unlike traditional power grids, smart grids have the advantage of bidirectional power flow and having distributed generations. distributed generation systems are usually supplied by renewable sources which can cause unpredicted voltage fluctuations as a result of being intermittent. while traditional compensating devices deal with the problem of voltage fluctuation and reduced power quality wit...

Hastening the power industry toward smart operation juxtaposed with the unrivaled restructuring and privatization agendas, some of the ubiquitous smart grid advantages are glanced more and more. Recently, the vehicle to grid (V2G) technology, as one of these beneficial aspects, has found a worldwide attention due to its important advantages. The V2G technology can raise the system operation eff...

A smart grid delivers power around the country and has an intelligent monitoring system, which not only keeps track of all the energy coming in from diverse sources but also can detect where energy is needed through a two-way communication system that collects data about how and when consumers use power. It is safer in many ways, compared with the current onedirectional power supply system that...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently emerged as enabling technology for the smart gird, smart health, smart transportation, and smart environment as well as for smart cities. The major smart grid devices are smart home appliances, distributed renewable energy resources and power substations. The seven domains existing smart grid conceptual model was developed without the IoT concept in min...
