A Communication Networks based upon Smart Grid,
in conjunction with an appropriate management
methodology, could contribute to options that look into
the provision of additional services to consumers of
electricity. In this respect, the following paper makes
reference to the importance of the consumer as a client
in itself, in regards to electrical supply within the
proposal of a grid. In view of this, it is paramount
to search for the best efficiency and reliability of the
electrical network in general- and proposals already
exist to do so, whether it be at the stage of generation,
transmission or distribution. However, the initial
projects in the majority of cases only concentrate on
the distribution stage, where many types of energy
losses are generated. The initial projects are implemented
as well to reduce the percentage of power cuts,
that is why work has been done on the automation
of substations placing equipment of the latest technology
such as IED’s - Intelligent Electronic Devices
for protective systems; along with the application of
communication protocols which are applied to power
cuts, to enable fast and reliable reconnections of power
supply. The stage that is known as AMI (Advanced
Measurement Infrastructure), where research and different
studies have mostly focused their attention - be

the improvement and provision of additional services
to the final stage - which is the customer
