-contained
generation, distribution, sensors, energy storage, and energy
management software with a seamless and synchronized connection to
a utility power system, and can operate independently as an island from
that system. Generation includes renewable energy sources and the
ability to sell back excess capacity to a utility.

6. Definitions from the Smart Grid Dictionary
Reliability: In the context of the bulk power system, NERC
(North American Electric Reliability Corporation) defines
reliability as the ability to meet the electricity needs of end-use
customers, even when unexpected equipment failures or other
factors reduce the amount of available electricity. It is measured
by the frequency, duration, and magnitude of events like
outages on customers. The two main characteristics of
reliability are adequacy and security.
Resiliency: The fast recovery of an acceptable level of
electricity services on a continuing basis despite disruptions to
normal operations.

7. Definitions from the Smart Grid Dictionary
Prosumer: A term coined by Alvin Toffler to describe a
producing consumer. From a Smart Grid perspective, it would
apply to distributed energy resource situations in which the
owner of electricity production or storage assets may also have
a consumer relationship with a utility, aggregator, or other
energy services provider.
Negawatt: Watts of energy saved through a reduction in
energy use or increase in energy efficiency. It is the greenest
form of energy.

"The current growth rates of mobile data traffic resemble those of the fixed network from 1997 through 2001, when the average yearly growth was 150 percent. In the case of the fixed network, the growth rate remained in the range of 150 percent for 5 years." http://www.fierceenergy.com/story/internet-things-chinese-national-initiative/2012-02-27China's machine-to-machine (M2M) is expected to grow from $642 million in 2011 to $2.76 billion in 2016, with smart meters and smart grid a significant portion of the market, according to ABI Research. And M2M has a solid place in China's national economic strategy. "China's latest economic five-year-plan has placed the ‘Internet of Things' as a key, strategic national industry initiative for the country," said Jake Saunders, ABI's Vice President of Forecasting. "Carriers have made significant progress through 2011 in terms of developing technologies, unified platforms, applications, and strategic cooperation." Likewise, strong growth, particularly in smart grid and automotive telematics programs, helped to drive overall cellular M2M connections and revenue. As mobile network operators have become increasingly central to the M2M value chain, MVNOs and other types of M2M connectivity services providers have had to become more innovative in their technology offerings and competitive strategies. ABI Research expects cumulative cellular M2M connections to rise to 364.5 million globally by 2016. The M2M market has become a fully mainstream segment of the cellular industry. By the end of 2011, most major mobile operators in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region had established M2M business units to focus their efforts in this fast growing market. The market for cumulative cellular M2M connections will rise from about 110 million connections in 2011 to approximately 365 million connections by 2016. This represents a compounded annual growth rate of roughly 27% by 2016 and translates to about $35 billion in connectivity services revenue. The two largest cellular M2M market segments over the forecast period, by revenue, will be automotive telematics and smart energy. Automotive telematics, including factory-installed systems such as GM’s OnStar service, aftermarket services such as usage-based insurance, and fleet management systems, will together represent more than $15.5 billion in 2016. Meanwhile, smart energy, specifically cellular connectivity to smart meters and data concentrators, will represent more than $7.5 billion in 2016. “As mobile operators further develop their M2M service offerings, software platforms and M2M application developer support will feature as increasingly larger components of the operators’ services,” says Sam Lucero, practice director, M2M connectivity. “For example, AT&T announced on January 9, 2012 that it would be reselling Axeda’s M2M application platform in a US carrier exclusive deal. This platform will enable AT&T customers to more easily develop and deploy complex M2M applications.”
