Abstract: The Smart regarded as the next generation power grid, uses two-way flows of electricity and information to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery network. Creation of a Smart Grid provides utilities and their customers a significant improvement in power reliability and services. This paper presents a review on Smart grid technologies. One can see the characteristics, benefits, and challenges in the field of Smart grid. This paper gives brief discussion about the smart infrastructure system. Two-way flows of electricity and information lay the infrastructure foundation for the smart grid. This paper explains works on smart infrastructure system and outline of research directions and challenges.

Abstract: An edge is sharp change in intensity of an image. Now, since the overall goal is to locate edges in the real world via an image, the term edge detection is commonly used. If the edges in an image are identified accurately, all the objects are located and their basic properties such as area, perimeter and shape can be measured. Therefore edges are used for boundary estimation and segmentation in the scene. Uncertainty of image processing is handeled within the frame work of fuzzy logic. In this paper a novel method based on fuzzy logic reasoning strategy is proposed for edge detection in digital images without determining the threshold value. The proposed approach begins by segmenting the images into regions using floating 2x2 mask. The edge pixels are mapped to a range of values distinct from each other.
