Abstract
ABSTRACT: The development of smart grids from conventional power distribution systems has been fueled by the growing need for dependable, cost-effective, and sustainable electricity. Using a model system, this study investigates how smart grid technologies can be implemented in distribution systems. Smart grids combine cutting-edge automation, control, and communication technologies to provide dynamic load management, real-time monitoring, and improved fault detection. This work builds a model system that is a standard distribution network enhanced with smart grid features such as distributed energy resources (DERs), automated metering infrastructure (AMI), and demand response (DR) strategies. Reducing energy loss, optimising power flow, and incorporating renewable energy sources are essential components of the implementation.Simulations are run to assess how well the model system performs in different operational scenarios, showing increases in sustainability, dependability, and efficiency.
