Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of sensor nodes widely dispersed in predefined geographical fields. These sensors might be used for continuous monitoring such as temperature monitoring or might be used for event triggers such as when the temperature exceeds a certain threshold an alarm should be fired. The sensors in WSN communicate wirelessly with a target to transmit the sensed data to the base station. The base station will upload the data to the internet to be analyzed in the control station. One of the most efficient routing mechanisms is clustering. Clustering splits the network into clusters with cluster head assignment to each cluster. The cluster head is responsible for all intra-cluster communication. In a crisis case scenario, one or more sensors might be non-functional. In case the cluster head is non-functional then the whole cluster will be disconnected. This paper proposes a new weighted cluster routing protocol for WSN network. In a crisis scenario, the proposed protocol ensures an end-to-end connection by selecting a redundant cluster head also known as a secondary cluster head. The secondary cluster head will take over the role of the primary cluster head in case it is non-functional. Using MATLAB, a simulation for the proposed protocol is carried. It studies the effect of variant variables on cluster formation, primary cluster head selection, and secondary cluster head selection.

Smart grid networks require sufficient protection so as to safeguard the sensitive data that is exchanged among the smart meter, gateway node, data aggregators and utility service providers. To this end, numerous schemes have been presented based on a myriad of techniques such as public key cryptography, bilinear pairing operations, device identities and elliptic curve cryptography among others. However, many security loopholes still lurk in these protocols. In addition, performance is another serious issue that needs to be solved especially for smart gas meters. In this paper, a symmetric key based message verification protocol is presented. Extensive security evaluation is executed to show that the proposed protocol offers mutual authentication, key agreement and untraceability. It is also resilient against man-in-the-middle, verifier leakage, message replay, impersonation and known session key attacks. In terms of performance, the proposed protocol has the least communication costs and lower computation overheads compared with its peers.

This paper proposes a five-level inverter. The proposed multilevel inverter is based on Switched Capacitor (SC) circuits. The charged capacitors act as a virtual dc link in the negative half-cycle. This feature leads to using a single dc source. Additionally, the proposed Multilevel Inverter (MLI) benefits from the common ground feature. The leakage current is eliminated fully in this structure which is of great importance in transformer-less systems. The proposed MLI is described comprehensively. The operational modes are discussed. The correct operation of the proposed structure is confirmed by MATLAB/Simulink.

This paper proposes a new algorithm with a new formula for assessing and ranking the power load buses concerning the voltage stability involved in the short-circuit faults occurring in multi-machine power system operations. The new mathematical formula, determined by the values of transient voltage stability estimation (TVSE), allows estimating the transient state and assessing the transient structures of the power systems concerning the transient voltage stability. The oscillations of the generator’s angular velocities, varying in time and causing the power network’s non-linearity in transient configurations of the power system under the condition of the single-shot automatic line reclosing, are mathematically simulated. The transient parameters, such as the synchronous, asynchronous, damping torques, angles of transient electromotive forces, are simulated under the impact of automatic voltage and frequency regulation. The transient voltage stability estimation values are determined to assess the transient structures influenced by the continuous disturbance of angular velocities of the generators operating in the multi-machine power system. The typical examples and results prove the advantages of the new algorithm features for analyzing the multiple contingencies with the ALR in multi-machine power systems.

Over the last decades, light-emitting diodes have gained a special position in the lighting market over the conventional lighting sources due to their unique features over them such as their high efficacy, long lifetime, reduced power consumption, and being environmentally friendly. So, in this paper a multiple-output LED driver is proposed, the suggested topology has the advantages of being electrolytic capacitor-less which greatly extends the driver life span, the proposed topology has the ability to control the currents in each output channel independently and operate at a universal range of the supply voltage from 85 Vrms to 265 Vrms.

Increasing penetration of intermittent renewable generation and demand uncertainty in electric power systems has accelerated the efforts to improve system reliability. This study presents a method to identify the benefits of the two representative storage systems in composite electric power systems in terms of system reliability and cost-effectivity. At first, the reliability indices of the system are determined using the results of contingency analysis integrated with Monte Carlo simulations. Then the total costs, including the generation, storage, and low-reliability costs, are calculated. The proposed method is applied to the IEEE-RTS-96 test system to quantify the benefits. The two alternatives, namely, Compressed Air Energy Storage Systems (CAES) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), are compared to their overall cost benefits.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading, one of the new paradigms driven by decentralization, decarbonization, and digitalization of the smart grid, has become a widespread technique in recent years. Additionally, the rise of the double auction for P2P energy trading suggests better trading algorithms with unprecedented economic and technical benefits. This work evaluates various discrete double auction mechanisms, i.e., Average, VCG, Trade reduction, and McAfee's for multiple microgrids. By doing this, the trading algorithm provides players more flexibility to decide from the types of double auctions available. We further study properties such as individual rationality, balanced budget, truthfulness, and economic efficiency associated with energy trading. For practical applicability, we simulate the functionality of the trading algorithms using IEEE LV feeder data. In the end, this work demonstrates a variation in energy trading and social welfare due to the time of usage tariff and change in bidding range.

An integrated power system should provide stable and reliable power supply in any given economy. Western Kenya Region (WKR) has experienced voltage instabilities caused by inadequate transmission line infrastructure. The remedy adopted by Kenya Power is Under Voltage Load Shedding This paper proposes inclusion of parallel transmission lines to lower overall impedance and improve voltage stability and power transfer capability. The region's transmission system was modelled on an IEEE 39 Bus System and simulated using Digsilent Powerfactory software. The results revealed that parallel inclusion of transmission network significantly improved voltage levels and reduced loading of the main transmission lines into the region. The minimum bus voltage improved by up to 6.2%, whereas power transfer capability improved by an average of 42.09%. A Benefit/Cost Analysis qualified implementation of the proposed project to be economically viable. Due to increased loading on transmission lines, addition of Capacitor banks or suitable Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System devices at the buses with the lowest voltages would be recommended.
