Modern communication networks and digital control techniques are used in a smart grid. The first step is to classify the features of several communication networks and conduct a comparative investigation of the communication networks applicable to the smart grid. The integration of distributed generation has significantly increased as the global energy demand rises, and sustainable energy for electric vehicles and renewable energies worldwide are being pursued. Additional explanations for this surge include environmental concerns, the reforming of the power sector, and the advancing of small-scale electricity generation technologies. Smart monitoring and control of interconnected systems are required to successfully integrate distributed generation into an existing conventional power system. Electric-vehicles-based smart grid technologies are capable of playing this part. Smart grids are crucial to avoid becoming locked in an obsolete energy infrastructure and to draw in new investment sources and build an effective and adaptable grid system. To achieve reliability and high-quality power systems, it is also necessary to apply intelligent grid technologies at the bulk power generation and transmission levels. This paper presents smart grid applicable communication networks and electric vehicles empowering distributed generation systems. Additionally, we address some constraints and challenges and make recommendations that will give proper guidelines for academicians and researchers to resolve the current issues.

The concept of a smart city is aimed at enhancing the quality of life for urban residents, and logistic services are a crucial component of this effort. Despite this, the logistics industry has encountered issues due to the exponential growth of logistics volumes, as well as the complexity of processes and lack of transparency. Consequently, it is necessary to develop an efficient management system that offers traceability and condition monitoring capabilities to ensure the safe and high-quality delivery of goods. Moreover, it is crucial to guarantee the accuracy and dependability of distribution data. In this context, this paper proposes a blockchain-enabled IoT logistics system for the efficient tracking and management of high-price shipments. A smart contract based on blockchain technology has been designed for automatic approval and payment, with the aim of distributing shipping information exclusively among legitimate logistics parties. To ensure authentication, a zero-knowledge proof is used to conceal the blockchain address. Moreover, an intelligent parcel (iParcel) containing piezoresistive sensors is developed to pack delivered goods during the shipping process for violation detection such as severe falls or theft. The iParcels are automatically tracked and traced, and if a violation occurs, the contract is cancelled, and payment is refunded. The transaction fee per party is reasonable, particularly for high-price products that guarantee successful shipment.

The paradigm of currency has shifted today in which the transformation from conventional currency to digitalization is getting higher lately. Cryptocurrency is one form of digital currency today. Cryptocurrencies is developed based on blockchain technology. The existence of cryptocurrency makes it a new and popular transaction model among its users, community, industry, and government. This is crucial study to measure the level of acceptability of cryptocurrency to understand the level of users’ sustainability in the future. Through the expectation confirmation model (ECM), this study develops the integration concept between ECM and technology readiness (TR). The method employed to measure the results of the hypothesis in this study was structural equation modeling. There are nine hypotheses proposed in the present study. Of the nine tested hypotheses, it was found that there are eight accepted hypotheses which are positive and have significance, while one hypothesis was rejected. The results of this study can be used as a guide and understanding of cryptocurrencies and the continued use of cryptocurrencies.

Blockchain is considered one of the key technologies that can accelerate the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The intention to use Blockchain can still be improved in several ways, and how users perceive Blockchain is likely to be influenced by how well they understand the underlying theory. This study examines several important factors, namely government regulation, social influence, perceived security, and Blockchain functional benefits, to measure trust and satisfaction with relationship quality, which may influence the intention to use Blockchain. A sample of 460 people participated in the online questionnaire survey, which was then evaluated with SmartPLS 3. The findings reveal that the social influence and Blockchain functional benefits have a substantial impact on relationship quality, which further results in a positive impact on Blockchain usage intention as well. This study can serve as a reference for companies that need to consider the factors discussed in this study when implementing Blockchain technology to achieve marketing goals and generate sustainable Blockchain usage intentions.

With the international scale context this study, it gives a top level view of the idea of AI pushed supply chain studies, the rising AI primarily based totally enterprise fashions of various case businesses are analysed. Maintainable overall performance and flexibility occupy a huge a part of the charities and studies works associated with the supply chain and logistics, on the only hand due to the dangers innate with inside the supply chain and the opposite hand due to outside turbulences, dangers and crises that may briefly or robustly effect customer’s service. Some of the overall performance matrices which includes advertising and marketing techniques of SCM, want destiny amendment of SCM, function of Artificial Intelligence in SCM production, improvement of SCM is the manner to get achievement for the retail production, function of Artificial Intelligence with inside the organization, key reason of Artificial Intelligence and Purpose of SCM with inside the organization need to be taken in count. Along with those overall performance metrics will support to beautify the deliver chain control functionalities which cause enhance the enterprise.
