Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive review of advanced control and communication technologies of smart grid (SG). Various func-tions/features of SG include real-time pricing, voltage/VAr control, frequency control, power quality, demand response management, distri-bution system restoration, and reconfiguration, distributed generation dispatch and storage. There is a strong requirement to control these functions, as well as to communicate within themselves. Suppose, if two-way communication is not possible then it cannot be considered as a function of SG. When trying to track or monitor a function, one must be able to control, command, and communicate with it. In order to control observation ability and measure of some type of numerical quantity that is obtained from a real time measuring device being moni-tored is necessary. Some of these measurable quantities are: overvoltage limits, security measures and contingency analysis. This paper addresses various challenges of control and communication techniques of SG.

Summary
Renewable power generation is an important part of conventional as well as smart grid (SG), and it is getting more attention every day as it is economical option, pollution free and available in infinite amount. The SG is the generation electrical grid, which will enable the smart integration of conventional, renewable and distributed power generation, energy storage, transmission and distribution, and demand-side management. Load control or load adjustments made by the utility via two way communication of the SG must be non-disruptive in the sense that consumers are unaware of the control actions In achieving this feature of the SG, a need arises for an appropriate control and communication in the grid that could provide an important grid reliability enhancement, and enhancing the fundamental understanding of stability characteristics of power system.
