An overview of Technologies for the Smart Grid

Mohd Atif Pervez Khan, Rachit Srivastava

Abstract


There is broad unanimity regarding the need to enhance the smart grid (SG). To deliver a reliable electricity supply, the SG combines electrical grids and communication infrastructures to create an intelligent electricity network. Numerous cutting-edge communication technologies with the potential to considerably raise the general effectiveness of power grids have been identified for SG applications. The challenges and uses of communication technology in Singapore are covered in this study. Three specific challenges, namely standards interoperability, cognitive access to unlicensed radio spectrum, and cyber security, are present in the adoption of SG communication systems. The idea of a “smart grid” has just come into existence as a solution to the problems with the current electricity grid. The phrase “smart grid” describes a contemporary electric power grid infrastructure that uses high-power converters, automated control, contemporary communications infrastructure, sensing, and metering technologies, as well as contemporary energy management strategies based on the optimization of demand, energy and network availability, among other things, to increase efficiency and reliability.
