This paper focuses on how to maximize the already present but often overlooked smart grid capabilities of the delivery and distribution network known as the grid. The devices that make the grid smart supply measurement, control, and communication, which also facilitate advances and applica-tions of smart in-home devices on the periphery of the grid. The case studies briefly describe three in-service smart grid projects that are using specialized power system awareness devices in distribution applications.
