A Survey of Sensing Methodologies in Smart Grids

The operation of smart power grids is supported by interconnected sensors and devices that provide real-time monitoring. Smart grids provide more secure and dependable electricity than traditional grids because of constant monitoring. This paper reviews the technology used in smart grids, specifically sensors and communication technologies. It also talks about the challenges that smart grids face, such as providing power to the network's sensors, islanding, cyber-security, and issues that occur when using distributed generators. Current solutions for sensing changes and communication of sensed data in smart grid networks are also discussed.
