Abstract

Thailand is involved in greenhouse gas emissions. It is a country that is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Therefore, international measures must be implemented to achieve sustainable economic, social and environmental growth. And integration with long-term national development guidelines. Data preparation Knowledge and public awareness Smart grid technology are essential in the energy transition to carbon neutrality. This is because the energy and transportation sectors have high greenhouse gas emissions. More intelligent electric grid systems connect cutting-edge technologies from many fields, such as information and communication technology, measurement technology, control and command technology, power generation and distribution technology, energy management technology, forecasting and forecasting technologies, etc. When these components are allocated to work together systematically, it will improve reliability and power quality, sustainability and efficiency of production and energy use, development of work and services of the electricity authority defining device, compatibility standards, and development of economic and industrial competitiveness. Smart grid technology increases grid flexibility to support the increase in renewable energy, including integration, connection, and utilization of different types of distributed energy resources that will grow according to global trends and the grid system for maximum efficiency to help support Thailand to move towards Carbon Neutrality through the framework of the National Energy Plan.
