Abstract

The current electrical system is in the transition to a new technological model called the Smart Grid,
and the speed of this process will be so much faster if better adjusted to the available technical and
financial resources are the transition systems implemented. In this article, we present a method for
convergence of the traditional power distribution grid to the smart grid paradigm from the retrofitting of
the legacy circuits that compose this grid. Our results indicate that the application of such a method,
given through a distributed system platform with integrated technological resources added on overlaid
to the legacy infrastructure, converts these passive grids into intelligent circuits capable of supporting
the implementation of a broad scope of functionalities smart grid.
