Smart distribution electrical grid for India

Abstract

The smart grid is a new technology that adds efficiency to the electrical grid system. The smart distribution grid architecture proposed in this research work solves major problems faced by the Indian electrical grid such as wastage of energy by the careless usage of consumers, poor power theft and line fault detection method, and manual billing system. The intelligent devices that are placed in different parts of the distribution electrical grid together with the intelligent controlling system make the electrical grid smart.
