Abstract
The need to modernize the power grid infrastructure, and governments’ commitment for a cleaner environment, is driving the move towards clean renewable sources of energy and many countries are now building power plants using green energy sources such as wind turbines and photovoltaic systems. Whilst these big energy generation stations will certainly help in addressing the environmental and energy dependence aspects, the related power grid management and congestion avoidance issues during peak demand remains a serious challenge that needs to be addressed.
