The emergence of the smart grid has led to the development of a diverse set of standards and protocols for achieving interoperability among smart devices. These smart grid related standards and protocols cover a wide variety of power system components and functionalities. In this paper, a comprehensive review of commonly used standards and protocols in the smart grid environment is provided, ranging...
In this paper, an innovative agent-based security scheme is proposed for identifying potential impacts of cyber attacks in smart grid protection systems. Smart grids are critical cyber-physical energy systems (CPESs), where potential attacks can manipulate the normal operation of digital relays by injecting malicious control signals. This event could cause the relays to trip at undesired time which...
Performance testing is an important process in the embedded software development. It can detect bugs, help improve software quality and test the system reliability. The objective of this paper is to propose a performance testing method for embedded software platforms. A case study to evaluate the applicability of the proposed method is discussed. Performance tests are performed on three different...
The objective of this paper is to propose a building energy management (BEM) platform that allows sensing and control of equipment in small- and medium-sized buildings. The proposed platform aims to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and foster demand response (DR) implementation by controlling three major loads in buildings, including HVAC, lighting and plug loads. In addition,...
Demand response (DR) is an important demand-side resource that allows for lower electricity consumption when the system is under stress. This paper presents a DR framework that can be implemented within a home area network, as well as a conceptual hardware architecture for a Home Management System (HMS) and appliance interface units that enable in-home DR implementation. The proposed DR strategy allows...
Data management is one of the fundamental requirements of ubiquitous computing. Existing data management systems are complex and provide a multitude of functionalities. Due to complexity and their monolithic architecture, it is difficult to tune these data management systems for consistent performance. In this paper, we extend our existing work of Cellular DBMS with the concept of autonomy. We present...
