Abstract

Several smart grid pilot projects have been developed in recent year. The rapidly evolving scenario of smart grids with distributed generation and storage means dealing with multi-directional challenges involving higher communication capabilities, faster reporting rates, better security, lower power losses, and so forth [1]. Understanding these challenges and then adequately addressing them are a prerequisite for the complex control and management applications of the smart grid. In this chapter, we describe some of the critical optimization challenges of the smart grid from different perspectives.
