The proposed report is regarding the research on how embedded sensors and wireless interface can benefit people in smart grid. In this report, the writer discussed briefly on what smart grid concept is about as well as some theories on how the theories of sensing and wireless can be implemented to the smart grid concept. The writer used a model using the multi agent system island mode operation that could identify the benefit of using sensors and wireless interface. The writer manage to achieve a few results from the model done to show that when fault occurs, the waveforms will change at different point of the circuit and by opening the main grid breaker, the loads will survive on the DC source being the backup source of the system. Lastly the writer suggested some improvements that can be done to this project if the project is to be continued by other students in the future.
