“…Furthermore, monitoring systems for smart grids require the status of multiple power system components to account for the faults that occur due to their dynamic interactions and the bidirectional flow of current. Finally, the recent research attempts to describe wireless sensing networks and machine learning-based models for fault classification and fault forecasting in power grids and smart grids [1,2,6,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. However, these studies are more focused on the overall architecture and topology of the wireless sensing networks with various communication protocols and machine learning algorithms for outage management rather than the sensors which are solely responsible for the fault data acquisition.…”

The transmission and distribution systems are essential in facilitating power flow from the source multiple loads over large distances with high magnitudes of voltages and currents. Hence, the monitoring and control of various components of these structures are crucial. Traditionally, this was implemented by sensing only the grid current and grid voltage parameters through coils, clamps, or instrument transformers. However, these have bulky structures that restrict them to the substation and have installation and maintenance issues due to their direct contact with high voltage conductors. Currently, the power grid is undergoing various developments e.g., penetration of renewable energy sources, remote control, and automation, bidirectional power flow, etc. These developments call for compact and energy-efficient sensors to sense multiple grid parameters such as the magnetic field data, temperature, humidity, acoustics, etc., to enable real time, wide area monitoring and the predictive maintenance of the power grid. The goal of this paper is to summarize the advancements in sensing technologies on transmission and distribution systems over a decade and to explain their role in the forthcoming expansion of the power grids. This paper aims to outline the current state-of-affairs of sensor technology as well as to fill research gaps by exploring their limitations.
