The following topics are dealt with: smart power grid; energy management system; distributed power balancing; wide area monitoring and control; fault detection; distributed photovoltaic generators; advanced metering; power transformers; substation automated data analysis; electric vehicles; cognitive radio; wireless sensors communication; overhead transmission line monitoring; secure communication...
As the power system evolves into a smarter and more flexible state, so must the communication technologies that support it. A key requirement for facilitating the distributed production of future grids is that communication and information are standardized to ensure interoperability. The IEC 61850 standard, which was originally aimed at substation automation, has been expanded to cover the monitoring...
Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) have received much interest in recent years, as concerns about environmental quality, energy security and economic development have risen. Diverse strategies are adopted today by the industry to overcome the new challenges in this emerging market ranging from battery ownership, to charging, to demand response and to billing. However, strategy selection is not well...
Huge investigations have to be made by car and power companies to realize the electro-mobility and the corresponding infrastructure. One of the critical challenges with respect to the infrastructure is the setup and deployment of a future-proof common standard for smart grids. The charging process requires a smooth communication between electrical vehicles, the power supply equipment and the smart...
Charging large numbers of Plug-in Electric Vehicles may result in overloading sections of the electric power grid at certain times of the day. Smart grid technologies can be used to delay charging or regulate charging rates, enabling the existing power system to handle the increased load without having to increase peak power capacity of feeders or add generation. A key component of the Smart Grid...
The anticipated increase in the number of plug-in electric vehicles (EV) will put additional strain on electrical distribution circuits. Many control schemes have been proposed to control EV charging. Here, we develop control algorithms based on randomized EV charging start times and simple one- way broadcast communication allowing for a time delay between communication events. Using arguments from...
