摘要
The concept of Smart Grid have in recent times being introduced around the world to make the grid smarter and more intelligent. Modernization of the grid will help with the integration of renewable energy resources, improve supply of reliable power, promote energy efficiency etc. The current status of the grid in Ghana is being studied. The potential, opportunities and challenges of Smart Grid deployment in Ghana are analyzed. The paper reviews Smart Grid technologies, the state of Ghana with regards to Smart grids, the opportunities and benefits. Furthermore, the paper discusses challenges and recommendations to address these challenges.
