Abstract:
The rapid growth of global energy demand has necessitated the development of smart grid technologies to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of energy distribution networks. Smart grids integrate advanced communication, control, and data analytics systems to optimize energy flow, reduce losses, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources. This study examines recent advancements in smart grid technology, emphasizing their role in sustainable energy distribution. Key focus areas include distributed generation, real-time monitoring, and demand-side management strategies. The paper highlights technological innovations, challenges, and future prospects for achieving a resilient and eco-friendly energy infrastructure.
