The Future’s Power System: Smart Grid

With the developing technology and the fact that existing electricity systems do not satisfy the nowadays requirements, so many countries have started to make investments for smart grid researches. The goals of the smart grid researches are to integrate renewable energy sources to the power system, decrease carbon emissions, improve transmission part, install advance metering infrastructure, and integrate electric devices and smart buildings in the power system to create smart management system. In parallel to Turkey’s developing technology, growing economy, and 2023 targets, to supply the expanding energy needs, Turkey should also focus on smart grid. Therefore, the definition of the smart grid, parts of the new power system, advantages and disadvantages should be known well. The aim of this work is to present an overview of smart grid with a number of its technologies.
