Abstract
The integration of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) into embedded systems for smart grid applications has revolutionized real-time data processing, control precision, and system scalability. With the increasing demand for decentralized energy management, renewable integration, and robust grid monitoring, FPGA-based embedded platforms offer a viable solution due to their reconfigurability, low latency, and hardware parallelism. This paper explores the architecture, implementation strategies, and functional advantages of FPGA-embedded systems in modern smart grids. Emphasis is placed on their use in phasor measurement units (PMUs), demand-side management, and secure communication protocols. The article highlights recent advancements, deployment challenges, and future research prospects in this interdisciplinary domain.
