Abstract

The evolution of power distribution systems is at the forefront of efforts to meet the challenges of growing energy demand, climate change mitigation, and the integration of renewable energy sources. This review article explores recent innovations and trends in power distribution, focusing on technologies and strategies that are reshaping the electricity grid. From the implementation of smart grids and the proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs) to advancements in energy storage and grid resilience, this review provides an overview of key developments and their implications. Additionally, the electrification of transportation, digitalization, and data analytics are discussed as transformative elements in modernizing power distribution infrastructure. Understanding these emerging technologies and addressing associated challenges is crucial for building efficient, resilient, and sustainable power distribution systems capable of meeting future energy needs.
