Smart grids is an important component of future energy systems which are featured by distributed, smart generation (solar power, wind power, etc), and their distribution, new systems (electric vehicles), power plants, and such as systems. Performance evaluation of smart grids, correct determination of energy, and communication networks are the points that should be configured correctly for the sustainability, reliability, and measurability of the system.

The basis of smart grids is hardware (meters, energy analyzers, and energy quality recorders, power factor performance, circuit breaker, and transformer status monitoring) and software (big data analysis, cloud systems, and other software).

Smart grids require flexible, cost-effective, and reliable communication networks and wide coverage. Therefore, the use of wireless communication technologies will play an increasingly important role in nowadays and future distribution scenarios.

All this reveals smart grid automation. In this way, users can monitor and manage the electrical energy provided to them.

As Aktif Elektroteknik, we take part in this field with our up-to-date solutions thanks to many hardware (Aktif, Bender, Sanxing, Iskraemeco brands) and ActWin Smart Automatic Meter Reading and Energy Management software.
