The current technology revolution is leading to unwitnessed shifts in the economy, society, business, and individuals. A great effort is being made worldwide toward clean energy in order to protect the environment and improve operational efficiencies and customer services for better grid availability and reliability. The transfer of the traditional grid to a SG requires modifications and upgrades at various levels of the electric grid [61]. Nowadays, information and communication technologies are being developed very quickly and can significantly support the SG vision. This transformation is pushed by several factors, which include electrification, decentralization, and digitalization as shown in Figure 1.18. Those drivers work in harmony to assist in enabling, scaling up, and reinforcing advancements in SGs. Decentralization enables active elements of the system but requires a high level of coordination. Digitalization supports electrification and decentralization by having better management, which includes automatic control, consumption real‐time optimization, and interaction with customers.
