Abstract

Smart Grid is an innovative perception which refers to the conversion of the conventional electric power grid to a modern grid. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used as a significantly useful tool to solve the power crisis and meet the electricity demand, through a better utility management system. The spotlight of this paper is to analyze the necessity of GIS for establishing Smart Grid in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
