Abstract
The monitoring systems of current power grids lack agility due to their centralized model, requiring local data to be collected and aggregated from all power grid components and sent to the center. This chapter proposes a framework that focuses on two features: (a) real-time monitoring systems based on a cyber-physical network that fully utilizes smart technologies and (b) decentralized distributed control functions for a dynamic autonomous self-healing grid. In doing so, the power grid is divided into cells or blocks (i.e., microgrids). Each microgrid should maintain its power demands using its renewable energy resources, local generators, and power storage. This distributed monitoring system will locally solve all load balancing and voltage issues at an intra-microgrid level.
