Evolution from Power Grid to Smart Grid: Design challenges

Smart Grid is the future of electricity based on information and telecommunication technology. This article presents the characteristics of the new technological developments in this field, some of the standards included in it, along with several implementation strategies. The validity of the novel proposed approach was demonstrated by simulation with a dedicated module which allows checking how each part of the architecture responds to various case studies. Taking into account the novelty of the subject, this paper brings new opportunities to explore and develop this subject.
