The idea of microgrid, smart grid, and virtual power plant (VPP) is being developed to resolve the challenges of climate change in the 21st century, to ensure the use of renewable energy in the electrical grid. For the increasing demand for electricity, raising public consciousness about reducing carbon emission, the microgrid is established which is transformed into a virtual power plant (VPP) or a smart grid with the blessing of modern communication systems, intelligence technology, and smart devices. So, to keep these systems up-to-date and to ensure security, it is important to know the details about the uses and benefits of these systems in the developed world and also to improve control methods and automation, it is important to achieve the present essence of such systems. This paper is focused to contribute to this flourishing area of energy sustainability covering microgrid, smart grid, and virtual power plant by compiling and recapping their recent advancements, technical requirements, control problems, and solutions. The paper is mainly intended to address the role of control strategies applied to the microgrid, smart grid, and virtual power plant towards future energy generation, distribution, management, and security.

Smart grid has strong potential to advance and encourage renewable energy deployment, but given the multiple motivations for smart grid, renewables are not always central in smart grid policy discussions. The term “smart grid” represents a set of technologies, including advanced meters, sensors and energy storage that are crucial for the integration of more renewable and low carbon electricity into the electric power grid. However, developing and building a smart grid is jurisdictionally complex, path dependent and context specific; states and regions are approaching grid modernization in different ways. This paper reports on a comparative analysis of smart grid development in seven U.S. states. We use state-level policy documents to learn what motivates smart grid development and how smart grid is framed in relation to renewable energy. In some states, renewable technologies are presented as an integral part of the smart grid policy discussion, while in others they are largely absent.

The development of electricity networks depends mainly on new technologies. Smart Grid – an intelligent, multi-grid is a tool for the future efficient use of increasingly expensive energy resources. In general, the implementation of intelligent networks will benefit individual customers, the national economy and the environment. Europe is now seeking to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Smart Grid is a challenge which seeks to achieve this ambitious goal. The article presents the ideas of intelligent networks that will help energy companies to increase the reliability of energy supply and operational efficiency, expanding the scope of measurement and control of power systems and management of new technologies, even in the farthest points of the grid.

The smart grid recently has been a vital research field among the global researchers and academia due to its significant transformation of the traditional, original and aging power grid networks. This paper reviews the state of the potentials of a smart distribution grid and highlights relevant areas of research problems that are related to the optimal sizing, unit commitment, and economic dispatch. The effect that this model will have in the power system operation targets and objectives as well as the effect that it might bring to the various types of consumers are x-rayed. The proposed system is expected to be a new electricity paradigm that aims to achieve sustainable, efficient, reliable and resilient type of electricity delivery system. The concept is expected to make significant advances towards the process of achieving the smart grid objectives and benefits as well. Finally, the paper proposes a study of an innovative model of smart grid network whereby many microgrids are integrated among each other to form an autonomous integrated microgrid (AIMG)

Advances in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and information communication technology (ICT) have facilitated the development of integrated electrical power systems for the future. A recent major issue is the need for a healthy and sustainable power transmission and distribution system that is smart, reliable and climate-friendly. Therefore, at the start of the 21st Century, Government, utilities and research communities are working jointly to develop an intelligent grid system, which is now known as a smart grid. Smart grid will provide highly consistent and reliable services, efficient energy management practices, smart metering integration, automation and precision decision support systems and self healing facilities. Smart grid will also bring benefits of seamless integration of renewable energy sources to the power networks. This paper focuses on the benefits and probable deployment issues of smart grid technology for a sustainable future both nationally and internationally. This paper also investigates the ongoing major research programs in Europe, America and Australia for smart grid and the associated enabling technologies. Finally, this study explores the prospects and characteristics of renewable energy sources with possible deployment integration issues to develop a clean energy smart grid technology for an intelligent power system.
