TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss some of the smart grid applications and estimates the communication requirements of a medium data intensive smart grid device, and propose data communication enabled solutions and enhancements.
Abstract: The Smart Grid of the future, while expected to affect all areas of the Electric Power System, from Generation, to Transmission, to Distribution, cannot function without an extensive data communication system. Smart Grid has the potential to support high levels of Distributed Generation (DG); however the current standards governing the interconnection of DG do not allow the implementation of several applications which may be beneficial to the grid. This paper discusses some of the Smart Grid applications, and estimates the communication requirements of a medium data intensive Smart Grid device. Two issues that will become very important with the spread of DG are DG Islanding and DG Availability. For each issue, we propose data communication enabled solutions and enhancements.

TL;DR: This paper analyzes the security of a recent relevant work in smart grid and proposes a new efficient provably secure authenticated key agreement scheme for smart grid that achieves the well-known security functionalities including smart meter credentials’ privacy and SK-security under the CK-adversary model.
Abstract: Due to the rapid development of wireless communication systems, authentication becomes a key security component in smart grid environments. Authentication then plays an important role in the smart grid domain by providing a variety of security services including credentials’ privacy, session-key (SK) security, and secure mutual authentication. In this paper, we analyze the security of a recent relevant work in smart grid, and it is unfortunately not able to deal with SK-security and smart meter secret credentials’ privacy under the widely accepted Canetti–Krawczyk adversary (CK-adversary) model. We then propose a new efficient provably secure authenticated key agreement scheme for smart grid. Through the rigorous formal security analysis, we show that the proposed scheme achieves the well-known security functionalities including smart meter credentials’ privacy and SK-security under the CK-adversary model. The proposed scheme reduces the computation overheads for both smart meters and service providers. Furthermore, the proposed scheme offers more security functionalities as compared to the existing related schemes.

TL;DR: In this article, an active-power control of individual converter cells is presented to make it possible to charge and discharge the battery units at different power levels while producing a three-phase balanced line-to-line voltage.
Abstract: The battery energy storage system is an essential enabling device of the smart grid, because it helps grid connection of massive renewable energy resources. This paper has a brief discussion on a battery energy storage system based on a multilevel cascade pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) converter for its practical use. The active-power control of individual converter cells is presented to make it possible to charge and discharge the battery units at different power levels while producing a three-phase balanced line-to-line voltage. This results in the maximum utilization of battery energy even when the power-handling capabilities of the battery units differ. Experimental results obtained from a 200-V, 10-kW, 3.6-kWh battery energy storage system verify the effectiveness of the presented active-power control.

TL;DR: The incremental welfare consensus algorithm is distributed and cooperative such that it eliminates the need for a central energy-management unit, central price coordinator, or leader, and convergence to the global optimum without requiring a central controller/coordinator or leader.
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the incremental welfare consensus algorithm for solving the energy management problem in a smart grid environment populated with distributed generators and responsive demands. The proposed algorithm is distributed and cooperative such that it eliminates the need for a central energy-management unit, central price coordinator, or leader. The optimum energy solution is found through local peer-to-peer communications among smart devices. Each distributed generation unit is connected to a local price regulator, as is each consumer unit. In response to the price of energy proposed by the local price regulators, the power regulator on each generation/consumer unit determines the level of generation/consumption power needed to optimize the benefit of the device. The consensus-based coordination among price regulators drives the behavior of the overall system toward the global optimum, despite the greedy behavior of each unit. The primary advantages of the proposed approach are: 1) convergence to the global optimum without requiring a central controller/coordinator or leader, despite the greedy behavior at the individual level and limited communications; and 2) scalability in terms of per-node computation and communications burden.
