Download or read book The Smart Grid written by Math H. J. Bollen and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book links the challenges to which the electricity network is exposed with the range of new technology, methodologies and market mechanisms known under the name "smart grid." The main challenges will be described by the way in which they impact the electricity network: the introduction of renewable electricity production, energy efficiency, the introduction and further opening of the electricity market, increasing demands for reliability and voltage quality, and the growing need for more transport capacity in the grid. Three fundamentally different types of solutions are distinguished in this book: solutions only involving the electricity network (like HVDC and active distribution networks), solutions including the network users but under the control of the network operator (like requirements on production units and curtailment), and fully market-driven solutions (like demand response). An overview is given of the various solutions to the challenges that are possible with new technology; this includes some that are actively discussed elsewhere and others that are somewhat forgotten. Linking the different solutions with the needs of the electricity network, in the light of the various challenges, is a recurring theme in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled spaces have made revolutionary advances in the utility grid. Among these advances, intelligent and energy-efficient services are gaining considerable interest. The use of the smart grid is increasing day after day around us and is not only used in saving energy but also in our daily life for intelligent health, traffic, and even farming systems. The grid enabled with IoT features is also expected to communicate with cellular networks smoothly in the next-generation networks (6G and beyond).

Download or read book A Hybrid Communication Platform for Supporting the Interoperability in Smart Grids written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A smart grid is an information-centric infrastructure for improved efficiency, reliability, and safety in power systems. Based on pervasive data exchange, the infrastructure of a smart grid is designed to manage different power domains ranging from power generation to power consumption. The communication system in a smart grid should seamlessly connect different parts of the power grid. However, in the current practice, different areas of the power system use different communication paradigms such as publish-subscribe and client-server. Consequently, this has caused significant communication interoperability issues among the applications that are built upon different paradigms. The heterogeneity of the communication paradigms has also complicated the development of applications since it is difficult to adopt a single communication platform to serve across different power domains. An effective solution for the communication challenges is to define a connectivity platform that has the capabilities to accommodate different communication requirements. This research proposes a hybrid communication platform to address the heterogeneity of communication paradigms in smart grids. The objectives of the approach are to allow broader data sharing and to facilitate the development of applications in smart grids. The approach first describes the software models that are used to construct the platform. It describes two models to empower both publish-subscribe and client-server communications for allowing broader data sharing across different power applications. The approach then describes building the communication models upon a common data model to allow power applications to interoperate and "speak the same language". The proposed approach also addresses the heterogeneity of devices in smart grids. It does so by describing the communication platform in term of features, and allows those features to be configurable. The configuartion of the features is in consideration with the hardware capabilities of each device. This can effectively address the heterogeneity of devices and allow them to adopt the same platform despite their hardware limitations. The validation of the proposed approach is carried out by applying the configured platform to different types of devices. Several case studies are presented to evaluate the platform in terms of configurability support, communication interoperability support, and quality of performance (i.e., communication latency, data reliability).

Download or read book Integration of Demand Response into the Electricity Chain written by Arturo Losi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Demand Response (DR) generally concerns methodologies, technologies and commercial arrangements that could allow active participation of consumers in the power system operation. The primary aim of DR is thus to overcome the “traditional” inflexibility of electrical demand and, amongst others, create a new powerful tool to maximize deployment of renewable energy sources as well as provide active network management solutions to help reducing the impact of limited grid capabilities. DR allows consumers to actively participate in power system operation, thus bringing new opportunities in emerging energy markets as well as tangible system benefits. In this sense, DR is considered one of the key enablers of the Smart Grid concept. However, DR also poses a number of challenges, particularly when “active demand” is connected to the Low Voltage network, thus affecting all the actors involved in the electricity chain. This book presents for the first time a comprehensive view on technical methodologies and architectures, commercial arrangements, and socio-economic and regulatory factors that could facilitate the uptake of DR. The work is developed in a systematic way so as to create a comprehensive picture of challenges, benefits and opportunities involved with DR. The reader will thus be provided with a clear understanding of the complexity deriving from a demand becoming active, as well as with a quantitative assessment of the techno-economic value of the proposed solutions in a Smart Grid context. Many research contributions have appeared in recent years in the field of DR, both in journals and conference proceedings. However, most publications focus on individual aspects of the problem. A systematic treatment of the issues to be tackled to introduce DR in existing electricity grids, involving the extended value chain in terms of technical and commercial aspects, is still missing. Also, several books have recently been published about Smart Grid, in which there is some mention to DR. However, again while DR is seen as a key pillar for the Smart Grid, there is no dedicated, comprehensive and systematic contribution in this respect.
