Technologies, communication and energy in Argentina: Smart Grid in the province of Santa Fe

In the 21st century, the energy area is permeated by technical changes and by the multiplication of several sources of energy that complicate the sector involving a large number of different actors. The Smart Grids (SG), which associate energy flows and digital technologies, are important in local and international programs. To develop an SG need changes in estructure and also needs a socio-technical change that modified the habits and social dynamics of the users. We studied The "Project of Smart Grids with Renewable Energies" of Armstrong, province of Santa Fe, Argentina, from the analysis of primary and secondary sources. This paper defines the SG as well as to explore the main regulations launched in Argentina to deep in the particular case of the province of Santa Fe and the town of Armstrong.
