“…Crystalline silicon PV has a higher overall efficiency around 15-20% and can achieve maximum of 30% in rare conditions, but it incurs into higher costs than thinfilm PV [8]. However, some challenges arise as is in the case where solar resources are placed far away from the loads, making the transmission of energy recur into additional costs [5].…”

“…The challenges of integrating renewable energy such as power generated from wind turbines, solar cells, and other renewable sources are handling the variability of these sources due to their intermittent and various nature [5,29]. Solar cells produce energy when they have direct sunlight, wind turbines generate power when there is wind.…”

We overview different alternative energy resources and comment on their benefits and challenges. We highlight some features of alternative and sustainable energy resources and discuss some challenges for their integration into the power grid. In view of global trend toward blending alternatives and conventional energy resources in electrical power grids, a more robust energy distribution approach is necessary. Here, we present an alternative to the power grid with great potential for integrating alternative energy sources and defining microgrids-the Controlled-Delivery Grid (CDG). We comment how this new digital approach enhances the distribution of energy may help to resolve those challenges. We also examine the role of energy storage elements (batteries, super-capacitors), and sustainable energy resources in this new approach to the power grid. We provide some numerical analysis on the performance of energy distribution of the CDG and some experimental results that highlight some of its features.

Abstract. The unprecedented rise of population with increasing energy consumption has necessitated the stabilization of dwindling energy resources to secure the provision of energy. Electricity production and distribution through smart grids is a key component in delivering reliable, efficient, and low-carbon energy for a sustainable development of the society, and to meet the growing demands of electricity. Smart electricity grid is a complex system of systems that requires sophisticated collaboration tools and intelligent techniques with active participation from all its connected users. A dynamic role and a proactive participation of consumers and societies with the integration of distributed energy resources are highly anticipated for the long-term sustenance of these grids. This paper discusses and identifies key determinants of the demand side sustainable collaboration in a smart way (resulting as what we address as smart energy demand) through the involvement of pro-active consumers.

“…However, to ensure safety and reliability, protection and schemes for various configurations at various DG penetration levels must be considered and analysed. This includes load forecasting and control to utilise storage equipment in addition to DG, which randomly fluctuates based on conditions, for optimal power flow through the distribution network (Hajimiragha et al, 2010;Moslehi and Kumar, 2010;Parvania and Fotuhi-Firuzabad, 2010;Sauter and Lobashov, 2011;Vandoorn et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2010;Steimer, 2010;Spagnuolo et al, 2010;Suntio et al, 2010;Brunton et al, 2010;Bayoumi, 20015a, 2015bBayoumi, 20015a, , 2015bShen et al, 2009;Bragard et al, 2010;Sterner, 2010;Sannino, 2009;Hamed et al, 2015).…”

Distributed generation (DG) in smart grid (SG) is being employed as a means of achieving increased reliability for electrical power systems as regarded by consumers. As the most of DG technologies utilise renewable sources, the power electronic interface plays a vital role to match the characteristics of a DG unit with the grid requirements. This paper presents the power electronics capabilities required for DG systems in SG to convert the generated power into useful power that can be directly interconnected with the utility grid and/or that can be used for consumer applications. Because of the enhancement and the different power ranges of power electronics devices, the development of advanced power electronic interface that is scalable to meet different power requirements, with modular design, lower cost, and improved reliability, will improve the overall performance and durability of smart grid distributed power systems.
