Enhancing Grid Resilience Through Real-Time Power Line Disturbance Detection and Control in Smart Systems

The traditionally stable and gradually evolving power transmission and distribution sector now stands at the intersection of the energy, telecommunications, and information technology industries. This convergence is compelling the industry to adapt and innovate, paving the way for the development of a modernized utility network through Smart Grids. While Smart Grids have emerged as an essential component for the 21st-century energy landscape, their implementation has also brought forth certain limitations related to power quality disturbances. In this research paper, we have explored the different types of power disturbances that affect smart grids and examine their impact on the overall performance of the grid. To gain insight into the impact of these disturbances, a comprehensive analysis has been conducted using MATLAB-Simulink simulations. Using various analytical methods and simulation tools, this paper aims to evaluate a cascading effect of disturbances on the overall performance of the grid. Our study also provides valuable insights into the consequences of power disturbances in smart grids, such as how these disturbances can cause damage to equipment, loss of power, and other problems also providing crucial information regarding the development of effective mitigation strategies and improving network resilience in the face of these challenges.
