Abstract:
In the upcoming years, electricity’s share of entire global energy is forecasted to continue to
increase, and even more intelligent systems are going to be introduced into the electric power
delivery (transmission and distribution) networks. It is expected that the grid will shift from an
electromechanically controlled system to an advanced electronically controlled network known as
Smart Power grid within the next two decades. A vital constraint is how to remodel, retrofit, and
also upgrade the current electromechanically regulated system into a smart self-healing power grid
which is powered by a properly planned market strategy. Ground-breaking advancements in
information technology, material science and engineering guarantee vital progress in the security
and safety, reliability, efficiency, and also cost effectiveness of electric power delivery systems.
Both theoretically and practically, Smart grid is more complex, larger and more effective than its
older counterpart. This thesis addresses the perspective of Smart grid in Bangladesh with the basic
introduction of Smart grid technologies. The key target of this thesis is to provide current condition
of the electrical grid of Bangladesh as well as discussing the possibilities of Smart grid in this
developing country. It is anticipated that this thesis will provide a positive way to address the
challenges of the energy sector of Bangladesh by implementing Smart grid technology.
