The development and implementation of smart grids involve developing new improvements in existing energy technologies, introducing information systems to manage the grid, monitoring controlling consumption, closely related alternative decarbonization economy. Scientific research differs significantly terms topics because they aim solve problems each these areas. Thus, this aims present a biblio...

To foster innovation, address energy independence, react to global warming, and increase emergency resiliency, governments around the world are promoting efforts to modernize electricity networks by instigating smart grid, e-energy and e-mobility initiatives [5, 6, 3, 4]. A smart grid refers to efforts that enhance and extend today’s electric power grids with information processing technology t...

Smart energy has evolved over the years to include multiple domains integrated across technology themes, such as electricity, smart grid, and logistics, linked through communication processed in cloud a holistic way deliver on global challenges. Advances sensing, communication, computation technologies have been made that enable better system implementations. In systems, sensing spanned with ne...

As the power generation paradigm is going green by involvement of renewable energy sources, the energy management process also has to evolve towards new more powerful, intelligent control methods. The inter-connection of a large number of renewable energy sources to the grid, along with their obvious advantages, makes the grid highly distributed. This may cause problems of efficient control, st...

Smart Grids require a robust communication network to handle huge amount of data involving different smart devices. Wireless applications become the core of advance meter communication systems. The current advances within this area infer that this type of systems will fulfill the Smart Grid requirements for applications such as Advance Metering Infrastructure, Distribution automation or Demand ...

This article argues that smart grid technologies enable policy‐makers and communities to successfully manage enduring energy policy concerns. It defines what ‘smart’ energy technologies, grids and policies mean, and then evaluates how the smart grid can enable policy‐makers to respond to an emerging energy ‘trilemma’. Drawing on case studies from the United States, the article suggests that the...

Detecting faults in electrical power grids is of paramount importance, either from the electricity operator and consumer viewpoints. Modern electric power grids (smart grids) are equipped with smart sensors that allow to gather real-time information regarding the physical condition of the elements forming the whole infrastructure (e.g., cables and related insulation, voltages and currents, brea...

Upcoming challenges for LV grids include a high penetration of distributed energy resources and electric vehicles. The project “DG DemoNet – Smart LV Grid” aims to enable an efficient and cost effective use of existing grid infrastructures based on a three-step concept: intelligent planning, on-line monitoring and active LV grid management. Communication-based systems for automatic control conc...
