ABSTRACT: The agenda of this paper is to discuss about the
significance and a detailed feasibility study of practical implementation of
Smart Grid in Bangladesh.
Smart grid refers to an electric power system that enhances grid reliability
and efficiency by automatically responding to system disturbances. Power crisis
is a major problem for a developing country like Bangladesh. Efficient transmission
and distribution of electricity with essential energy resources is a
fundamental requirement to provide citizens and economies. The paper analyzes
the characteristics of Smart Grid and a comparative analysis with conventional
grid system. It also discusses about the efficient transmission and
distribution process which will integrate power system with renewable energy
and information system.
