Voltage Transients: A Hidden Threat in Smart Grid-Microgrid Interconnection

Voltage transients are indeed a critical issue in the integration of smart grids and microgrids. These sudden fluctuations in voltage can compromise the stability and reliability of the power system. To effectively manage this threat, it is essential to implement advanced monitoring systems and real-time communication protocols.  By leveraging smart grid technologies, we can detect and mitigate voltage transients, ensuring a seamless and stable power supply. Additionally, optimizing microgrid control systems and developing standardized interconnection protocols will play a pivotal role in minimizing the impact of voltage transients. This comprehensive approach will pave the way for a resilient and efficient power grid that can accommodate the growing integration of renewable energy sources. Microgrid integration introduces a significant risk: voltage transients. These sudden voltage fluctuations can disrupt grid stability…
