Utility companies across the world are focusing on adopting and integrating smart grid technologies as the conventional grid system is struggling to keep pace with the varying power demands. Recent advancements in the internet of things and other cutting-edge technologies have made it easier to turn ordinary electrical power networks into smart grids.
