The availability of electricity is fundamental to modern society. It is at the top of the list of critical infrastructures and its interruption can have severe consequences. This highly important system is now evolving to become more reliable, efficient, and clean. This evolving infrastructure has become known as the smart grid; and these future smart grid systems will rely heavily on ICT. This infrastructure will require many servers and due to the nature of the grid, many of these systems will be geographically diverse requiring communication links. At the heart of this ICT infrastructure will be security. At each level of the smart grid from smart metering right through to remote sensing and control networks, security will be a key factor for system design consideration. With an increased number of ICT systems in place the security risk also increases. In this paper the authors discuss the changing nature of security in relation to the smart grid by looking at the move from legacy systems to more modern smart grid systems. The potential planes of attack for future smart grid systems are identified, and the general anatomy of a cyber-attack is presented. The authors then introduce the various threat levels of different types of attack and the mitigation techniques that could be put in place for each. Finally, the authors' introduce a Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) communication system (operated by the authors) that can be used as a test-bed for some of the proposed future security research.

As take up of low carbon vehicles increase, there is interest in using the energy stored in the vehicles to help maintain system frequency through ancillary services on the electricity grid system. Research into this area is generally classed as vehicle-to-grid research. In theory, the energy available from electric vehicles could be directly correlated to the vehicle's state of charge (SoC) and battery capacity during the time the car is parked and plugged in. However, not all the energy in the vehicle may be used, as some capacity is required by the driver for their next journey. As such, this paper uses data captured as part of a large scale electric vehicle trial to investigate the effect of three different types of driver routine on vehicle-to-grid availability. Each driver's behaviour is analysed to assess the energy that is available for STOR, with follow on journey requirements also considered.

Safe operation of the electric power system relies on conventional power stations. In addition to providing electrical energy to the network, some power stations also provide a number of ancillary services for the grid stability. These services could potentially be provided by the growing number of electric vehicles - faster and with better precision, using Vehicle-to-Grid technology. This paper explores the implementation of a system that demonstrates the use of the electric vehicles for providing frequency regulation in the Danish power grid. The system is tested with the use case of Primary Frequency Regulation. The service is implemented following the technical conditions for ancillary services in the Danish grid. The real life system is developed using Web-centric communication technologies between the components. Communication and control functions of the system are validated through experiments. The response of the system is studied in terms of latency, precision and stability.

The effects of the distributed generation can be classified as environmental, technical and economical effects. It is playing a very vital role for improving the voltage profiles in electrical power systems. However, it could have some negative impacts such as operating conflicts for fault clearing and interference with relaying. Distribution system is the link between the utility system and the consumer. It is divided into three categories radial, Loop, and network. Distribution networks are the most commonly used to cover huge number of loads. The power system reliability mainly depends on the smooth operation and continuity of supply of the distribution network. However, this may not always be guaranteed especially with the introduction of distributed generation to the distribution network. This paper will examine the impact of hybrid renewable energy systems (using photovoltaic and doubly fed induction generators) on short circuit level of IEEE 13-bus distribution test system using ETAP software.

In power systems, load is continuously fluctuating and is difficult for slow generating units, such as coal-fired, nuclear and hydro power plants, to follow. Therefore, fast but expensive generation units like open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) are widely used to provide frequency regulation, maintaining system frequency within its specified limit. Owing to energy storage system (ESS)'s zero-net energy and fast response nature, one of the applications of ESS in power system is to provide frequency regulation. This paper proposes a method of sizing OCGTs and advanced lead-acid batteries to provide frequency regulation under different types of load following patterns. The rain-flow counting algorithm is used for battery lifetime modelling. The cost and savings from displacing OCGTs with ESS are calculated and discussed. It was concluded that the system load following ability is the key factor when considering whether ESS is cost effective when providing frequency regulation in a control area. The method of battery and OCGT rating presented in this paper is applicable to the situation when regulation load requirement is known or can be estimated.

As phase one of the CHIC (Clean hydrogen in European cities) project, eight Fuel Cell (FC) hybrid buses on route RV1 have been put in service in central London. One of the next steps is to assess and determine the viability of switching from conventional diesel-technology to fuel cell technology on other bus routes in London. This paper reports on a study where a laboratory sized FC hybrid system modelled on the London hydrogen bus (RV1) is used to explore potential opportunities. Specifically, this paper examines the performance and optimization of a FC hybrid propulsion solution having a smaller FC and various energy storage arrangements. The proposed design is a series hybrid system for the urban driving environment, with focus on transit buses. A Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) has been selected with a Super Capacitor (SC) as the energy storage technology. The hybrid propulsion system has also been simulated in PSCAD and the model validated using the laboratory sized system. Of particular focus is the control strategy of the hybrid propulsion system to optimise power delivery efficiency during operation and optimise hydrogen consumption. The paper concludes by examining how FC technology can be applied to transit buses with the model validated by experiment and evaluation of the viability of adapting the technology technically. This is a project that is being progressed and this paper will focus on simulation part of the project.

This paper presents an algorithm for state estimation in power systems that include FACTS devices and PMUs. The FACTS devices are equipments of special purpose capable of changing the natural behavior of transmission systems. They may be able to influence the voltage, the active power or the reactive power flows based on predefined targets so that the classical power flow and steady state calculations must be adapted. Furthermore, PMU measurements are increasing in number so that the accuracy in steady state calculations can be improved. A state estimation algorithm was developed by considering the behavior of TCSC and SVC devices, while including some improvements due to the integration of synchronized measurements. A Matlab application was developed and simulations were performed on various test networks. In this paper, results obtained on the IEEE 30 bus test system only will be presented.

This project is aiming to make the first steps in investigating and pushing the boundaries of real-time simulation. To that end it will focus on real-time representation of converter devices on different platforms, enabling the future coupling of prototyping controllers to power system simulation tools. The small time-step, high fidelity representation of the converter devices and the large time-step model of the grid will be carried out on RTDS Technologies, RTDS and perhaps expanding the attempt, on OPAL-RT Technologies, OPAL-RT Simulator in the future. The controller prototyping, including the converter switching strategy will be implemented on ADI's rtXand the use of other rapid controller prototyping systems will also be evaluated. This will effectively allow the exploration of the scalability and limits of such schemes. Namely, how many converters can be simulated on real-time simulation devices? How many controllers can be implemented on a prototyping platform using modern microprocessors?
