Challenges and Opportunities in Implementing Smart Grid Technologies in Kurdistan: A Comprehensive Review
Journal Title: Journal of Industrial Intelligence - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The increasing demand for electricity, coupled with the limitations of centralised power generation, has necessitated the transition towards smart grid technologies as a critical evolution of traditional power systems. The smart grid represents a significant transformation from the conventional grid, offering a pathway towards modernising energy infrastructure. This review aims to present a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and challenges of smart grid implementation, particularly within the context of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Key benefits such as improved grid intelligence, enhanced reliability, and sustainability were highlighted. However, several challenges were identified, including cybersecurity risks, regulatory complexities, and issues of interoperability, which collectively pose obstacles to widespread adoption. Furthermore, the review examines the current energy network in the Kurdistan region and proposes a framework for integrating smart grid technologies. Strategies for addressing the identified challenges were discussed, emphasising the importance of overcoming these barriers to facilitate the region's transition to a more advanced and efficient energy infrastructure.
