Through the vision of IoT the multidisciplinary features of the smart grid are speculated in the above points. The reason to transform the power grid into an intellectual power grid is to ensure the equilibrium between the energy generation and the power consumption (NIST, 2014). In IoT evolution, smart grid infrastructure is the longest
Developing and increasing the capabilities of the smart grid will improve the health and efficiency of the electrical grid. Through the use of smart grid technology and data, utilities are becoming more efficient at supplying electricity and storing it, managing costs and peak demand, integrating large scale renewable and customer-generated
In essence, a smart grid is a modern electric grid infrastructure aiming for optimized generation, distribution, and electricity consumption, thereby enhancing grid reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. and responsiveness to varying load demands and generation capabilities. Power electronic interfaces are:
One of the primary features of smart grids, and doing most to give it its "smart" name, is the enhanced integration of data collection, processing, and sharing at all levels of the energy system. In terms of physical infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT )sensors provide real-time information about electrical plant generation and
Figure 1 - Smart grid - evolutionary character of 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
The aim is to eliminate errors in index reading and billing, frauds that lead to outages for non-payment. The meeting with staff, the annual report of the energy distribution company, the implementation in other countries and the documentations of development strategy in Cameroon, allow us to elaborate a roadmap for smart metering in Cameroon.

1.1 Emerging smart grids. A smart grid represents an improved electrical grid system employing digital communication technology to oversee, assess, manage, and convey information throughout the supply chain from utility providers to consumers in a manner that is more efficient, dependable, and environmentally sustainable [] integrates modern information
As the first step to establish bespoke recommendations for smart grid and smart meter deployment in Central Africa, the Electricity Sector Regulatory Agency of Cameroon (ARSEL), undertook since 2012 in Cameroon a number of activities
The smart grid is often touted for its ability to help utilities better manage electricity demand and supply. But there are other smart grid benefits that are just as valuable, if not more so. Even though a smart grid has many advantages, the following three examples demonstrate exactly how beneficial an upgraded electricity infrastructure can
: The traditional electric grid of the City of Kumba has been experiencing a constant failure which leads inhabitant to experience constant blackout. This constant blackout persists and stays for a long time due to the lack of communication between equipment, consumer and supplier. Whenever there is a fault, the repairing agents walk along the feeder to
From our perspective, this will be a highly disruptive system, requiring digital technologies to generate and analyze the data critical for network operators to plan and operate ever more sophisticated smart grids, and for consumers to capture the benefits of decentralization. In short, a net-zero grid should first become a smart grid.
Smart Grid Definition. Smart grid concept: as per the US Department of Energy, a smart grid refers to "an electrical grid which includes a variety of operation and energy measures including smart meters, smart appliances, renewable energy resources, and energy efficient resources". Smart grid system utilizes two-way communication technology and
