Smart metering infrastructure allows for two-way communication and power transfer. Based on this promising technology, we propose a demand-side management (DSM) scheme for a residential neighbourhood of prosumers. Its core is a discrete time dynamic game to schedule individually owned home energy storage. The system model includes an advanced battery model, local generation of renewable energy,...

Integrating the power grid technology with renewable power generation technologies, Demand Response (DR) programs enabled by the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) were introduced into the power grid in the interest of both utilities and residents. They help to achieve load balance and increase the grid reliability by encouraging residents to reduce their power usage during peak load period...

The eTelligence project explores and demonstrates various smart energy grid ideas by using modern ICT (information and communications technology). For this purpose, many new and heterogeneous types of smart grid systems have to be developed and integrated, such as a regional energy market, distributed energy management systems, and an advanced metering infrastructure. The future interaction sce...

The recently emerging advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is envisioned to be one of the most prominent features of smart grid. Security, especially authentication, is crucial for the success of large-scale AMI deployment. Unfortunately, AMI’s natural requirements—efficiency, scalability, fault diagnoses, and reliability—cannot be fully satisfied by existing authentication schemes. To valida...

Recently, in the Republic of Korea, there's a growing interest in the Smart Grid and IoT technologies and many companies are attempting to build the IoT-applied Smart Homes. Although a variety of related products are being introduced to the market, their effects are yet to be recognized. The major reason is that new structures need to be added to existing homes to implement the technology which...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) provide a cost efficient solution for data gathering in future smart environments like smart grids and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). Using the traditional minimum cost routing, with the consumed energy as the routing metric to achieve maximum lifetime, leads to congestions along shortest paths. Multipath routing and load balancing is a logical way to ex...

The term "smart grid" generally refers to a next-generation power grid in which the generation, transmission, distribution, and management of electricity are upgraded and automated by incorporating advanced computing and communication technologies for improving the efficiency, reliability, economics, and safety of the grid. Loosely speaking, a smart grid is composed of a power grid and a two-wa...

The smart grid is the next generation of power and distribution systems. The integration of advanced network, communications, and computing techniques allows for the enhancement of efficiency and reliability. The smart grid interconnects the flow of information via the power line, intelligent metering, renewable and distributed energy systems, and a monitoring and controlling infrastructure. Fo...

For century, there has been no change in the fundamental structure of the electrical power grid and vehicle networks. Current hierarchical, centrally controlled grid of the electrical grid is not best for growing demand. To address the challenges of the existing power grid, the new concept of smart grid and smarter planet are under research. The smart grid can be considered as a modern electric...
