The availability of intelligence at substation level, combined with the adoption of pervasive communication networks, offers technologies and opportunities to decentralized smart grid metering and control. In this domain self-organizing sensor networks equipped by distributed consensus protocols have been recognized as an effective enabling paradigm.The performance of these protocols is usually evaluated...
Demand Side Management requires both an adequate architecture to observe and control the status of the power grid and precise and real time measurements on which rely. In case of frequency fluctuations, precision is no more guaranteed so without adding more hardware the authors exploit FFT interpolation to estimate the real frequency of electrical signals. After the discovery phase follows the measurement...
The evolution of energy demand and production can be faced with a Grid that becomes Smart: a network that is capable of integrating heterogeneous players in both generation and demand, allowing each of them to access electricity market and being able to react in real-time and autonomously to changing conditions on the grid. Such paradigm may allow to provide advanced services (i.e. Demand Response)...
Synchronized Wide-Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS) are very important in the development and the use of power system-wide measurements to avoid large disturbances and reduce the probability of catastrophic events. Typically in WAMS the global absolute time reference for sensors synchronization is obtained by satellite-based timing signals processing. Since these signals are extremely vulnerable to radiofrequency...
The availability of intelligence at substation level, combined with the adoption of pervasive communication networks, offers technologies and opportunities to decentralized smart grid metering and control. In this domain self-organizing sensor networks equipped by distributed consensus protocols has been recognized as an effective enabling paradigm. The large scale deployment of this paradigm asks...
The paper deals with the topic of demand side management in smart grids. After an introduction on Advanced Metering Infrastructures the paper illustrates an architecture the authors are proposing, focused on the development of smart meters and actuators for demand side management. The first results concerning the implementation of suitable digital signal processing algorithms for the electric energy...
