Data-driven next-generation smart grid towards sustainable energy evolution: techniques and technology review

Abstract Meteorological changes urge engineering communities to look for sustainable and clean energy technologies to keep the environment safe by reducing CO 2 emissions. The structure of these technologies relies on the deep integration of advanced data-driven techniques which can ensure efficient energy generation, transmission, and distribution. After conducting thorough research for more than a decade, the concept of the smart grid (SG) has emerged, and its practice around the world paves the ways for efficient use of reliable energy technology. However, many developing features evoke keen interest and their improvements can be regarded as the next-generation smart grid (NGSG). Also, to deal with the non-linearity and uncertainty, the emergence of data-driven NGSG technology can become a great initiative to…
