Abstract
Modern power systems are facing several challenges related to the transition from a traditional, fossil fuel-based, and vertically integrated architecture to a smart, sustainable, renewable generation-based, and deregulated system. Smart grid is the key concept that allows this transition and enables a series of innovative applications thanks to the integration of information and communication technologies into power systems. Smart grids involve two-way electric and information flows across generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization systems, to improve their efficiency, sustainability, reliability, and resilience compared to traditional grids. The attribute “smart” reflects the layer of intelligence added to the power system that is able to sense power system’s conditions, interact with producers and users, and react to any unexpected conditions. Figure 1 describes the main differences between traditional and smart grids [1–3]. The concept of a smart grid was developed in order to reach a set of goals:
