In decentralized system, whole system is divided into different - 2 areas. And each area has its own virtual control center or local control center. Decentralized system divide the task of monitoring and controlling of power system into subtask. Division of whole power system is best option in fault occur. Because it don't need to shut down the whole system only that system is shut down which is faulty. So economically it is cheap because faulty part is needs to be change not whole system. Figure: decentralized system 3.3.1.3. difference between centralized and decentralized system It is not about the generation gap that it is modern age or early age.

population (approx 127 crores and counting) 2. exceptional increase usage of electricity from last decade. 3. increase amount of electricity generation (up to 53 GW) 4. globalization that's mean lots of industries. Load of electricity usage is increasing. So load on generation and transmission lines are also increasing. So these few issues telling about the why we need smart grid. Figure: information and communication technology infrastructure for electric power system Smart grid is a concept that a grid who has advanced functionality like advance security, self healing process, able to self decision. SCADA system's network are well constructed and follow the strict infrastructure and for bulk power network it uses the IP based technologies. This SCADA network architecture consists data models, application layer and middleware and transport function for transmission. The middleware operates to ensure performance. Number of home consumers and industrial consumers are increasing day by day. So in that case cost of transmission lines are increasing means economical loss for any state. So smart grid provide functionality where in less cost it will supply electricity to the home consumers and industrial consumers through single transmission that's means economical growth for any
