A smart grid is an electricity network enhanced with digital technology to enable advanced monitoring, automation, control, and management of energy transmission, distribution, power generation, and network supply. This technology facilitates the evolution from traditional energy distribution to an intelligent electricity grid, allowing two-way communication between utility providers and their customers. Smart grid systems employ digital communication technologies, information systems, and automation to monitor energy flow and adjust to changes in energy demand and supply. By integrating smart metering systems, it enables real-time monitoring of power consumption, offering both consumers and suppliers real-time data on energy use. Consequently, the smart grid enhances system efficiency and reduces operational costs.
