Power System Challenges and Issues

Operation of power networks requires examining all aspects of the concepts. In recent years, due to the expansion of the power grid and the development of new technologies, some new challenges have appeared, which required study and respect. With the development of technology and a comprehensive change of power systems, problem solutions also changed and led to challenges. These challenges can be explored in two ways. First, it is necessary to examine the new topology created in the configuration and network components. Second, find the interaction between components and problems due to the structural complexity. In future networks, intelligent structures will be activated, and all activities will be performed by these intelligent systems. Even energy exchange contracts will be changed, and smart contracts will be applicable. Also, the volume of data exchanges increase that results in a huge change in communication structures. Big data and neural networks, including machine learning, will be widely used, and control and monitoring systems need to be accurate online and in real time. Therefore, it is necessary to properly examine the new challenges of power networks and analyze the issues accordingly.
