TL;DR: This work demonstrates the load and source control necessary to optimize management of distributed generation and storage within the Smart Grid.
Abstract: Approximate dynamic programming (ADP) driven adaptive stochastic control (ASC) for the Smart Grid holds the promise of providing the autonomous intelligence required to elevate the electric grid to efficiency and self-healing capabilities more comparable to the internet. To that end, we demonstrate the load and source control necessary to optimize management of distributed generation and storage within the Smart Grid.

TL;DR: The sovereign blockchain technology, which provides transparency and provenance, is utilized in this paper to mitigate these above mentioned problems and proves very efficient as the user can monitor how the electricity is used, and it also provides a platform where there is no manipulation from either party.
Abstract: Electricity is the commonest commodity for most businesses in our world today. The use of electricity has been a breakthrough for the discovery of new technologies and has become the main driving force behind several innovations. With the introduction of smart grid systems, there have been improvements in how utility companies interact with their customers with regards to electricity use. However, since the readings are done via the Internet, there is the tendency for the data to be compromised when it gets into the hands of the wrong people. Moreover, customers mostly do not know why they pay huge amounts and which appliances use more electricity, since they are not privy to the readings. The sovereign blockchain technology, which provides transparency and provenance, is utilized in this paper to mitigate these above mentioned problems. A smart contract, which executes laid down procedures to provide a trust-based system between participants on the network is also implemented. Our system proves very efficient as the user can monitor how the electricity is used, and it also provides a platform where there is no manipulation from either party.

TL;DR: A decentralized and self-organizing solution framework aimed at addressing economic dispatch (ED) analysis in a distributed scenario and it is demonstrated that the solution of the ED analysis can be obtained by computing proper weighted averages of the variable of interests.
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a decentralized and self-organizing solution framework aimed at addressing economic dispatch (ED) analysis in a distributed scenario. In particular we will demonstrate that, under some hypotheses, the solution of the ED analysis can be obtained by computing proper weighted averages of the variable of interests. To compute these global quantities we propose the deployment of a network of cooperative dynamic agents solving distributed average consensus problems. Thanks to this decentralized/nonhierarchical paradigm, all the basic operations needed to solve the economic dispatch problem could be easily processed by the agents. Simulation results obtained on the 118 and 300 bus IEEE test networks are presented and discussed in order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system for managing power supplied over an electric power grid by an electric utility and other market participants to multiplicity of grid elements and devices for supply and/or load curtailment as supply.
Abstract: Systems and methods for managing power supplied over an electric power grid by an electric utility and/or other market participants to multiplicity of grid elements and devices for supply and/or load curtailment as supply, each of which having a Power Supply Value (PSV) associated with its energy consumption and/or reduction in consumption and/or supply, and wherein messaging is managed through a network by a Coordinator using IP messaging for communication with the grid elements and devices, with the energy management system (EMS), and with the utilities, market participants, and/or grid operators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the role of advanced sensing systems in the electric grid of the future and describe the project, development, and experimental validation of a smart power meter, which uses the metrics proposed in the IEEE Standard 1459-2010 to analyze and process voltage and current signals.
Abstract: This paper aims to describe the role of advanced sensing systems in the electric grid of the future. In detail, the project, development, and experimental validation of a smart power meter are described in the following. The authors provide an outline of the potentialities of the sensing systems and IoT to monitor efficiently the energy flow among nodes of an electric network. The described power meter uses the metrics proposed in the IEEE Standard 1459–2010 to analyze and process voltage and current signals. Information concerning the power consumption and power quality could allow the power grid to route efficiently the energy by means of more suitable decision criteria. The new scenario has changed the way to exchange energy in the grid. Now, energy flow must be able to change its direction according to needs. Energy cannot be now routed by considering just only the criterion based on the simple shortening of transmission path. So, even energy coming from a far node should be preferred, if it has higher quality standards. In this view, the proposed smart power meter intends to support the smart power grid to monitor electricity among different nodes in an efficient and effective way.
