AbstractDue to the integration of renewable energy ressources in the electricity grids, many new challenges have to be coped with. Therefore, new architectures are developed. To validate if a new architecture meets the requirements of transforming electricity grids into Smart Grids, a general evaluation-metric should be used.Not all requirements and their satisfaction can be mapped on monetary values, so a differentiated view on different aspects of an Smart Grid architecture is preferable. To meet this purpose, the idea is to develop separate evaluation-metrics on each layer of the Smart Grid Architecture Model and to build one comprising evaluation scheme for Smart Grid Architectures.

Durch den Übergang in Smart Grids erhalten Stromnetze die notwendige Flexibilität, um auf die steigende Volatilität der Stromversorgung zu reagieren. Das standardisierte Smart-Grid-Architecture-Modell und die Use-Case-Methodik dienen dabei als Rahmen, um Smart Grids zu entwickeln. Ein methodischer Rahmen für den Aufbau von Industrial Smart Grids fehlt derzeit noch, ist aber besonders notwendig, um Energieflexibilitätsmaßnahmen für Industrieanlagen umzusetzen. Der hier vorgestellte methodische Ansatz liefert eine Blaupause für den Aufbau eines Industrial Smart Grid für Energieflexibilität. Mithilfe der Anpassung des Smart-Grid-Architecture-Modells und der Use-Case-Methodik wird ein Industrial-Smart-Grid-Architecture-Modell umgesetzt.   Through their transition into Smart Grids, electrical power grids gain the neccesary flexibiltiy to respond to increasing electrical supply volatility. The standardized Smart Grid Architecture Model and Use Case Methodology serve as framework to develop Smart Grids. Currently, there is still a lack of such a methodical framework for setting up Industrial Smart Energy Grids and it is particularly necessary to implement energy flexibility measures in industrial plants. The methodical approach presented here provides a blueprint for building an Industrial Smart Grid for energy flexibility by adapting the Smart Grid Architecture Model and the use case methodology .

Balanced development of smart grids is becoming an increasingly important issue for the energy sector's successful operation. This article provides a bibliographic review of publications in the study of renewable energy and smart grids' deployment parameters. A sample of works for 2009-2020 from the Scopus® database, which contains bibliographic information about scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, books, and conferences, was selected for analysis. The authors identified three clusters of research areas using VOSviewer (version 1.6.15) in the context of the impact of geospatial parameters on smart grids' development. The first cluster consists of the financial, human, and temporal components of the geospatial factor of smart grid deployment. The authors found the largest number of links in the first cluster in terms of "costs" (a total of 29 links with an average impact of 9). The second cluster coincides with concepts related to geospatial information systems (GIS), digital storage, information systems, and cartographic information use. Research on renewable energy also belongs to the second cluster of publications. And the third cluster highlights all the concepts of smart grids by their technical types and in the context of optimization. The third cluster focuses on the ideas with the strongest link power. The results of the analysis of the Scopus® database allowed to determine the level and dynamics of scientific interest in the geospatial factors of the development of smart grids over the past 10 years. It is established that research in the field of geospatial factors of smart grid development is carried out by different countries, but the most active analysis of the impact of geospatial parameters on the development of smart grids in the following countries: USA, Canada and China. Based on the use of the Scopus® database, the article identified institutions and organizations that fund the study of geospatial factors and smart grids and made a significant contribution to the development of this topic.

Power quality (PQ) assurance is a vital part of electrical distribution networks. There are many advantages and benefits of improving PQ, especially in the modern/smart grid. Smart grid (SG) has a lot of complicated and sensitive electrical components (non-linear loads) in addition to renewable energy systems (wind-solar) that may also be a source of PQ disturbances. PQ problems harm personal life and national production. Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) are among the fastest response flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) installed in smart grids to mitigate power quality disturbances such as voltage fluctuations, sag, swell, and harmonics. In this research, STATCOM and UPQC are designed and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink to overcome PQ-related disruptions in smart grids. Accordingly, the differences between the proposed two solutions are highlighted across this research and renewable energy sources' reliability during faults. Therefore, the reader will be able to choose the appropriate FACTS devices. This study emphasizes the extent of the smart grid need for the FACTS. As per the given results of this study, STATCOM and UPQC have shown exemplary performance in the PQ improvement investigations conducted in the context of smart/modern grids.

The smart grid is transformation method for out-of-date electric allocation system, smart grid is a fresh solution of upcoming infrastructure. It is used to Shield, scrutinize and auto optimize the electric operations from very high voltage network to disseminated structure. The smart grid is a grouping of information and the communication knowledge, transmission and distribution system. The standing traditional grid wasfurther down pressure and challengedvaried issues. There are many modifications between smart and traditional grids such as two way operations instead of one way operations, computational intellect, self-monitoring abilities, cyber protected communication, safe, cost-effective environment. Number of various literatures discussed the positive topographiesof smart grid for power systems. In this paper deliberated about the evaluation about Grid Architecture typicalfinished the Function Layers mapped on Zones and domains.
