Abstract
The current energy crisis has fueled research in renewable energy. It is well known that renewable sources of energy would help in alleviating our dependence on perishable energy sources. A transmission and distribution network that could efficiently deliver the power generated from renewable energy to the load would further liberalize the world from fossil fuels. Full potential of renewable energy sources can be exploited by a smart grid, leading to a completely sustainable electricity supply system. The main objective of this paper is to emphasize the importance of smart gird and micro grid model for power systems connected with renewable energy resources.
