Huge investigations have to be made by car and power companies to realize the electro-mobility and the corresponding infrastructure. One of the critical challenges with respect to the infrastructure is the setup and deployment of a future-proof common standard for smart grids. The charging process requires a smooth communication between electrical vehicles, the power supply equipment and the smart grid. In this regard, different kind of charging locations, the charging characteristic as well as several vehicle to grid stakeholders have to be considered. This paper discusses the vehicle to grid integration and gives an overview of the current ongoing working assumption in the international joint ISO/IEC standardization of the vehicle to grid communication interface (V2G CI). Furthermore, the paper shows an approach how this communication interface can be integrated into the smart grid communication. First project results are presented demonstrating the successful implementation of this approach.

Many countries use Single Wire Earth Return Power (SWER) lines for providing power to customers in rural areas. These SWER lines can be up to 300 km long. For Smart Grid applications and power quality assurance on SWER lines, a communication system is required. Power Line Communications (PLC) signals in the 9 to 95 kHz CENELEC-A frequency band are the most economical means for providing this communication on SWER lines. To inject the PLC signals on the typical 19.1 kV SWER line, a low cost coupler is required. The behavior of SWER line power transformers at PLC frequencies is critical for the design of this coupling network. This paper describes the development of a wide frequency band model for SWER line power transformers and uses this model for the design of coupler networks. A novel technique is used to match the transformer model to measurements. This model matching technique and the resulting transformer model are also applicable to other power transformers.

This paper introduces the concept of the Region Of Stability Existence (ROSE) and describes the framework for utilizing PMU data for computing of this region and operational margins. The approach presented in this paper is an automated process to continuously monitoring the transmission system in real-time environment by accurately calculating power system stability margins. Voltage constraints, thermal limits and steady-state stability are simultaneously monitored during the analysis. The region is shown on the planes of two phase angles and real powers. The paper also demonstrates the effect of remedial actions on the region. The approach is illustrated by using the ISO New England's real-time model, SCADA data and PMU measurements. The study results show that this approach is effective in improving the reliability of the ISO New England's transmission network and may be used for preventing major blackouts.

A number of governments and organizations around the world agree that the first step to address national and international problems such as energy independence, global warming or emergency resilience, is the redesign of electricity networks, known as Smart Grids. Typically, power grids have "broadcasted" power from generation plants to large population of consumers on a suboptimal way. Nevertheless, the fusion of energy delivery networks and digital information networks, along with the introduction of intelligent monitoring systems (Smart Meters) and renewable energies, would enable two- way electricity trading relationships between electricity suppliers and electricity consumers. The availability of real-time information on electricity demand and pricing, would enable suppliers optimizing their delivery systems, while consumers would have the means to minimize their bill by turning on appliances at off-peak hours. The construction of the Smart Grid entails the design and deployment of information networks and systems of unprecedented requirements on storage, real-time event processing and availability. In this paper, a series of system architectures to store and process Smart Meter reading data are explored and compared aiming to establish a solid foundation in which future intelligent systems could be supported.

There is a growing concern worldwide to reduce the carbon footprint through reducing reliance on fossil fuel based energy sources and improving energy efficiency. Fueled by this, the quest to enable a Smart Grid, which aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, match the demand to the available supply and improve energy efficiency is gaining momentum. One of the key components of the Smart Grid will be to level the load, i.e. the ability to shift the demand in time so as to match the available supply and in so doing improve utilisation of resources and reduce (ideally avoid) the reliance on environment unfriendly reserve sources of energy as much as possible. This paper discusses the challenges in achieving such load levelling and elaborates on how existing techniques from networking research could be potentially applied to solve these problems. The broader objective of this paper is to initiate discussion and encourage research in the areas highlighted.

This paper presents a methodology for assessing the suitability of various wireless technologies for meeting the communication requirements of Smart Grid applications. It describes an approach for translating application requirements to link traffic characteristics, determining the transmission range or coverage area of a wireless technology, and modeling the link layer to obtain performance measures such as message reliability, delay, and throughput. To illustrate the use of this approach, we analyze the performance of three representative application use cases over an IEEE 802.11 link.

This paper describes the system architecture and the performance evaluation of a Radio Frequency (RF) mesh based system for smart energy management applications in the Neighborhood Area Network (NAN). The RF mesh system presented in this paper leverages the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band at 902-928 MHz and is based on frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). The performance evaluation is based on a geographical model of the deployment scenario and implements geographical routing combined with appropriate radio propagation models. The results show that the system is able to handle Smart Metering communication traffic with a high reliability provided potential coverage gaps are properly filled with repeater nodes. The proposed methodology allows the identification of coverage gaps, which may cause bottlenecks in the network, prior to deployment and therefore supports efficient and reliable deployment and operation of the system.

The paper focuses on deployment challenges for automated substation data analysis solutions. Through examples from recent deployment projects, the paper discusses the fact that both the utilities and suppliers are dealing with a set of requirements defined as a compromise between the needs of variety of in-house stakeholders. These requirements are prone to changes and that itself is one of the biggest challenges. In addition, the deployment is almost always faced with unexpected challenges from the production environment itself. The paper illustrates a gradual step-by-step approach from a solution demonstration to the production deployment. The first part focuses on the solution that analyzes digital fault recorder and digital protective relay data. In-house testing with both simulated data and with the data obtained from the field is discussed. The second part of the paper discuses implementation and deployment of a new circuit breaker recorder aimed at on-line monitoring circuit breaker operations.

The security and privacy of future smart grid and smart metering networks is important to their rollout and eventual acceptance by the public: research in this area is ongoing and smart meter users will need to be reassured that their data is secure. This paper describes a method for securely anonymizing frequent (for example, every few minutes) electrical metering data sent by a smart meter. Although such frequent metering data may be required by a utility or electrical energy distribution network for operational reasons, this data may not necessarily need to be attributable to a specific smart meter or consumer. It does, however, need to be securely attributable to a specific location (e.g. a group of houses or apartments) within the electricity distribution network. The method described in this paper provides a 3rd party escrow mechanism for authenticated anonymous meter readings which are difficult to associate with a particular smart meter or customer. This method does not preclude the provision of attributable metering data that is required for other purposes such as billing, account management or marketing research purposes.

This paper describes the experience from the world first installation of Smart High Voltage substation with IEC 61850 Process Bus where IEEE 1588 Time Synchronization and dynamic multicast filtering have been used. IEC 61850 is one the 30 standards identified by NIST as key elements for achieving interoperability in the Smart Grid. This paper describes the experience from a high voltage substation in China where Smart Grid had been made reality by replacing large number of copper wires by intelligent electronic devices and fiber optic communications and enabling robust protection, monitoring and control functions to enhance the grid reliability. The authors provide brief introduction to the concept of digital substation and process bus, then provide overview of IEEE 1588 standard for precise time synchronization and finally describe the details of network design and IEC 61850 engineering in a substation where the novel approach with process bus and IEEE 1588 has been implemented. Part of this 110/10kV substation had been equipped with electronic CTs and PTs and Merging Units devices that convert analog signals to IEC 61850-9-2 digital format. Time synchronization had been realized with IEEE 1588 version II, implemented features regarding this standard included Transparent Clocks, peer-to-peer path delay measurement and Best Master Clock selection algorithm for dynamic selection of the clock.
