Abstract

In order to improve grid efficiency, dependability, and sustainability, smart grid technology is being developed and implemented at the vanguard of updating the world's electrical infrastructure. In addition to looking at the potential implications of smart grid technology, this case study analyzes the technical and financial difficulties encountered during the implementation of a smart grid. Technical issues with energy management and system stability arise when intermittent renewable energy sources are integrated into the smart grid. To make smooth transmission, sophisticated algorithms and grid management strategies are needed. Maintaining data security and privacy is crucial since smart grids mostly depend on digital technology and data exchange. It is a constant worry to defend the grid from hackers and illegal access. The installation of sensors, smart meters, and communication equipment might come with a significant initial cost when implementing a smart grid. One of the main economic challenges is financing these developments while maintaining reasonable power bills. It may be difficult to strike a balance between the interests of technology suppliers, customers, and utilities. Real-time monitoring and control are made possible by smart grids, which improve energy distribution and minimize energy waste. In addition to lowering greenhouse gas emissions, this improves overall energy efficiency. Smart grids can enable EV charging infrastructure as electric vehicle (EV) use increases, providing potential for grid optimization and new income streams for utilities. Reliability could be increased and downtime is decreased in a smart grid when defects can be promptly identified and isolated. The implementation of a smart grid is not without its technical and financial difficulties, but the future seems bright. Overcoming these obstacles may result in an electrical grid that is more sustainable, robust, and profitable for customers as well as utilities. Stakeholder cooperation, flexible regulations, and continuous technical development are needed to address these problems. By providing practical applications and real-world insights into the implementation of a smart grid, the case study acts as a link between theoretical concepts. Stakeholders obtain a comprehensive comprehension of the intricacies involved by analyzing technical and economic obstacles. To maximize the potential of smart grid technology, this knowledge is essential for fine-tuning strategies and creating focused solutions.

Abstract

The worldwide quest for sustainable energy solutions has led to a thorough investigation of the integration of renewable energy sources based on micro and smart grids into national electricity systems. This case study focuses on Bangladesh's particular situation, as a nation attempting to find workable solutions to its energy problems. The study explores how cutting-edge smart grid technology and decentralized energy systems, such as microgrids, can be integrated to improve the country's energy environment. The report commences by evaluating the current condition of Bangladesh's national grid, outlining the obstacles that still need to be overcome, and stressing the importance of having a variety of reliable energy sources. After that, the emphasis switches to microgrids, where their potential to support energy autonomy, harvest renewable energy locally, and lessen load on the centralized grid is examined.  A thorough analysis of the technical, financial, and legal factors is carried out, considering how well micro and smart grid technologies work with the country's grid infrastructure. A case study that highlights a particular implementation in a chosen area of Bangladesh provides useful information. To assess the effectiveness and difficulties of the integration process, key metrics such the penetration of renewable energy, grid stability, and economic viability are described. In addition to providing resilience against power outages, increasing energy efficiency, and promoting a sustainable energy ecosystem, the results highlight the potential advantages of a synergistic strategy in which micro and smart networks supplement the national grid. Regulatory framework, technology standardization, and community participation challenges are all noted, and these call for the implementation of policy interventions and strategic planning. This case study provides insightful information about how Bangladesh's national system integrates renewable energy sources based on micro and smart grids. In the context of a developing nation's energy transition, it advocates for a comprehensive approach that considers technological breakthroughs, economic viability, and regulatory frameworks to unlock the full potential of decentralized and smart grid solutions.

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have drawn a lot of interest from a variety of industries, such as industrial automation, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. Typically, these networks are made up of sensor nodes that run on batteries and depend on energy-efficient operation to extend their lifetime. Renewable and sustainable energies are suitable for wireless sensor networks. Energy harvesting from dispersed renewable sources, such as solar, wind, biomass, and vibration, has emerged as a possible approach to alleviate the limits associated with limited battery life. The state-of-the-art methods and difficulties associated with energy harvesting in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) from a variety of distributed renewable sources, such as solar, wind, vibration, and temperature gradients, are thoroughly reviewed in this study. The paper discusses the many techniques for extracting and converting energy from these sources, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of each.  This paper explores several energy harvesting techniques and challenges. The study also discusses the difficulties in integrating energy harvesting, including adaptive power management, energy forecast, intermittent energy supply, and integration issues. The assessment also highlights research gaps and potential future initiatives in the field of energy harvesting from renewable sources. Researchers, technologists, and policymakers working in the fields of renewable energy and wireless sensor networks would find this thorough assessment to be quite insightful. It illuminates how energy harvesting technologies may improve sensor network autonomy and sustainability, leading to breakthroughs in environmental monitoring and other vital applications. The development of sustainable, independent, and effective sensing systems is greatly aided by the investigation of methods and obstacles in energy harvesting for wireless sensor networks. In addition to addressing current issues, this research opens doors for innovation, fostering a more sustainable approach to data collection and monitoring, and having a positive effect on a number of industries.
