Voltage control is one of the imperative issues in the smart distribution control system. While traditional distribution network is equipped with communication and monitoring equipment, the online voltage control can be perfectly achieved. With using these smart grid technologies, the distribution voltage control schemes should carry out intelligently and cover the undesirable effect of high pe...

With the development of critical loads, power quality problem has become particularly important and poor power quality will be cause many adverse effects and the cost of many deaths will follow. To improve power quality and protection of sensitive loads against grid disturbances have been used new equipment based on power electronics similar FACTs devices, they are Custom Power. One of the most...

Grid systems integrate distributed resources to form self-organization and self-management autonomies. Recently, for large-scale computation requirement, the collaboration of different grid systems is one of the hot research topics. In this paper, we propose a meta-grid framework, called G2G framework, to harmonize autonomic grids for realizing the federation of different grids. The G2G framewo...

Recently, smart grid, which is a newer generation of electricity supply network, is getting lots of attentions due to its huge benefits. One key component of the smart gird is an integrated communication network. To make the smart grid more dependable, it is extremely important to ensure that messages are exchanged over the communication network in a reliable and timely manner. A multiple path ...

Grid users may wish to have fine-grained control of quality of service (QoS) guarantees in a network in order to allow timely data transfer in a distributed application environment. We present a discussion of the issues and problems involved, with some critical analysis. We propose possible solutions by making reference to and analysing existing work. Also, we describe the mechanisms being prop...

Grids consist of the aggregation of numerous dispersed computational, storage and network resources, able to satisfy even the most demanding computing jobs. Due to the data-intensive nature of Grid jobs, there is an increasing interest in Grids using optical transport networks as this technology allows for the timely delivery of large amounts of data. Such Grids are commonly referred to as Lamb...

We present a distributed version of IDA* search algorithm for a computational grid. We also propose a grid architecture based on a multi-agent system paradigm applied to mobile devices on a cellular network. The proposed algorithm is specifically designed to adapt to the flexible environment of the grid. In this paper, we discuss several aspects of the distributed IDA* algorithm and the underly...

Indicators of Quality of Service (QoS) of Fault Isolation and System Restoration (FISR) service, delivered by SCADA system are computed, discussed and correlated to quality indicators of power supplied to customers. In delivering FISR service, SCADA system, Telco network and Power grid act as a whole heterogeneous network. While SCADA system and Telco network can be well represented by means of...

In a grid computing environment, the network characteristics such as bandwidth and latency affect the task performance. The demands for bandwidth of wide-area networks become large and it reaches more than 100 Gbps. In this article, we focus on parallel routes transmission, such as link aggregation, to realize large bandwidth network. The performance of grid computing with parallel routes trans...

Smart grid is a new developing concept in power system. This technology observes the state of power system and intelligently take decisions to quickly clear faults, restores power and monitor demand to preserve the stability and performance of the electric power network formerly done by engineers. This paper discusses the technologies of smart grid and presents a developed model to illustrate t...
