NIST has considered the performance of AES candidates on smart-cards as an important selection criterion and many submitters have highlighted the compactness and eeciency of their submission on low end smart cards. However, in light of recently discovered power based attacks, we strongly argue that evaluating smart-card suitability of AES candidates requires a very cautious approach. We demonst...

The Smart Grid, generally referred to as the next-generation power system, is considered as a revolutionary and evolutionary regime of existing power grids. More importantly, with the integration of advanced computing and communication technologies, the Smart Grid is expected to greatly enhance efficiency and reliability of future power systems with renewable energy resources, as well as distri...

The energy demand in the enterprise market segment demands a supply format that accommodates all generation and storage options with active participation by end users in demand response. Basically, with today’s high power computing (HPC), a highly reliable, scalable, and cost effective energy solution that will satisfy power demands and improve environmental sustainability will have a broad acc...

For a hundred years, there has been no change in the basic structure of the electrical power grid. Experiences have shown that the hierarchical, centrally-controlled grid of the twentieth century is ill-suited to the needs of the twenty-first. To address the challenges of the existing power grid, the new concept of smart grid has emerged. The smart grid can be considered as a modern electric po...

Smart grid is the latest trend of development and reform in today’s world, and it is also a major technological innovation and development trend in the 21st century. Internet of Things technology is a new information processing and acquisition method, and it has been widely used in intelligent transportation, environmental monitoring and other fields. Internet of Things is an important technica...

In recent decade, with advancements in telecommunications and information management systems technology and the increasing requirements of various sectors of the power industry for monitoring and controlling all of the network components (from production to consumption) power companies feel necessary to add intelligence to their grid as a scientific and practical solution to the utility industr...

New intelligent power grids (smart grids) will be an essential way of improving efficiency in power supply and power consumption, facilitating the use of distributed and renewable resources on the supply side and providing consumers with a range of tailored services on the consumption side. The delivery of efficiencies and advanced services in a smart grid will require both a comprehensive over...

This paper reports a self powered smart sensor node (also called ‘smart tag’) consisting of a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester, a power conditioning circuit, sensors and an RF transmitter. The smart tag has dimensions similar to a credit card and can be easily integrated into various applications such as the ibration energy harvesting iezoelectric generator elf-powered ireless sensor no...

The growth of the population of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets provides huge amount of idling computing power. Smart phone technology drastically reduces the use of power for doing common internet applications such as chatting, send/receive mail, downloading music, video, data from internet. Smart phones now drastically replaces the normal cell phones. Smart phones can be used ...

Index Terms — Smart grid; power engineering education; power engineering curriculum; power engineering resources; power engineering workforce. Abstract — A widely supported effort to modernize the United States power system has led to an engineering initiative variously known as ‘smart grid’, ‘intelligrid’, “gridwise”, “modern grid”, “perfect grid”, “future grid”, and similarly denominated prog...
