Electrical engineering: Smart Grids
Operating smart grids aims to improve energy efficiency and integrate renewable energy sources. Smart grid components They consist of an integrated set of components: Smart electrical energy meters:
Despite extensive study on renewable energy, no specific definition of smart grid has been established. The Electric Power Research Institute defines smart grid as the addition of a unified communications and control system to existing power distribution infrastructure in order to give correct information .
A smart grid is required for improved energy control, the integration of renewable energy sources, and the response to surges in energy demand . Renewable energy sources (RES) are more sustainable, reliable, and cost effective than non-renewable energy sources (NRES).
The transformative promise of smart grids for the energy sector does not come without high costs, cybersecurity risks, regulatory constraints, and new technical complexities. All these requires coordinated action by policymakers, utilities, technology providers, and consumers.
As technology advance, smart grid energy storage systems and technology became more polished. Plug-in hybrid electric cars (PHEVs), battery energy storage systems (BESS), energy storage systems (ESSs), and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are among them. This technology replaced traditional hydrocarbon-powered electric vehicle transportation.
