Abstract
The smart grid represents a significant transformation of the electric industry, and promises high-valued products and services. However, it is a new paradigm and brings forth significant challenges with new technologies, systems, and processes. This paper presents an overview of Toronto Hydro's approach to smart grid, describing strategic roadmapping, integrated planning and operations, and a four-layer framework for integrated design and implementation. It further discusses Toronto's Smart Community demonstration, as well as strategic considerations to deliver this new and innovative system.
