Abstract :
In recent decades, the power systems industry has undergone a fundamental yet gradual transformation a silent revolution driven not by media hype but by steady advancements in technology, evolving energy policies, and the growing demand for sustainability and efficiency. This review article explores the key trends and technologies that are reshaping the traditional structure of power systems. These include the integration of renewable energy sources, the expansion of smart grids, the increasing use of energy storage systems, and the adoption of digital technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in grid operation and management.Drawing on recent research and authoritative sources, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the power industry, analyzing both the challenges and opportunities presented by this quiet transformation. It further examines infrastructure evolution, emerging operational models, and future pathways for power systems.The findings highlight that the future of electrical power lies in rethinking conventional concepts, enhancing grid flexibility, and advancing intelligence and sustainability across the system. This review serves as a foundation for deeper understanding of this technological transition and aims to inform future research and policy-making in the field of power engineering.
