Due to lack of situational awareness, automated analysis, poor visibility, and mechanical switches, today's electric power grid has been aging and ill-suited to the demand for electricity, which has gradually increased, in the twenty-first century. Besides, the global climate change and the greenhouse gas emissions on the Earth caused by the electricity industries, the growing population, one-way communication, equipment failures, energy storage problems, the capacity limitations of electricity

To realize the SG, an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) based on smart meters is the most important key.
