Towards a Sustainable Future: The Use of Electrical Energy in Smart Cities

An intelligent city is a center that effectively manages its resources to ensure a high standard of living for its residents while maintaining ecological awareness. The effective management of energy poses a significant problem in major urban areas, mostly attributable to the intricate nature and criticality of energy networks. Intelligent energy management in residential structures is crucial to smart city efficiency. Energy management involves demand management, peak load reduction, and carbon dioxide emission reduction. Risk management, efficiency, and sustainable development are integral elements of every energy management strategy in smart cities. Risk elimination, effectiveness, and environmentally friendly growth are fundamental components that form an essential part of energy management strategies in smart cities. They are an indispensable condition for the transformation from the traditional model based on conventional sources to a more sustainable system using renewable energy. The article is a literature review presenting the role of smart grids in creating smart cities.
