The independent power systems - Microgrids are the most important solution to overcome the power blackout due to overloading of main electrical grid. As a localized power grid, microgrid has its own generation sources, and definable load systems.It also works with renewable energy sources for power generation which tends to the usage of storage resources according to the requirement. Microgrid can operate in line with the traditional grid as well it can be disconnected from the grid to operate autonomously. It tends to provide reliable, quality and efficient energy supply to customers. Apart from the major issues like power flow control, power quality, and stability still the implementation of microgrids pose some technical challenges at the protection level of microgrid. This study mainly focuses on the protection issues faced by microgrid and some possible remedies to overcome the technical challenges at the microgrid protection phase.

The Smart Meter is an asset to the utilities that realises the revenue flow from the consumers to the power utilities and it is the revenue box for the utilities. The smart meter has two-way communication, which connects the consumer to utility. Smart meters are extremely critical components in the power network. Accuracy and reliable performance of smart meters and communication system between the smart meter and control centre are of vital importance. Also, high accuracy measurement is required in Smart Meter for accurate correct billing and to gain confidence of the customers. Testing of Smart Meters is a required activity to ascertain the quality and performance of the smart meters as per the relevant Standards. This article presents the test qualification requirements for Smart Meters...
