Book excerpt: Smart Grids aim to transform the current electric grid into a "smarter" network where energy production is decentralized and automated, which facilitates the integration of renewable energy resources. This evolution is made possible thanks to the use of a communication network for the multiple heterogeneous data exchanges of the Smart Grids. Hence, the aim of this thesis is to propose an efficient communication paradigm in terms of quality of service for Smart Grids based on wireless sensor networks.First, we study data routing in Smart Grids with the RPL standard. Nevertheless, RPL is not suitable for Smart Grid applications in terms of quality of service. Therefore, we propose an objective function for RPL that takes different features of both nodes and links into consideration. Results show that our approach improves network performance compared to existing solutions in terms of packet delivery ratio, network lifetime, latency and traffic differentiation.Then, we also propose a more efficient data collection by introducing self-organization and data reduction for these wireless sensors. The goal is to predict the value of the measured data rather than transmitting them. Another explored approach is to aggregate the different messages sent across the network while considering their different requirements in terms of quality of service.These two approaches reduce the energy consumption while respecting the requirements of the different applications of the Smart Grids.

Download or read book Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP written by Jean-Philippe Vasseur and published by Morgan Kaufmann. This book was released on 2010-07-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP: The Next Internet explains why the Internet Protocol (IP) has become the protocol of choice for smart object networks. IP has successfully demonstrated the ability to interconnect billions of digital systems on the global Internet and in private IP networks. Once smart objects can be easily interconnected, a whole new class of smart object systems can begin to evolve. The book discusses how IP-based smart object networks are being designed and deployed. The book is organized into three parts. Part 1 demonstrates why the IP architecture is well suited to smart object networks, in contrast to non-IP based sensor network or other proprietary systems that interconnect to IP networks (e.g. the public Internet of private IP networks) via hard-to-manage and expensive multi-protocol translation gateways that scale poorly. Part 2 examines protocols and algorithms, including smart objects and the low power link layers technologies used in these networks. Part 3 describes the following smart object network applications: smart grid, industrial automation, smart cities and urban networks, home automation, building automation, structural health monitoring, and container tracking. Shows in detail how connecting smart objects impacts our lives with practical implementation examples and case studies Provides an in depth understanding of the technological and architectural aspects underlying smart objects technology Offers an in-depth examination of relevant IP protocols to build large scale smart object networks in support of a myriad of new services

Download or read book Computational Intelligence Applications In Smart Grids Enabling Methodologies For Proactive And Self organizing Power Systems written by Ahmed F Zobaa and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the emerging technologies and methodologies of the application of computational intelligence to smart grids.From a conceptual point of view, the smart grid is the convergence of information and operational technologies applied to the electric grid, allowing sustainable options to customers and improved levels of security. Smart grid technologies include advanced sensing systems, two-way high-speed communications, monitoring and enterprise analysis software, and related services used to obtain location-specific and real-time actionable data for the provision of enhanced services for both system operators (i.e. distribution automation, asset management, advanced metering infrastructure) and end-users (i.e. demand side management, demand response).In this context, a crucial issue is how to support the evolution of existing electrical grids from static hierarchal systems to self-organizing, highly scalable and pervasive networks. Modern trends are oriented toward the employment of computational intelligence techniques for deploying advanced control, protection and monitoring architectures that move away from the older centralized paradigm to systems distributed across the field with an increasing pervasion of intelligence devices. The large-scale deployment of computational intelligence technologies in smart grids could lead to a more efficient tasks distribution amongst energy resources and, consequently, to a sensible improvement of the electrical grid flexibility.
