The Smart Grid is a complex cyber-physical system that is evolving rapidly from a relatively isolated to an open and diverse environment. Within this context, enhancing the security of the future Smart Grid becomes a major priority. In this paper we introduce the use of data fusion for automated decision making in cyber-physical systems such as the Smart Grid. One of the most important applications of decision making is in the field of anomaly detection. This can enable the detection of attacks in cyber-physical systems without requiring a complete description of the physical process. The novelty of our approach is that is combines reports of various cyber and physical sensors, rather than focusing on either one single metric, or one singe realm, as was the case of similar techniques. Based on the proposed architecture we implement a new cyber-physical anomaly detection system. We show that data fusion is much more effective if it combines both cyber and physical realms, rather than focusing on the two realms separately.

This paper describes the financial benefits of consumers while applying different operating modes to their heat pump. In order to evaluate the different operating modes a single family house with heating system has been modeled and simulated with different operation strategies of the heating system and exposed to different electricity tariff schemes. Due to the detailed building model the comfort level resulting from the different operating modes has also been evaluated.

This work deals with the experimentally-based evaluation of the total magnetic induction field B generated by multiple sources in complex three-dimensional arrangements, carried out on the basis of the measurement of the field components in a Cartesian coordinate system, Bx, By and Bz. Such a goal is achieved by means of an innovative measurement and evaluation system, that is proposed, described and validated in the paper. The ultimate goal is verifying that magnetic induction intensity is within the prescribed limits.

The estimate and the subsequent monitoring of the energy production of a photovoltaic system is a difficult issue because of the many variables involved, such as weather conditions and construction parameters. The mathematical models usually used do not describe, in an optimal way, the actual behavior of the photovoltaic module as they do not consider all the possible variables involved. This approach leads to an estimation error, from which arises the need to improve the mathematical model used. Given the extreme difficulty in identifying and measuring variables other than solar radiation and ambient temperature, we proposed to optimize the mathematical model using the theory of adaptive neural networks. We aim to create a better estimation method that pursues the real behavior of the PV module based on experimental data. We used a SART (Supervised Adaptive Resonance Theory) neural network to correct the power estimates of the one diode model (ODM). For this purpose, we presented an Estimation Model (EM) for estimating and monitoring the maximum power output of a photovoltaic panel that can take into account the non-linear characteristics of the system. We implemented this system via Matlab and evaluated the performance on a significant sample of actual data for a specific type of PV module. The experimental results show that we can improve the estimation and that this method can then be also used in the monitoring process of the PV system in order to identify specific faults. Finally we proposed a scheme of a possible system for estimating and monitoring the output power of a PV module.

There are very often scenarios when an accurate overview of the entire grid at an extra-large (even global) scale is needed, in order to perform estimations and predictions regarding grid events. In such scenarios data consistency plays a crucial role together with measurement data transfer for achieving real-time control. In this paper we propose an overview of the main functionalities of a PMU with the goal of cost-effective implementation based on a regular consumer computer (mostly x86 platforms). The proposal aims at promoting extra-large scale deployment of PMU-like equipment, with minimum financial effort. A key feature is data consistency.

The steady increase of electricity consumption in the EU household sector during the last decades, has made energy efficiency within this scope to become a major issue both for European Commission and for utilities. As a result, several EU R&D projects are currently underway, dealing with different pieces of such challenging problem. Standing out among them is the EU FP7 project ENERsip, whose main objective is to design, develop, and validate an adaptive service-oriented ICT platform to enable energy efficiency within energy-positive neighborhoods by remotely monitoring, controlling, and coordinating power generation and consumption in response to dynamic conditions. This paper focuses on the methodology, procedures, metrics, and tools to comprehensively evaluate the main benefits, in terms of energy and cost savings, as well as the communications infrastructure performance of such platform.
