Electric distribution design and operational goals include meeting customer reliability requirements at the lowest cost. Smart Grid investments have the potential for helping meet these goals, and this paper presents a series of analyses that evaluate the incremental economic benefits of smart grid automation investments. Smart Grid investments provide a number of benefits to customers. Here only benefits that can be objectively quantified in terms of economic savings are considered. Smart Grid automation investments in this work include investments in feeder efficiency, automated switches, and coordinated control of capacitor banks, voltage regulators and load tab changers. Benefits that come from these investments are improved efficiency, reduced demand, shortened storm restoration time, and improved performance during reconfiguration events. The analyses used in the evaluation are very detailed, involving hourly, quasi-steady state power flow analysis over a ten year period for calculating energy consumption and costs, and Monte Carlo simulations for six different storm types. The evaluation shows that similar to other industries, an investment in automation can be justified in terms of hard dollars.

As a part of smart development, while technology of producing PV (photovoltaic) module develops, the requirements for testing and certification of PV modules become more complicated and essential. Solar energy promises a high potential for Turkey as well as producing solar related products such as solar cells, PV modules and inverters which will enable a smart urbanization through smart grids. Certification of these products brings customer satisfaction and high product quality. In this paper, the importance of solar PV module certification and the factory inspection process is emphasized which plays a key role in smart development of cities. Critical points of factory inspection process are noted and new type of procedures are suggested for certification bodies responsible for the certification processes.

The future smart grid is considered to be solution for common problems associated with current electricity grid. Smart grid will incorporate renewable energy sources, intelligent sensors and controls, automated switches, robust communication technology, etc. Implementation of such smart grid requires the collective efforts from researchers from many fields of engineering and creation of reliable test platforms. This paper presents the PV emulator as a test platform for research of problems associated with the design of controller for PV sources, the design of energy management system, generation capacity prediction, wireless network integration and protocol issues, security and cloud based data management and analysis for smart grid applications.

In smart grid, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system provides measuring, storing, analyzing, and utilizing energy consumption data. It enables a link between customers and electric power utilities. The AMI is also responsible for transmitting requests, commands, pricing-information and software updates from the authorized parties to the smart meters. As the AMI security threats from inside and outside grow exponentially; confidentiality, authentication, integrity and non-repudiation security services should be deployed to overcome possible threats. In this paper we give an overview on the main components and security requirements of the AMI and present possible security solutions. Then we propose an identity based security architecture, namely a signcryption scheme for smart metering infrastructure to provide necessary security services by taking advantage of identity based cryptography to ensure efficiency in addition to security through eliminating the cost for generation and managing certificates.
