Introduction

In the recent years, the concept of smart grid is taking shape with broader objectives to improve reliability, efficiency, power quality and safety of power delivery and its usage. It has become necessary to identify issues and problems associated with realization of modern power systems. The present trend towards deregulation in power sector is forcing electric utilities to improve their efficiency and reduce cost whereas customers are becoming more sensitive to reliability and power quality. Moreover, the competitive business environment is also forcing utilities to maximize the utilization of available resources which may lead to stressed operating conditions. These stressed operating conditions, if not taken care of, may lead to increased system losses, poor voltage profiles, overloading of lines and terminal equipments, poor power factor,voltage instability and harmonic distortion.Modern power systems are characterised by extensive system interconnections, distributed generation and increasing dependence on control for optimum utilization of existing resources. The increasing demand for electric power coupled with resources and environmental constraints pose several challenges to power system planner. The main challenges may be power system stability and security enhancement, Tieline power frequency control also called Automatic Generation Control (AGC), low frequency oscillations, energy control centre with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for centralized computer monitoring and control of generation, transmission and distribution, Automation at distribution side, deregulation and scheduling to increase competition and lowering consumer prices. The restructuring and deregulation of electric utilities, together with recent progress in technology, introduces unprecedented challenges and opportunities for power system researchers and engineers.

Objective
