Nowadays, society needs a growing reliable electricity supply as crucial loads are increasingly connected. The conventional approach is to add more redundant systems, at a considerable environmental impact and capital cost. No action has been needed to maintain supply after a fault other than disconnecting the faulty circuit. The SG paradigm allows for distributed renewable energy generation and intelligent post‐fault reconfiguration and self‐healing for sustained electricity supply at significantly reduced cost [14]. Better utilization of assets can be achieved with SG at fewer redundant circuits, lower cost, and higher efficiency.
