Introduction
The development of smart grid technologies has revolutionized the way electricity is generated, distributed, and consumed. With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources and the growing complexity of the grid, the need for advanced restoration strategies in case of disruptions has become more pressing. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing the resilience and efficiency of smart grids by enabling autonomous decision-making and control.
This thesis aims to investigate the development of AI-based smart grid restoration strategies, focusing on the application of machine learning algorithms, optimization techniques, and decision support systems. The research will explore how AI can be leveraged to improve the reliability, flexibility, and sustainability of smart grid operations, particularly during restoration processes following outages or disturbances.
