Abstract
ABSTRACT The unabated growth in global energy demand since the advent of the 21st-century call for augmented electrical power grids as a network of smart grids. The key components which shore up the grid’s ‘Smartness’ are the distributed intelligent controller modules. Existing electrical networks are limited by a short lifespan, power theft, and prolonged power outages, by the lack of smart sensors and proper communication equipment. Microgrids are a small network of electricity users with localized source of generation and are usually attached to the main grid but can function independently. The microgrid is a limited subset of the grid that may run either connected to or independently from the main grid, whereas the smart grid is a thorough modernization of the whole power grid infrastructure. Both systems aim to increase grid resilience, integrate renewable energy, increase grid efficiency, and support demand response programs. They work together to create an energy system that is more dependable, effective, and sustainable. There are various components which makes the grid smart and intelligent. This paper presents a review of flexible, intelligent instrumentation, and communication network components that capacitate smart grids with self-governing intelligence. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
期刊介绍:
Smart Science (ISSN 2308-0477) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific researches, and reviews and analyses of current research and science policy. We welcome submissions of high quality papers from all fields of science and from any source. Articles of an interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcomed. Smart Science aims to be among the top multidisciplinary journals covering a broad spectrum of smart topics in the fields of materials science, chemistry, physics, engineering, medicine, and biology. Smart Science is currently focusing on the topics of Smart Manufacturing (CPS, IoT and AI) for Industry 4.0, Smart Energy and Smart Chemistry and Materials. Other specific research areas covered by the journal include, but are not limited to: 1. Smart Science in the Future 2.
