Towards The Development Of A Smart Energy Grid

Current electricity transmission and distribution networks can classified as conventional electricity networks because they have not been able to provide excellent services and present real-time data. This network has not been able to provide reliability, safety and efficiency in supplying electrical energy even not yet have the flexibility to be integrated with the generation of renewable energy or micro-grid. In this paper, a comprehensive review has been conducted to map the literature studies to a coherent taxonomy of Smart Energy grid. The fundamentals of smart grid presented in this paper can benefit readers who wish to embark in smart energy grid research and applications development.
