Lecture Notes in Energy, 87, 81-103.2195-1284https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-05125-8_4https://hdl.handle.net/11468/23210Today, the energy transition is also showing its effects on electrical energy systems. Electricity generation from renewable energy sources is increasing rapidly. Advancing technology and developments in electrical power generation have revealed the concept of smart grid. Smart grid applications will play a key role in the change of the current electricity distribution network. The intermittent nature of electrical energy generated from renewable energy sources and structural differences cause some difficulties in power network integration. In this chapter, the structure and development possibilities of smart grids are first introduced. Then, electrical problems that may be encountered after the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid are defined and potential solutions are presented. Finally, information is given regarding smart grid management solutions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBook Chapter87811032-s2.0-8514112480510.1007/978-3-031-05125-8_4Q4
