EPBiH) is a Bosnian public electric utility company with headquarters in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. . Elektroprivreda BiH was established on 30 August 1945 as the Electric Utility Company of Bosnia and Herzegovina ". . The company is the largest electric utility company in , and as such part of the largest country's energy concern EPBiH Concern. Elektroprivreda BiH is a joint stock company in which 90% of the capital is o. .

Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), a country of around 3.5 million people, is currently a net exporter of electricity – the only one in the Western Balkans. More than half of its electricity generation capacity is made up of hydropower, while the remainder is made up of five lignite power plants.
The scope of its work was electricity transmission, and design, construction, maintenance and development of the transmission system in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was the first time that the electricity transmission in Bosnia and Herzegovina was organized as a specific electric power activity.
This was the first time that the electricity transmission in Bosnia and Herzegovina was organized as a specific electric power activity. The first significant core of 110 kV network in Bosnia and Herzegovina was formed in 1954. It comprised the network of 110 kV overhead power line whose length was 480 km and 5 transformer substations of 110/35 kV.
To boost energy efficiency and energy savings, it also needs to cap primary energy consumption at 6.5 Mtoe and final energy consumption at 4.34 Mtoe by 2030. In mid-2023 Bosnia and Herzegovina published a draft National Energy and Climate Plan.
Bosnia and Herzegovina could do a lot more to use energy efficiently. Electricity prices are kept artificially low and there is therefore limited incentive to make savings. The country is almost four times as energy-intensive as the average in EU countries and has the highest energy intensity in the Western Balkans.
Bosnia and Herzegovina does not have its own natural gas extraction so it is dependent on the Beregovo – Horgos – Zvornik import route from Russia via Ukraine, Hungary and Serbia. Gas use in the country is limited by the distribution network which is only present in Sarajevo, Zenica, Zvornik and Visoko.

Decarbonization, Digitalization and Decentralization are considered the main key drivers for this power system transition and Brazil is no exception to this universal trend. A search of the literature revealed few studies which attempt to address the main challenges and opportunities towards a smart grid power system in Brazil.
Smart grids are expected to be at an intermediate level of development in Brazil by 2030 ( Carvalho, 2015 ). A disruptive project towards a smart grid power system has been recently proposed by a state-controlled electricity company in the country (in Portuguese, Companhia Paranaense de Energia – COPEL).
Smart metering is considered an emerging and under development technological system in Brazil. Currently, the use of smart metering is Brazil is restricted to pilot smart grid projects of specific distribution utilities. The deployment of smart meters is a fundamental step for the deployment of smart grids in Brazil.
Challenges and opportunities for a smart grid power system in Brazil are addressed. An inadequate net-metering system for DG may shift the costs from DG to non-DG users. The deployment of storage technologies is at a slow pace of growth. Regulation for electrical vehicles is still emerging.
This system was proposed by the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL) in 2013, and it is regulated by the RN nº 547 ( ANEEL, 2013 ), although the starting point of its implementation is dated to 2015.
Summary and discussion It is well known that the global electricity sector has been witnessing a significant share of innovations together with a high increase in renewable energy, and Brazil is no exception. Decarbonization, Digitalization and Decentralization of the energy sector will be the main three key drivers of the power system evolution.

The microgrid in grid-connected mode should operate in constant P–Q mode. Thus the inverter is operated in constant current control mode using d–q-axis-based current control. Consider the inverter model as s. . The current controller should be designed in such away that it has a high bandwidth so that speed of response is large. But the gain provided by the closed loop system at switching frequen. . Before the voltage controller can be designed the plant transfer function on the DC side needs to be determined, which relates the ac and dc side inverter currents. The power balan. .

The transition between grid-connected and islanded mode in a VSI-fed system is carried out in a systematic manner as detailed in this paper. During grid-connected mode, the inverters are modelled as sources supplying constant real and reactive power (P– Q) using d–q axis current control.
The control schemes for grid-connected and islanded modes in a VSI-fed system are explained in the subsequent sections. During grid-connected mode, the microgrid should operate in constant P–Q mode, and the inverter is operated in constant voltage, constant reactive power (V-Vr) control. (2.1 Control scheme during grid-connected mode)
In a grid-connected microgrid, the sources are controlled to provide constant real and reactive power injection. In contrast, during islanded mode, the sources are controlled to provide constant voltage and frequency operation. Special control schemes are needed to ensure smooth transition between these modes.
This paper investigates the operation of microgrid during transition from grid-connected to island mode and vice versa with inverter-based DG sources. A systematic approach for designing the grid connected and island mode controllers is described. Contributions of the paper are the following:
Sometimes the islanded mode controls may become more complex than grid-connected mode controls. The control, protection and stability issues, being much different from those of the conventional power system, open up new prospects of research in this field.
The microgrid in grid-connected mode should operate in constant P – Q mode. Thus the inverter is operated in constant current control mode using d – q -axis-based current control. Consider the inverter model as shown in figure 1 b along with the filter.
