Abstract
The power system has experienced significant changes due to digitalization, decarbonization, and decentralization, leading to the emergence of the smart grid concept. Metaverse is a virtual realm that improves the efficiency and cost of smart power system operation and development in various ways that are rarely considered in the literature. This paper aims to integrate the metaverse into the smart grid architecture model and explain its various applications through different use cases. It also examines the challenges and issues related to the metaverse deployment within the smart grid.
