Smart grid is a new highly integrated power grid which refers to the next generation power grid, with advanced features and two-way flow of electricity and communication. The smart grid is expected to provide real-time information and near instantaneous balance between supply side and demand side. It combines with the advanced information and communication technology such as Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). Wi-Fi is a wireless network technology that allows smart meters and other electronic devices to communicate over a wireless medium. In this paper, we have introduced and modeled a new architecture for a community smart grid, where an information center is established as the controller of the community power grid. Based on this new approach, the potential impact of smart battery, smart metering and renewable energy sources have been studied. Then, we provided an optimal approach for power allocation in the new architecture, which can reduce the power taken from the regular utility even in situations of overloading, and reduce the line loss of power scheduling. Finally, we proposed a methodology to analyze the daily load profile for residential clients with renewable energy resources.
