Die Umgestaltung der Stromnetze im Zuge der Energiewende erfordert den Ausbau lokaler und regionaler Netze sowie die Digitalisierung von Prozessen, basierend auf Daten, um erneuerbare Energien zu integrieren und den Anschluss von Verbrauchern wie Elektrofahrzeugen und Wärmepumpen zu...

This document provides an overview of the latest technological and market trends on the topic of Smart Grids in the European Union. Given the broad scope of the topic and the comprehensive approach followed in the last year report, the analysis has focused instead on two specific enabling...

A smart grid is the superposition of one physical electricity network on an information system. "Digitalization" (the growing application of information and communication technologies across the economy) enables electricity to break away from exclusive and centralized generation, opening it up...

The smart grid (SG) research has continued unabated; however, some challenges, such as stability and security, cause us to focus on sustainable SG, which benefits society. Sustainable SG is complicated and covers many topics that should be summarized systematically. This paper uses CiteSpace to...

The fourth industrial revolution introduced the concept of Industry 4.0, which refers to the digitalization of the modern world and the inclusion of digital industry in major industrial sectors. Within this context, we investigated how Industry 4.0 technologies could transform conventional...

The state of the Ghana Power System reflects a story of progress, challenges, and future potential. Ghana has experienced significant milestones and achievements in its power system, including the development of major infrastructure projects such as the Akosombo Dam and initiatives to expand...

The heterogeneous and decentralized nature of renewable energy sources is too much to handle for traditional and centralized IT grid infrastructure. Blockchain technology can address many of the associated challenges. This paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art technology layers of...

A smart grid is an electrical grid which includes a variety of operation and energy measures including smart meters, smart appliances, renewable energy resources, and energy efficient resources. Electronic power conditioning and control of the production and distribution of electricity are...

The power sector of Pakistan is facing many issues such as departmental mismanagement, huge dependence on imported fossil fuels, the greater cost of power generation, lower production of energy along with old monitoring and controlling mechanism equipped with outdated devices. These all issues...
