In this work we will develop and suggest new control strategies for the fully coordinated and
synchronized power generation on a distributed power grid station utilizing different
renewable energy sources. The strategies are based on Digital controller and can easily
be implemented on any digital device such as FPGA, CPLD, and PC. It can be simulated
in software environment like E-TAP and MATLAB. In this project our major focus is
replacing conventional power system into a modern smart grid technology.
Currently we are going to suggest the practical implementation of this
technology in The Islamia University of Bahawalpur but this project can be implemented
in any geographical region all around the world. In this system we are going to explain the
load management and way of most economical smart power generation and consumption
system. We have elaborated the techniques to include the modern communication system and
used the artificial intelligence approach for the betterment of electric power system. Smart
Meters technology is also facilitated due to its vast advantages in electricity saving by
visualizing the two way communication which is available to both customers and the service
providers.
Our suggested model will be providing the service continuity in all conditions. Our
project is based on complete hierarchy of the general power system from generation
to consumption level.

Introduction to Smart Grid and its Major Elements
What are smart grids?
A smart grid is an electricity network that uses digital and other advanced technologies to
monitor and manage the transport of electricity from all generation sources to meet the
varying electricity demands of end-users. Smart grids co-ordinate the needs and capabilities
of all generators, grid operators, end-users and electricity market stakeholders to operate all
parts of the system as efficiently as possible, minimizing costs and environmental impacts
while maximizing system reliability, resilience and stability.
For the purposes of this roadmap, smart grids include electricity networks
(transmission and distribution systems) and interfaces with generation, storage and end-users.1 while many regions have already begun to ―smarten‖ their electricity system, all
regions will require significant additional investment and planning to achieve a smarter grid.
The world‘s electricity systems face a number of challenges, including ageing infrastructure,
continued growth in demand, the integration of increasing numbers of variable renewable
energy sources and electric vehicles, the need to improve the security of supply and the need
to lower carbon emissions. Smart grid technologies offer ways not just to meet these
challenges but also to develop a cleaner energy supply that is more energy efficient, more
affordable and more sustainable. Following Figure demonstrates the evolutionary character of
smart grids.
Characteristics of smart grids:
These challenges must also be addressed with regard to each region‘s unique technical, financial and commercial regulatory environment. Given the highly regulated nature of the electricity system, proponents of smart grids must ensure that they engage with all stakeholders, including equipment
manufacturers, system operators, and consume
