Evaluation of Utility Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) and Prot...Power System Operation
Practical and cost-effective communications solutions are needed to enable control of the growing number of integrated distributed energy resources (DERs) and grid-edge local aggregator devices such as home energy management systems. Each year, the total installed photovoltaic (PV) system capacity increases by an estimated 5 GW, over half of which is interconnected to the distribution system.1 PV’s increasing penetration—already accounting for the bulk of DER capacity—underscores the need to enable and manage its continued integration on the distribution system.2 Much previous work has shown that advanced distribution management systems (ADMS), which are effectively integration platforms for various grid control and visibility applications, can help enable the integration of higher levels of PV while also improving the overall performance and efficiency of the distribution circuit. Greater connectivity and controllability of utility- and customer-owned equipment increases the level of DER integration and overall circuit performance.3 The required performance of the enabling communications system, however, has been less thoroughly studied and is often greatly oversimplified in ADMS performance analysis. The availability of new technologies such as distributed sensors, two-way secure communications, advanced software for data management, and intelligent and autonomous controllers is driving the identification of communications standards and general requirements,4 but the link between the communications system and the expected performance of a utility-implemented control system such as an ADMS or other communications-reliant protective function requires further investigation.

It then covers the basics of electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetic induction. Several methods for wireless transmission of electrical power are described, including induction, electromagnetic transmission, evanescent wave coupling, and electrodynamic induction. The document focuses on resonant magnetic coupling technology, such as that developed by WiTricity. It provides an overview of wireless charging systems and components. Safety considerations, advantages, disadvantages, and future applications are also examined.
This document summarizes a literature review on dynamic stability models of microgrids. It discusses how microgrids can integrate distributed energy resources like solar and wind power. It presents mathematical models of the components in a microgrid, including asynchronous and synchronous generators, voltage source converters, and the electrical network. It describes how to develop a small-signal state space model of a multiple distributed generator microgrid system. The document analyzes the dynamic stability of microgrids by examining how the eigenvalues change with operating conditions and system parameters. It provides an example of a current operational microgrid in Spain and discusses benefits and future applications of microgrid technologies.
Distributed generation takes advantage of small-scale power generation located near end users to provide electricity with benefits over traditional large-scale power plants. These include increased reliability as failures have localized impact, flexibility to adopt new technologies more easily, and reduced transmission losses. However, issues can include difficulty with load following due to variable renewable sources, potential voltage and stability problems integrating with the grid, and higher capital costs compared to large plants. Careful planning is needed to address power quality impacts on frequency and voltage from large amounts of distributed generation as well as connection challenges like bidirectional power flows, protection schemes, reactive power support, and power conditioning.
The document discusses a hybrid microgrid solution from Schneider Electric that can optimize efficiency, improve sustainability, and ensure reliability for customers.

Schneider Electric can provide the full turnkey solution including power generation, conversion, distribution and engineering services.
The document discusses MAID 2.0 storage systems which can intelligently adjust power usage through multiple power saving modes to balance energy savings and performance needs. It compares the energy usage and costs of various storage systems including those that support MAID 2.0. Systems like the Nexsan SATABeast with AutoMAID provide significant energy savings of up to 81% over other solutions while maintaining high performance levels important for secondary storage applications. Tape storage remains suitable for applications that prioritize the lowest energy usage over performance.
This document is the first Smart Grid System Report to Congress mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. It summarizes the key findings of the report, which assess the status of smart grid deployments nationwide and any barriers. The report finds that while distributed energy resources and advanced metering infrastructure are growing, penetration remains low. It also finds that modernizing the electricity infrastructure is progressing, but understanding the business cases and policies is still emerging. Overall, the smart grid represents a significant technological and cultural change for the electric system.
Incorporating Solar Home Systems (SHS) for smart grid applicationsBrhamesh Alipuria
This document discusses four possible scenarios for incorporating household solar PV systems into the power grid. Case 1 involves a utility grid connected to loads and private battery storage, with no power fed back to the grid. Case 2 has no battery storage, so any excess power is fed back to the grid. Case 3 uses communal battery storage at the grid level. Excess power is fed back to the grid. Case 4 adds a DC network connecting communal storage to homes, so excess power is stored rather than fed back via AC. Each case is evaluated based on technology, complexity, efficiency and flexibility. An effective system can be chosen based on requirements.

