Abstract

As a result of the old-style electric grid's inability to handle the extensive incorporation of renewable energy resources and distributed renewable energy resources into the electric grid. In the twenty-first century, smart grid technology has entered the picture. Because smart grids operate on two-way communication, communication and information technology are critical to the smart grid's effective operation. The advanced version of the smart grid structure is presented in this article. Furthermore, this article discusses existing and advanced communication and information technology. Finally, the manuscript discusses future research advancements in communication and the most crucial information technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, fog and edge computing, and blockchain in the smart grid. So, the smart grid can manage the massive integration of renewable energy resources while providing customers with efficient, sustainable, and reliable power.
