reaching an electricity system which is both economically efficient and environmentally friendly is motivating countries to design and execute different types of tou demand response programs. but there are certain deficiencies which prevent these programs to effectively modify the load shape. smart grid as a means could help the electricity system to reach the highest demand side management ...

existed electricity grids deliver produced power to the consumer passing through transmission and distribution grids. according to high losses of these grids in transmission level and inexistence of bilateral interaction for simultaneous information exchange, a concept of smart grids were made by capabilities such as consciously participation of consumers in the smart electricity grids, an amou...

Smart grid concept is introduced to modify the power grid by utilizing new information and communication technology. Smart grid needs live power consumption monitoring to provide required services and for this issue, bi-directional communication is essential. Security and privacy are the most important requirements that should be provided in the communication. Because of the complex design of s...

Reaching an electricity system which is both economically efficient and environmentally friendly is motivating countries to design and execute different types of TOU demand response programs. But there are certain deficiencies which prevent these programs to effectively modify the load shape. Smart grid as a means could help the electricity system to reach the highest demand side management ...

Smart Grid (SG) is a smart concept based on cerebral advanced technologies; SG also becomes a subject matter for research. It unified inventive machine and technologies starts from generation, transmission and distribution to the consumer usage. With the advancement in the technology, various steps are taking place to convert power grid to smart grid. At current stage various models of SG are c...

the microgrid concept provides attractive solutions for reliability enhancement of power distribution systems. normally, microgrids contain renewable-energy-based distributed generation (dg) units, which their output power varies with different environmental conditions. in addition, load demand usually changes with factors such as hourly and seasonal customer activities. hence, these issues hav...

Given the recent emergence of the smart grid and smart grid related technologies, their security is a prime concern. Intrusion detection provides a second line of defence. However, conventional intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are unable to adequately address the unique requirements of the smart grid. This paper presents a gap analysis of contemporary IDSs from a smart grid perspective. This ...

The traditional electrical power grid is currently evolving into the smart grid. Smart grid integrates the traditional electrical power grid with information and communication technologies (ICT). Such integration empowers the electrical utilities providers and consumers, improves the efficiency and the availability of the power system while constantly monitoring, controlling and managing the de...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently emerged as enabling technology for the smart gird, smart health, smart transportation, and smart environment as well as for smart cities. The major smart grid devices are smart home appliances, distributed renewable energy resources and power substations. The seven domains existing smart grid conceptual model was developed without the IoT concept in min...

Security in smart grid is challenging. Smart Grid is recognized as two way communication technology. There are numerous communication, intelligent, monitoring and electrical elements employed in power grid that makes it smart. These elements regularly generates cum real timely talks the critical information like monitoring data, customer energy consumption, grid status, demand response etc amon...
