This article proposes the consumer-centered energy system (CCES), a cyber-physical-social system that integrates the power grid (physical), communications and computing (cyber), and consumer interactions (social). The authors introduce some basic features of the CCES, provide a CCES architecture for electric vehicles and smart grid, and propose a request-and-schedule energy management protocol.
Smart grid is the modernization of the existing nation-wide power grid. As a core component of the smart grid, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) integrates a two-way communications network which enables customers and utilities to actively monitor and manage their energy use. While the deployment of AMI brings enormous social and industrial benefits, some incurred security and privacy issues need...
Powerline Communications (PLC) is a favorable communication technique for many smart grid applications such as AMI and powerline health monitoring. With the existing powerline infrastructure, PLC provides both communication security and ubiquitousness. However, long-distance communication is very challenging in PLC due to its frequency-dependent channel and noise characteristics. To provide reliable...
Recently data communications over smart grid between the smart meters and the central modem attract a lot of interests. Extensive works have been done based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system on one of the possible solutions for smart grid, i.e., low voltage power lines. Although OFDMA has been widely adopted in many wired and wireless communication systems, its multicarrier...
Power line communications (PLC) play an important role in smart grid for its cost efficiency. However, the power line is not designed for communication purposes so that its communication environment is hostile with formidable obstacles such as frequency selective fading and impulsive noise. A number of existing methods have been used to deal with the challenges of PLC. Nevertheless, most of existing...
