This study explores the impact of smart grid technologies on the modernization of power grids in response to evolving energy demands and the integration of renewable energy sources in Nigeria.
That''s why it is also consider that smart grid technology can be used to micro-grid level which eventually connect to all other micro-grids to form a large network of Smart Grid. These smart grids have a huge potential and could be a solution of reliability of power transmission and distribution in developing countries which lack infrastructure.
#2 IoT-based electric vehicle (EV) charging. Such IoT-based systems enable smart management of charging stations. These systems can adjust charging rates based on grid capacity and electricity pricing, provide real-time availability updates, and integrate with user apps for enhanced accessibility and usage tracking.
The relatively static, slow-changing power transmission and distribution market is finding itself at the confluence of energy, telecommunications and information technology (IT) markets, driving necessary change and innovation in support of a 21st century intelligent utility network, a "Smart Grid." This paper serves to provide clarification of what the Smart Grid is,
These challenges are driving substantial investment. For example, in the United States, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorized DOE to establish a Smart Grid Investment Grant program, under which 99 major projects with a total budget of $8 billion (of which the US federal share is $3.4 billion) have been awarded (DOE, 2012).
Large number of research papers have been reviewed to included best basic knowledge of Smart Grid fundamentals, technologies, functionalities, characteristics, needs, challenges and future scope. Each components of Smart Grid technologies like smart meters, smart sensors, and its application in Smart Grid has also been explained in detail.
Smart grid technologies can be defined as self-sufficient systems that can find solutions to problems quickly in an available system that reduces the workforce and targets sustainable, reliable, safe and quality electricity to all consumers.
