Abstract— this paper initiates with a brief discussion on Smart Grid technologies and then moves on to present a brief overview of the current energy scenario of Bangladesh. The paper establishes the idea the possibilities of improving the current energy situation, which includes generation and distribution, through the implementation of smart grid. The paper then goes onto discuss the feasibility of operation of smart grids in terms of deployment, efficiency and cost effectiveness. The paper concludes with the possible effects that the establishment of smart grids would cause.
Keywords— Smart Grid, Generated Distribution, Renewable, Load-Shedding, Peak Demand, Feasibility, Bangladesh, Integration.
I. INTRODUCTION
The utility industry has been utilizing advances in communication and information technology over the years in order to improve efficiency, reliability, security and quality of service. Increasing complexity in managing the bulk power grid, growing concerns for environment, energy sustainability and independence, demand growth and need for better service quality continue to increase the need for an application of such technologies. This leap toward a “smarter” grid is now widely referred to as “smart grid”.
Smart grid (SG) is envisioned to take advantage of all available modern technologies in transforming the current grid to one that functions more intelligently to facilitate: [1]
* Better situational awareness and operator assistance.
* Autonomous control actions to enhance reliability by increasing resiliency against component failures and natural disasters, and by eliminating or minimizing frequency and magnitude of power outages subject to regulatory policies, operating requirements,
