The goal of this paper is to establish a framework called SMOME for evaluating the marginal utility of adding smart sensing and metering hardware to residential premises, in terms of efficiency improvement (reduction in energy consumption) and economic benefits (reduction in energy cost). In order to isolate the effect of smart home technologies on energy efficiency, it is assumed that no changes...
In this paper, we design an architecture of Energy Management Systems (EMS) for resilient operation of microgrids and describe autonomous mechanisms that dynamically enable 1) enhancement for scalability, 2) system modification and upgrade, and 3) failure detection and recovery. Designing the resilient architecture and achieving autonomous mechanisms are of critical importance for a system operator...
Smart grid technologies will equip the electrical grid of the future with two-way information flow between grid entities and consumers. This bidirectional information flow facilitates improved grid monitoring, control automation, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Several smart grid networking architectures have been proposed recently. However, the majority of these are restricted to subdomains...
Studies reveal that an integrated system of smart grid and cloud computing ecosystems can better attain the energy efficiency objectives, considering all the aspects. To facilitate the integration, in this paper, we introduce an agent-oriented economic middleware architecture (ARTA) to exchange pervasive energy and computing resources in different layers of the service provisioning platform, from...
Energy cost from Heating-Ventilation-Air-Conditioners (HVAC) is a significant fraction of the overall operational cost of commercial buildings. Moreover, in developing countries such as India with inadequate grid connectivity and frequent outages, diesel generators (DG) are a common source of backup power. While this may address the problem of outages, power from DGs is highly expensive. While solar...
The paper aims at demonstrating the feasibility of an execution platform that is capable of performing protection and control functions from various vendors in a controlled manner. This will reduce vendor dependency enabling utilities to standardize hardware while implementing complex protection schemes from multiple vendors at reduced cost. The paper develops protection system including earth, differential...
