Nowadays, energy management and its optimization using smart devices are getting more attention due to their significant applications. Moreover, the applications used in these devices play a key role in developing smart cities that is only the way to solve urban problems. The potential of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power has been integrated in the smart grids to overcome the lack of supply via conventional fossil fuels and their environmental disputes that reduce operational cost. This review paper describes the significance of renewable power data that directly assists all the functions in smart cities such as the evolution of microgrids, renewable resources, energy forecasting, and power storage technologies. Furthermore, solar and wind power plants’ data with weather information as an additional cue is collected from different companies in South Korea. We aim to assist the researchers to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms for power forecasting and establish its efficient management between suppliers and consumers.
