  The Adoption of Smart Grids Initiatives is Encouraged by the Growing Need for Clean Energy

  
  

To fulfill the objectives of the smart grid project, future electrical networks must be adaptable, accessible, dependable, and financially feasible. Research on alternative microgrid topologies or designs is focusing more on controlling equipment failure as a result of growing attempts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Growing environmental concerns and the use of renewable energy are also opening up lucrative industry opportunities. With this, the use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) including solar, wind, and other micro-sources is growing. adoption of the hybrid microgrid network is anticipated to be driven by the rising need for combined or hybrid integrated grid networks. Most installations combine CHP systems with other technologies like solar PV and energy storage. CH is most frequently utilized to provide thermal energy and baseload electricity for continuous microgrids.
