This paper proposes a novel software defined wireless sensor network (SDWSN) based grid to vehicle (G2V) load management scheme to initiate off peak hour valley filling of the daily power supply curve. In particular, this paper focuses on domestic Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) charging that adopts smart energy allocation technique to maximize the number of charging vehicles and uses a Software...
A possible candidate for implementing smart grid neighborhood area network (NAN) is wireless communications because of its advantages, such as flexibility and low installation and maintenance cost. However, one of the problems with wireless communication is its unreliability, whereas communication reliability is a basic requirement of smart grid applications. In this paper, we consider a wireless...
Smart grid uses an advanced metering infrastructure to create a two-way communication network between smart grid components and machine-to-machine communications have a great potential to implement this communication network. In this paper, we propose a one-layer aggregation-based machine-to-machine architecture for advanced metering infrastructure architecture of smart grid and focus on finding the...
The distribution segment of the power system is of great importance in the smart grid (SG). The deployment of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to support conventional grid will solve legacy problems that used to prevent implementation of smart services such as smart metering, Demand Side Management (DSM) or the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) within the SG. In this...
With the integration of the advanced computing and communication technologies, smart grid system is dedicated to enhance the efficiency and the reliability of future power systems greatly through renewable energy resources, as well as distributed communication intelligence and demand response. Along with advanced features of smart grid, the reliability of smart grid communication system emerges to...
The Smart Grid communication networks need to serve a large number of devices distributed over a wide geographical area. The Smart Grid devices will generate different classes of traffic with varying Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. One of the key problems in a wide area network is the cost-effective connectivity to all devices which may be operating in an energy-constrained environment. In...
Major components of smart metering infrastructure are smart meter, communication network, meter data collection system and meter data management system. Smart meter measures energy usage at different time intervals and transmit measured data to utility through communications technology networks. This infrastructure shall provide a reliable, efficient and secure power supply to the consumers and reduce...
Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) is a key component of a smart grid communication network infrastructure. A NAN generally works as an access network connecting all the customer equipment and some field devices to the smart grid communication infrastructure to exchange data and control information. NANs can be designed based on infrastructure based access network such as WiMAX or LTE based system to...
