Challenges for the energy transition towards renewable energies future are identified in both the smart grid and smart meter perspectives. It is shown that energy providers and consumers in smart grids coordinate with each other through various applications, which are supported by multiple control and optimization technologies.
The commonly accepted definition of a smart grid is an intelligent electrical network that integrates information, two-way cyber-secure communication technologies and computational intelligence throughout the energy system from power generation to consumption endpoints .
In particular, the communication architecture and standards for smart grids and the analysis of smart meter data have been highlighted as the key elements to build up future energy systems [19, 20, 21, 22]. Applications based on smart meter data have been developed to satisfy different stakeholder interests .
In , a bi-level model of the energy storage system (ESS) planning for renewable energy consumption by considering the boundarization of power flow constraint is presented.
The development of the smart grid brings about high penetration of DG units, which are distributed throughout the power systems, particularly at the distribution domain. The control of such units requires a large number of controllers, which challenges the current scheme of power system regulation.
In such a complicated environment, the concept of a ‘smart grid’ has been established to improve resilience and reliability of the modern renewable-based power grid by augmenting communication and control facilities to the system .
