Integrating IoT and AI For Predictive Maintenance in Smart Power Grid

Energy systems around the world are currently experiencing several crucial emerging issues such as inadequate energy distribution, deteriorating infrastructure, and increased emissions of carbon. Standard utility systems which are incapable of flexibility in their power distribution as required by increasingly dynamic energy consumption patterns have led

Difference between Traditional Power Grid and Smart Grid

The smart grid is a modern form of the traditional power grid which provides more secure and dependable electrical service. It is, in fact, a two-way communication between the utility and the electricity consumer. The smart grid is capable to monitor activities of the grid-connected system, consumer preferences of using electricity, and provides real-time information of all the events.

Centre for Smart Power and Energy Research | Deakin

As the grid needs to become smarter to handle new forms of generation and prosumers (consumers who also produce energy), integrating renewable energy sources to the power grid – in the form of microgrids – and developing new energy management systems are essential.CSPER conducts research in three main areas: future power grid, renewable
