AN EFFICIENT SMART GRID ARCHITECTURE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY INTEGRATION AND POWER MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources has introduced new challenges in modern power systems related to stability, reliability, and efficient power management. Smart grid technology provides an effective solution by enabling intelligent monitoring, control, and integration of distributed energy resources. This paper presents an efficient smart grid architecture designed to support large-scale renewable energy integration and optimized power management. The proposed architecture combines advanced sensing, communication, and control mechanisms to enhance grid performance. Renewable sources such as solar and wind are integrated using intelligent energy management strategies. The architecture ensures improved power quality, reduced losses, and enhanced system reliability. Performance evaluation demonstrates effective coordination between generation, distribution, and consumption. The results confirm the suitability of the proposed approach for sustainable and intelligent power systems.
