“…The power sector of India is transforming at fast pace. In the last five years, power generation of over 120 GW capacity is added while there is a major contribution of thermal power observed at 73.3 GW [54,55]. India's overall coal production increased from 662.5 million tons in fiscal year 2017 to 817 million tons [29].…”

In the South Asian countries, including Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan, the current energy scenario is considered non-sustainable due to diverse issues such as economic, environmental, geopolitical, technological options for energy exploitation, and negligible volume of regional energy trade. Though, within the region, India is leading a phase of energy transition and economic transformation through renewable energy development. The countries need to exhibit well in the development of their renewable sources following the rapid pace of renewable energies worldwide. This paper offers an overview of the energy scenario, growth of renewable energies, evolution, and approach for energy policy by highlighting key challenges and barriers for the ecological energy mix of the countries. Importantly, the paper assesses the current energy mix in South Asia, highlighting the anomaly of its fossil fuel-based future outlook, its ambitions to move towards less environmental pollution, and sustainable energy mix through a strategic tool SWOT analysis; strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). In particular, this study examines the government policies to expand the implementation of renewable sources with an insight into the existing regulatory structure of the energy sector. The presented research findings suggest that to achieve the ambitious target to reduce emission discharge by up to 30% by the year 2030 under Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), the Governments of the three countries must take preemptive measures. It includes the stage-wise reduction of subsidies on fossil fuels, market integration within the region, and swift realization of the existing initiatives through strong political will, good governance, adoption of the latest technologies, and a pragmatic action plan, and energy cooperation across the region.

“…Nowadays, there is a wide consensus all over the world about integrating renewable energy sources (RES), such as wind and solar power, into distribution network to solve environmental problems and energy crisis [1]. A large number of policies and innovative technologies have been adopted by many countries to support the integration of RES [2]- [4]. This is expected to gradually reduce the heavy dependence on fossil fuels and increase the share of RES in the power supply.…”

To settle the large-scale integration of wind power, it is necessary to enhance the wind power hosting capacity of distribution network. To this end, this paper proposes a stochastic mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model to enhance the hosting capacity of distribution network with active network management (ANM) strategies. The considered ANM strategies include power factor control, reactive power compensation and network reconfiguration. The coordination of these strategies enables the distribution network to accommodate more wind power without violating its constraints. The proposed model relaxes the original nonlinear power flow equations into linear format, so that a near optimal solution can be obtained with moderate computational burden. The wind power and load demand are inherently variable due to the influence of various factors. Moreover, the output powers of multiple wind turbines (WTs) located at adjacent sites of a wind farm are spatially correlated. To represent the uncertain loads, the roulette wheel mechanism is used to generate the load samples. In addition, a combined method of inverse transformation and Nataf transformation is established to deal with the uncertain and correlated wind power. Then, scenario combination and reduction are conducted to generate representative scenarios. Finally, the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method are verified via numerical tests on the modified IEEE 33bus test system.

Smart grid (SG), an evolving concept in the modern power infrastructure, enables the two-way flow of electricity and data between the peers within the electricity system networks (ESN) and its clusters. The self-healing capabilities of SG allow the peers to become active partakers in ESN. In general, the SG is intended to replace the fossil fuel-rich conventional grid with the distributed energy resources (DER) and pools numerous existing and emerging know-hows like information and digital communications technologies together to manage countless operations. With this, the SG will able to “detect, react, and pro-act” to changes in usage and address multiple issues, thereby ensuring timely grid operations. However, the “detect, react, and pro-act” features in DER-based SG can only be accomplished at the fullest level with the use of technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and the Blockchain (BC). The techniques associated with AI include fuzzy logic, knowledge-based systems, and neural networks. They have brought advances in controlling DER-based SG. The IoT and BC have also enabled various services like data sensing, data storage, secured, transparent, and traceable digital transactions among ESN peers and its clusters. These promising technologies have gone through fast technological evolution in the past decade, and their applications have increased rapidly in ESN. Hence, this study discusses the SG and applications of AI, IoT, and BC. First, a comprehensive survey of the DER, power electronics components and their control, electric vehicles (EVs) as load components, and communication and cybersecurity issues are carried out. Second, the role played by AI-based analytics, IoT components along with energy internet architecture, and the BC assistance in improving SG services are thoroughly discussed. This study revealed that AI, IoT, and BC provide automated services to peers by monitoring real-time information about the ESN, thereby enhancing reliability, availability, resilience, stability, security, and sustainability.
