The power system will become the backbone of the energy system of tomorrow, featuring completely new electricity-generation sources and new types of electricity consumption - a power system characterised by flexible generation and a high level of renewables.

It will be a power system with a strong power grid capable of transporting large amounts of renewables around in an interconnected, international market to the places where the power is consumed and where the energy has the greatest value.

A power system featuring demand response, for example in the form of electric boilers, electric vehicles and heat pumps, so that wind energy can be used when it is available in ample volumes.

Everything is controlled by supercomputers ensuring that all parts of the system act coherently and intelligently. This is the intelligent power system - this is Smart Grid.

Energinet.dk and the Danish Energy Association have teamed up to prepare the report 'Smart Grid in Denmark'.
