The Future of Adaptive Grids using the Kalman Filter, for Data Smoothing and Data Prediction

Abstract

The modern power grid is facing unprecedented challenges, due to a rapid integration of renewable energy sources. Renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, are inherently variable and unpredictable, introducing fluctuations in power generation that can destabilize the grid. Additionally, the increasing interconnectedness of power grids across regions and countries further complicates grid management. To address these challenges and ensure the continued reliable operation of the power grid, adaptive control techniques, and real-time monitoring systems are emerging as indispensable tools. Adaptive control systems can dynamically adjust generation and load to maintain grid stability and resilience while optimizing power flow and efficiency. Real-time monitoring systems provide valuable data for these control algorithms to operate effectively, enabling the grid to adapt to changing conditions and minimize disruptions. This paper provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities presented by the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid. It discusses the role of adaptive control and real-time monitoring in addressing these challenges and ensuring the reliable operation of the power grid. Additionally, the paper explores emerging technologies, that aim to enhance the capabilities of adaptive control systems and further optimize grid operations.
