A survey on Smart Grid technologies and applications
Renewable Energy, 2020Co-Authors: G. DileepAbstract:Abstract The Smart Grid is an advanced digital two-way power flow power system capable of self-healing, adaptive, resilient and sustainable with foresight for prediction under different uncertainties. In this paper, a survey on various Smart Grid enabling technologies, Smart Grid metering and communication, cloud computing in Smart Grid and Smart Grid applications are explored in detail. Opportunities and future of Smart Grid is also described in this paper. For Smart Grid enabling technologies Smart meters, Smart sensors, vehicle to Grid, plug in hybrid electric vehicle technology, sensor and actuator networks are explored. Advanced metering infrastructure, intelligent electronic devices, phasor measurement units, wide area measurement systems, local area network, home access network, neighborhood area network, wide area networks and cloud computing are explored for Smart Grid metering and communication. Home and building automation, Smart substation, feeder automation is explored for Smart Grid applications. Associations of initial studies for the next step in Smart Grid applications will provide an economic benefit for the authorities in the long term, and will help to establish standards to be compatible with every application so that all Smart Grid applications can be coordinated under the control of the same authorities. Therefore, this study is expected to be an important guiding source for researchers and engineers studying the Smart Grid. It also helps transmission and distribution system operators to follow the right path as they are transforming their classical Grids to Smart Grids.

A Survey on Cyber Security for Smart Grid Communications
IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials, 2012Co-Authors: Ye Yan, Husayn El Sharif, Hamid Sharif, Yi Qian, David TipperAbstract:A Smart Grid is a new form of electricity network with high fidelity power-flow control, self-healing, and energy reliability and energy security using digital communications and control technology. To upgrade an existing power Grid into a Smart Grid, it requires significant dependence on intelligent and secure communication infrastructures. It requires security frameworks for distributed communications, pervasive computing and sensing technologies in Smart Grid. However, as many of the communication technologies currently recommended to use by a Smart Grid is vulnerable in cyber security, it could lead to unreliable system operations, causing unnecessary expenditure, even consequential disaster to both utilities and consumers. In this paper, we summarize the cyber security requirements and the possible vulnerabilities in Smart Grid communications and survey the current solutions on cyber security for Smart Grid communications.

Cloud Computing Applications for Smart Grid: A Survey
IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2015Co-Authors: Samaresh Bera, Sudip Misra, Joel J. P. C. RodriguesAbstract:The fast-paced development of power systems necessitates Smart Grids to facilitate real-time control and monitoring with bidirectional communication and electricity flows. Future Smart Grids are expected to have reliable, efficient, secured, and cost-effective power management with the implementation of distributed architecture. To focus on these requirements, we provide a comprehensive survey on different cloud computing applications for the Smart Grid architecture, in three different areas-energy management, information management, and security. In these areas, the utility of cloud computing applications is discussed, while giving directions on future opportunities for the development of the Smart Grid. We also highlight different challenges existing in the conventional Smart Grid (without cloud application) that can be overcome using cloud. In this survey, we present a synthesized overview of the current state of research on Smart Grid development. We also identify the current research problems in the areas of cloud-based energy management, information management, and security in Smart Grid.

blockchain for future Smart Grid a comprehensive survey
IEEE Internet of Things Journal, 2021Co-Authors: Muhammad Baqer Mollah, Jun Zhao, Dusit Niyato, Kwokyan Lam, Xin Zhang, Amer M Y M Ghias, Leong Hai Koh, Lei YangAbstract:The concept of Smart Grid has been introduced as a new vision of the conventional power Grid to figure out an efficient way of integrating green and renewable energy technologies. In this way, Internet-connected Smart Grid, also called energy Internet, is also emerging as an innovative approach to ensure the energy from anywhere at any time. The ultimate goal of these developments is to build a sustainable society. However, integrating and coordinating a large number of growing connections can be a challenging issue for the traditional centralized Grid system. Consequently, the Smart Grid is undergoing a transformation to the decentralized topology from its centralized form. On the other hand, blockchain has some excellent features which make it a promising application for the Smart Grid paradigm. In this article, we aim to provide a comprehensive survey on the application of blockchain in Smart Grid. As such, we identify the significant security challenges of Smart Grid scenarios that can be addressed by blockchain. Then, we present a number of blockchain-based recent research works presented in different literature addressing security issues in the area of Smart Grid. We also summarize several related practical projects, trials, and products that have emerged recently. Finally, we discuss essential research challenges and future directions of applying blockchain to Smart Grid security issues.

Cyber security for Smart Grid communications: Part I
IEEE Communications Magazine, 2012Co-Authors: Rose Qingyang Hu, Hsiao-hwa Chen, Yi Qian, Hussein T. MouftahAbstract:Smart Grid is a term referring to the next generation power Grid in which the electricity distribution and management is upgraded by incorporating advanced twoway digital technology and communication capabilities for improved control, efficiency, reliability, and safety. A communication infrastructure is an essential part in the success of the emerging Smart Grid. A scalable and pervasive communication infrastructure is crucial in both construction and operation of a Smart Grid. To ensure the correct functioning of a Smart Grid, it is essential that communications are secured, devices are protected from physical attack, and privacy is respected. Communications require authentication and confidentiality, devices require protection from physical attacks, and the system as a whole must be robust. Authorization will be vital to support secure remote configuration and multihoming scenarios. The privacy of Smart Grid customers must be protected.
