Abstract
The traditional power grid, with its centralized generation and one-way flow of electricity, faces growing challenges from climate change, rising demand, and aging infrastructure. The emergence of smart grid technologies offers a promising solution, enabling a more efficient, reliable, and resilient energy system. This article explores key smart grid technologies, their impact on energy efficiency and reliability, and the potential benefits they bring to consumers, utilities, and the environment. By understanding these transformative technologies, we can pave the way for a cleaner, more sustainable, and secure energy future.
