Future smart cities are expected to be very large and complex ecosystems, where interactions among the various involved entities may lead to emergent behaviours (system of systems characteristic). Managing better the energy footprint is one of those challenging goals, and the smartgrid may provide a key tool in achieving that. We expect that smart city neighbourhoods will be more autonomous and able to manage more efficiently and dynamically their energy by taking into consideration local resources, prosumption and needs of their stakeholders. Additionally they will be able to interact with each-other and enable the smart city to dynamically take advantage of its optimal resource usage. We explore here directions that we follow in order to realize this view with the help of the smartgrid infrastructure, prosumer interactions, enterprise energy services and neighbourhood energy marketplaces.

This paper deals with advanced control strategies for the Hybrid HVAC-HVDC interconnection of large power systems. The simulations use of a simplified model of the European ENTSO-E and the Russian IPS/UPS systems developed within the scope of the ICOEUR project (Intelligent Coordination of Operation and Emergency Control of EU and Russian Power Grids). The plausibility of ENTSO-E - IPS/UPS interconnection using a hybrid HVAC-HVDC interface is discussed and the benefits of a newly developed control algorithm for advanced control of hybrid interface are presented. The simulation results demonstrate that the centralized control of the power flows on HVDC lines allows the performance and the security of the hybrid interconnections and the interconnected power systems to be greatly enhanced.

The ongoing integration of renewable energy sources is likely to increase the fluctuations in the ratio of produced and consumed power. Several types of Demand Response (DR) programs have been proposed to deal with the increasing volatility of power production and consumption. Many of these, such as Real Time Pricing (RTP), require intensive monitoring of the consumers' power consumption. This is one of the reasons why smart meters are currently being deployed by many utilities. Smart meters offer a two-way communication channel between the consumer and the utility, thus extending the power grid by a complex, large scale communication infrastructure. With the growing deployment of smart meters, power utilities face the problem of processing and storing the incoming data to support latency-sensitive applications such as Real-Time Pricing. In this paper we present a set of requirements for a utility-side IT infrastructure to process incoming smart meter data streams. We propose the use of Infrastructure-as-a-Service clouds and frameworks for parallel stream processing in clouds to address these requirements. Based on the Nephele cloud computing framework we demonstrate the practicality of this approach based on experiments with one million simulated smart meters and a prototypical Real-Time Pricing application deployed in our own private cloud.

This paper presents an interdisciplinary sociotechnical methodology for quantifying the value of demand side participation (DSP) in deferring network reinforcement. The methodology forecasts how many years load growth a section of network can accommodate before components exceed their standard rating. The approach identifies components within the network which are thermally vulnerable and uses power flow sensitivity factors to assess the value of applying real power reductions, through demand side participation, at different substations to relieve thermally constrained components. The third stage of the methodology socially characterises the load points. This is achieved by using socio-demographic data to map out the number and type of customers connected to each load point. This information is used to gauge the potential social acceptance of demand side participation schemes for different types of consumer. The final stage combines the power flow sensitivity factors, calculated in stage 2, with the social findings, calculated in stage 3, to calculate the optimum socio-technical solution. The methodology is illustrated by a case study that uses an existing rural distribution network in northern England.

A protection relay for a wind turbine generator (WTG) based on the fault-generated symmetrical components is proposed in the paper. At stage 1, the relay uses the magnitude of the positive-sequence component in the fault current to distinguish faults on a parallel WTG, connected to the same feeder, or on an adjacent feeder from those on the connected feeder, on the collection bus, at an inter-tie or at a grid. For the former faults, the relay should remain stable and inoperative whilst the instantaneous or delayed tripping is required for the latter faults. At stage 2, the fault type is first evaluated using the relationships of the fault-generated symmetrical components. Then, the magnitude of the positive-sequence component in the fault current is used again to decide on either instantaneous or delayed operation. The operating performance of the relay is then verified using various fault scenarios modelled using EMTP-RV. The scenarios involve changes in the position and type of fault, and the faulted phases. Results confirm that the relay can successfully distinguish between faults that require an instantaneous, delayed or non-operation response.

Developments over the past decade in wireless and sensor technology have resulted in the growth of new applications for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). One of the most popular areas for WSNs is the Built Environment Network (BEN), which comprises a wide variety of applications such as energy monitoring/smart homes, surveillance and healthcare applications. Such WSNs normally consist of a large number of devices with sensing, communications, and limited processing capabilities. These devices are very power constrained, as they typically depend on a small battery. Developments in recent years have led to an improvement in the energy efficiency of both hardware and software, which has resulted in increased lifetime of wireless sensors, but with limited battery capacity and size, real world lifetime is typically limited to 5 – 10 years. This paper presents a simple low cost, light energy harvester, that can easily be implemented with existing wireless sensor technology, to dramatically increase lifetime and remove the need for batteries. A WSN with nodes powered only by the presented harvester is deployed in an office, and results show that it can fully function in an environment where light is available for only 23.8% of the time.

Due to the increasing penetration of wind generation, the uncertainty of generation required to maintain system balancing has been growing significantly. To deal with such uncertainty, Transmission System Operators require more look-ahead and forecasting capabilities beyond real-time. In this paper a new dispatch system to address the challenges posed by wind energy integration. With advanced demand forecast, wind power forecast, dynamic and robust dispatch algorithm and flexible system configuration, the proposed system will provide adequate system ramping capability to cope with uncertain intermittent resources while maintaining system reliability in large grid operations.

The purpose of this paper is to find an innovative, high efficiency, practical and low cost control system structure with an optimized control strategy for small-scale grid-connected wind turbine with direct-driven permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). This research adopts the sensorless vector control strategy based on phase-locked loop (PLL) for PMSG control, and the grid-side inverter control strategy is based on the single-phase PLL. The simulation demonstrates that the sensorless control strategy and single-phase grid-side inverter control strategy are practical solutions for grid-connected PMSG wind turbines, and they can provide both generator speed control for optimized wind power tracking and good power quality control for electricity delivered to the grid. The designed system offers many unique advantages, including simple topology, optimized control strategy, cost-effective and fast respond to grid failures.

The laboratory environment consists of utility control centre systems, aggregator software, a home energy management system, and interfaces between the systems. Two applications called frequency dependent load shedding and monitoring of reserves are demonstrated and analyzed in the paper. The results show that the developed demonstration environment is suitable for concept testing of different smart grid applications.

Electrical energy networks are increasingly making use of Information Technology to enhance the way in which the electricity delivery infrastructure operates. A ‘Smart Grid’ can be understood as an electrical network which uses applications that are somehow dependent on the exchange of information to enhance its operation. This paper evaluates telecommunications delivery technologies that are appropriate to current power system messaging standards with an emphasis on Internet Protocol. Telecoms delivery technologies are reviewed according to their technical performance, namely throughput and latency, using practical experimental data. One of the technologies, WiMAX, is found to be potentially suitable for use in real-time protection schemes.
