Navigating Electromagnetic Compatibility in the Smart Grid Environment

The integration of advanced technologies into modern power systems has revolutionized the way electricity is generated, transmitted, and distributed. One such innovation is the smart grid, a sophisticated network that leverages digital communication and automation to enhance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. However, the implementation of smart grid technologies introduces unique challenges, particularly in terms of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). In this article, we explore the intricacies of EMC within the smart grid environment and strategies to ensure seamless integration and operation. Understanding Electromagnetic Compatibility in the Smart Grid Dynamic Interconnected Systems: The smart grid comprises a complex network of interconnected components, including sensors, meters, communication devices, and power electronics. Ensuring electromagnetic compatibility is essential to prevent interference and maintain the reliability of these systems. Diverse Communication P...

  EMI Electromagnetic Interference (or EMI ) is said to occur when an electronic device does not receive the intended current due to the interruption of unwanted electric currents. Such disruptive currents (also termed as Noise or Electromagnetic Noise) generate from any external source or any components of the device.  Electromagnetic interference can be produced from various sources like AC motors, light dimmers, microprocessors, switch-mode power supplies, etc. It may disrupt the functioning of the device or lead to improper functioning of the device. Based on the level of disruption, EMI impacts the quality of the signal received by the device such as poor mobile networks. The severity of disruption leads to fatal consequences like failure or malfunction of medical equipment. The impact of EMI depends on several factors like interference duration, noise immunity of the device, etc. EMI is mainly of two types namely  Conducted EMI Radiated EMI In conducted EMI, noise ...
