New Age Model of Smart Grid Transformation and Opportunity for Energy Challenges in South Africa

Abstract

Today's Smart Grids are an engineering marvel. The commitment of a sustainable economy to economic development and employment formation is moreover encouraging and South Africa is planning to assume a major role in sustainable power source organization with Smart Grid Initiative. In this paper, we are proposing the efficient smart grid architecture and sg components to overcome the losses, save energy and save consumer money in South Africa. In this remaining paper, we will prepare the smart grid architecture, smart grid key components, Key features of Smart Grid, Applications of Smart Grid and future scope of works in South Africa. Smart grid technologies and distributed generation could gainfully improve the quality and reliability of a distribution feeder in South Africa.
