【概要】
The primary role of the existing power grids is to deliver energy to the end users by provide the vital links between the producers of the electric energy and the consumers. These grids have served their purpose with great success for many decades mainly because they were developed to meet the needs of large and predominantly carbon‐based energy producers located remotely from the load centers.

Nowadays, the world is striving at developing lower‐carbon generation technologies as well as higher efficiency devices and systems. This societal demand has led to a rapid change in the generation landscape because of the increasing penetration of renewable energy systems and the emerging of several microgrids. The current and future developments in renewable energy can only succeed if the customers are allowed to interact with the grid by becoming suppliers as well as users of electric energy.

These fundamental changes will require the distribution grid to become more vibrant and interactive which will demand significant changes in the grid design, operation, protection and control. In addition, the grid must become flexible enough to allow new technologies and systems to be installed and operated without significant or expensive regulatory procedures. The key role of the Smart Grids is to achieve these goals.

Beside the usage of more environmentally compatible generations, the Smart Grid will reduce the transmission congestions and blackouts, reduce peak demands, increase system capacity, reduce restoration time, implement self-diagnosis and self-healing techniques, increase security and tolerance to attacks or natural disasters, and increase environmental benefits.

To build a smart grid, several innovations need to be developed or implemented including advanced sensing, communication, routing, protection, and control technologies. These technologies encompass generation, transmission and distribution systems as well as consumer appliances and equipment.
