Smart Grid Improvement UsingMicrogrids: Problems and Possibilities

Abstract

Smart grid development has been accelerated by technological advances in the energy sector, calling for interdisciplinary research into power systems and management. Transmission and distribution losses, energy theft, and environmental concerns are all problems in India, the world's third-largest producer and user of electricity. Because of these problems, the energy sector is looking into cutting-edge technology to improve the reliability, longevity, and safety of the grid. The goal of this research is to identify potential factors that might aid in the growth of India's smart grid. Prominent academics, researchers, and industry specialists working in the electricity sector participated in questionnaire surveys, interviews, and workshops to analyze the smart grid's many parts.The underlying infrastructure, including smart grids, is rapidly maturing as smart cities and countries become a reality. The necessity for privacy-preserving multisubset data aggregation is a significant obstacle to implementing a smart grid. Customers may participate in demand-side management and integrate renewable energy sources with the advent of the smart grid. The intermittent and variable nature of renewable energy sources makes their integration into the smart grid challenging.
