Review on optimization techniques used for smart grid

Abstract

Smart grids provide many benefits to the technological era, although they need to be optimized. The smart grid uses many optimizing methods to save energy, reduce costs, and address security issues in the generation, transmission, and distribution of energy in each domain area. The smart grid can be optimized by controlling cost minimization, distribution side, energy management, protection systems, and so on. This paper studies the optimization techniques used in the smart grid demand sector (Heuristics and Meta heuristics). The demand side management of the grid operations are clearly explained with its protection systems and control techniques. Among all the control methodologies and analysis smart meter-based systems are delivers high output rather than others.
