A smart measurement network for optimization of electrical grid operation

The electrical grid was historically created to collect large amounts of energy from generating stations and distribute them to a large number of consumers. With the advent of diffused generation, mainly produced from renewable energy sources, this classical view of the electrical grid must be completely revised. A new control system, which integrates electronics and telecommunications, is now required. Therefore, the aim of the paper is the development of a new smart measurement network, which allows the optimization of the management of a Smart Grid with a wide presence of power generation from renewable sources and decentralized storage systems.
