This systematic review meticulously explores the transformative impact of digital technologies on the grid planning, grid operations, and energy market dynamics of power distribution grids. Utilizing a robust methodological framework, over 54,000 scholarly articles were analyzed to investigate the integration and effects of artificial intelligence, machine learning, optimization, the Internet of Things, and advanced metering infrastructure within these key subsections. The literature was categorized to show how these technologies contribute specifically to grid planning, operation, and market mechanisms. It was found that digitalization significantly enhances grid planning through improved forecasting accuracy and robust infrastructure design. In operations, these technologies enable real-time management and advanced fault detection, thereby enhancing reliability and operational efficiency. Moreover, in the market domain, they support more efficient energy trading and help in achieving regulatory compliance, thus fostering transparent and competitive markets. However, challenges such as data complexity and system integration are identified as critical hurdles that must be overcome to fully harness the potential of smart grid technologies. This review not only highlights the comprehensive benefits but also maps out the interdependencies among the planning, operation, and market strategies, underlining the critical role of digital technologies in advancing sustainable and resilient energy systems.

“…The resolution of the fundamental problems is a need for the restoration of power system. [2][3][4] An effective approach to overcoming the difficulties of situating energy production systems near to the demand is using distributed generators (DGs), especially based-renewable energy sources (RESs). [5][6][7][8] DGs are technologies that are distributed, flexible, and more adaptable and located near to the load.…”

Recent years have seen a marked increase in the world’s energy needs. Numerous studies have been conducted to examine distributed generation (D.G.) utilizing renewable energy sources (R.E.S.s) in order to address this need. The number of environmental problems that are resolved by the usage of traditional power plants is also decreased by these renewable sources. The ideal position and size of the RESs-DG significantly influence the bus voltage profile, power quality, and efficiency of Radial Distribution Systems (RDS) because of power losses. In this study, the use of wind energy systems as a DG source in RDS is investigated. One of the most common RESs used as DG sources, the ideal location and size for wind system, was chosen to demonstrate this enquiry. The goal of this optimization work, which used the Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA), was to increase system efficiency by minimizing power losses and improving the voltage profile and power quality. Three widely used RDS, including the IEEE 31 and 69 bus systems, have been used to evaluate how well the recommended technique has been implemented. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is offered to examine the efficacy of the recommended AOA. The findings show that the used AOA approach can pinpoint the appropriate size and positioning of a wind farm in order to reduce power loss, enhance voltage profile, and outperform other existing tactics with superiority over GA.

“…Market mechanisms allow for optimizing the process of choosing the point of connecting a microgrid to the distribution network while taking into account spatial and power parameters. Spatial modeling enables the detection of useful patterns in the data space that are not obvious to their users, with such patterns used for electricity consumption forecasting linked to specific locations [114]. This allows for the application of local marginal pricing, a mechanism for using market electricity prices to manage power grid infrastructure congestion.…”

The process of building microgrids on top of existing passive distribution networks warrants a multi-criteria analysis. Besides the calculation of the investment outlays needed for the modernization of distribution networks, such an analysis covers an assessment of the technological and economic effects of building microgrids. The resulting effects depend on the topology and configuration of distribution networks, specific microgrid features, the choice of the current type for the entire microgrid or its individual parts, the methods of connecting distributed energy resources (DERs), the availability and maturity of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure, and other factors. Comprehensive input data allow for designing an optimal microgrid configuration, but the main technological and economic effects are determined by the algorithms of operation and the parameter settings of the automatic control system (ACS) and the protection system. The known approaches to designing microgrids focus on addressing basic tasks while minimizing the investment required for their implementation. The above is fully justified when constructing new microgrids, but building microgrids on top of existing distribution networks, given the uniqueness of their topology and configuration, does not allow the use of standardized solutions. The development of approaches to the design of microgrids under such constraints, with minimized investment in the modernization of existing distribution networks, is an urgent task. The use of different types of current for individual microgrid segments determines the choice of the particular ACS and protection system, which depends on the availability of information and communications technology infrastructure. This article contributes a review of approaches to designing AC and AC–DC microgrids so as to maximize their technological and economic effects. We review techniques for analyzing the existing distribution networks aimed at choosing the type of current for the entire microgrid or its individual parts, the optimal points for the connection of microgrids to distribution networks, and the mix and capacity of DERs, with such choices informed by the conditions of the switching devices and information and communications technology infrastructure. This article presents the results of the analysis of approaches to choosing the optimal configuration of microgrids, microgrid ACS, and protection system, with an evaluation of the technological and economic effects subject to the minimization of investment in the modernization of the existing distribution networks.
