A Review on SMART GRID Power System Network

Abstract

This paper briefly discusses about the new revolution in grid system i.e; ‘Smart Grid’. The evolution of smart grid development leads to energy autonomy, and sustainable economic growth. This technology will surely fulfil the dreams of Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam i.e; “Energy forever and energy for all”. Smart grid is a ‘system of system’ where it consists of three layers, (a) the power and energy level (b) the communication layer (c) the IT/computer layer. It provides the bidirectional flow of energy as well communication with consumers also. It also known as ‘Auto Healing System’. It brings the better energy utilisation with the great efficiency of grid system. It brings the overall integrity and security in the system with the concept of interconnected power system. It helps to estimate the real time electricity consumption with the help of smart meters, SCADA, intelligent controllers, photovoltaic materials, Nano materials, high current quantum wires etc. Here 9 research papers in the area of Smart Grid are reviewed and the validation table has been compiled.
