Abstract: The convergence of cutting-edge technologies, including Power Electronics Interfaces, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Cloud Computing, Block chain, and the Internet of Things (IoT), has heralded a new era of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity, fundamentally transforming the landscape of modern power systems. These technological advancements are driving the evolution of power systems toward greater automation, reliability, resilience, and sustainability, all while aligning with the imperatives of green and clean energy. The Smart Grid emerges as an electro-information ecosystem, seamlessly integrating two-way, cyber-secure communication technologies and computational intelligence across all facets of the power system, including generation, transmission, substations, distribution, and consumption. This paradigm shift aims to achieve an energy system that is clean, secure, safe, reliable, resilient, efficient, and sustainable. This paper presents a comprehensive literature survey on the key technologies enabling the Smart Grid. It delineates two critical components: The Smart Infrastructure System and the Smart Management System. Furthermore, the paper outlines prospective future guidelines for the development and implementation of these systems, offering valuable insights for advancing the next generation of intelligent power systems.
