The challenges we have in this country is that the electric power system network is ageing, likewise the workforce. There is need to rehabilitate almost all our distribution system and some of the tranmission network before delving into automation. Once this is done, making the grid smart won't be difficult because some of the technology is available but what is lacking now is standardisation of the communication protocols that would be involved especially in a deregulated market.

This sounds easy but then it has been a while since these problems have been on ground. I hope we get to see a smart grid in our lifetime. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
