【 摘 要 】

This report presents a preliminary scoping assessment conducted to envision the general magnitude of several selected benefits the GridWise™ concept could offer when applied nationally. These benefits accrue in the generation, transmission and distribution components of the power grid as well as in the customer sector. The total potential benefit of implementing these technologies over the next 20 years is conservatively estimated have a present value (PV) of about $75 billion. When estimated on the basis of a less conservative implementation scenario, the PV of these benefits is shown to essentially double.
