The study addresses critical challenges in renewable energy integration, including variable generation, power quality issues and grid stability. The core innovation lies in applying quantum computing algorithms, enhanced by AI, for real-time optimization of smart grid operations. Quantum computing’s parallel processing capabilities enable rapid solutions to complex optimization problems, while AI provides predictive diagnostics and adaptive control. This synergy enhances fault detection, load balancing and power quality management. The framework incorporates Unified Power Quality Conditioners (UPQC) and microcontroller-based smart meters for real-time monitoring and compensation of voltage sags, swells and unbalanced loads. IoT-enabled data acquisition supports low-latency decision-making, ensuring efficient and stable energy distribution. Hardware implementations and simulation-based case studies validate the approach, demonstrating improved grid resilience, reduced energy wastage and enhanced operational security. Cybersecurity considerations are addressed through quantum-safe encryption and secure communication protocols. This work bridges the gap between theoretical advances in quantum-AI technologies and their practical deployment in renewable energy-driven smart grids.
