13.1 Introduction

Traditional and aging power grids are not able to successfully deal with the present increasing demands for the delivery of high-quality power in a secure, safe, reliable, and affordable manner. Growing energy demands, depletion of primary energy resources and increased utilization of renewable energy sources, sustainability, secure supply, and competitive energy prices are major driving forces for the conventional electric power grid evolution [1]. The recent technology development has influenced the traditional power grid, at both the transmission levels and distribution levels, making it smarter than ever before and capable of overcoming the existing challenges. This results in the appearance of the energy network integrated with the information and communication technologies (ICTs), known as Smart Grid (SG), that revolutionize generation, delivery, and use of electricity [2, 3].

The conventional electrical power grid is established on the communication infrastructure that transmits data gathered from a variety of sensing devices to a central control place for its processing and storage. This refers to the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The main drawback of existing SCADA systems is the lack of real-time control for the ...