Moxa Tech White Paper - Choosing An Embedded Operating SystemDigital River
Linux is recommended as the embedded operating system choice over customized or proprietary OSes and Windows CE. Linux has several advantages including strong performance, especially for networking applications. As an open source OS, Linux allows developers to access source code to resolve problems themselves or with online communities. Linux also has lower costs than Windows CE and allows applications to run on any hardware or version of Linux.
A Primer on Obtaining IEC 61850-3 Certification for Embedded ComputersDigital River
The document discusses IEC 61850-3 certification requirements for embedded computers used in substations. It outlines the key requirements including strong EMC protection against electromagnetic interference, operating in wide temperatures from -40 to 75 degrees Celsius, and withstanding anti-vibration and anti-shock. Moxa's DA-681-IDPP-T embedded computer was the first to receive IEC 61850-3 certification by addressing these requirements through its heat dissipation design, intelligent heating system, and protective components. Obtaining certification requires products to demonstrate reliable operation under the stringent IEC 61850-3 standard.
The document discusses the evolution of industrial PCs (IPCs) and introduces Moxa's Universal Communicator series as the next step. IPCs were initially modified PCs but had limitations for industrial use. The Universal Communicator addresses these by having no fan, dustproof enclosure, low power RISC processor, multiple communication ports, flash storage, and small size. It is well-suited for industrial control applications requiring robust computers that can operate continuously in harsh environments.
Moxa white paper---Using Sample Code to Develop Embedded ApplicationsDigital River
Moxa manufactures networking solutions for industrial applications. The document discusses how using sample code can help software developers create embedded applications faster and with fewer bugs by building on existing code and experience. It provides examples of sample code for serial port programming and setting special baud rates. The document emphasizes that sample code can reduce development costs and difficulties, especially for socket programming and watchdog functions for embedded systems.
The document discusses intelligent management of electrical systems in industries. It describes applications for supporting distribution network management in industrial plants. These include real-time network monitoring, state estimation, optimization, planning and simulation of operations, and management of disturbances. Key functions are load modeling, reliability management, power quality analysis, voltage dip analysis, and condition monitoring. Advanced distribution automation and a distribution system of the future with ADA are also discussed.
The document describes the development of a Wireless Automatic Meter Reading System (WAMRS) in Oman. Key aspects include:
1) WAMRS allows for non-intrusive and wireless collection of electricity consumption data from customer premises via a premises unit that transmits to central points and a billing office server.
2) The premises unit utilizes a digital meter, microcontroller, wireless transmitter chip, and memory to periodically transmit consumption data.
3) Central points receive data from premises units and retransmit over longer distances to the billing office server and database.
4) The system authenticates devices and transmissions using a three-way handshake protocol and random number table for security.
The growing trend for protection and control and substation automation is the digital substation. This is generally understood to mean fully implementing process bus. While adopting process bus provides great value, it is only a stepping stone. The long-term goal must be to move away from the current single-purpose, hardware-based protection and automation systems and replace them with a software-defined control system running virtual services: a digitally enabled substation.
A digitally enabled substation is necessary to enable substation systems to adapt to the new realities of changing distributed energy resources impacting feeder power flow, voltage, and protection functions, and the changing operating requirements brought on by widely distributed, inverter-based resources. Wind, solar, battery storage, and EVs maybe be connected anywhere to the grid, and by different owners often concentrated in areas negatively impacting the traditional grid. Operators and control functions must plan for and adapt quickly to changes in available resources and load flows. Utilities, systems owners and a host of new DER stakeholders will need to be able to roll out new applications and access an increasing amount of grid data to optimize their investments. Old schemes will need to be adapted quickly and reliably throughout the entire system.

White paper tower power, inc. energy management, iot, Volkmar Kunerth
This white paper explores using blockchain technology and an IoT infrastructure to optimize energy management at dispersed hybrid energy plants, such as cellular towers. It proposes an architecture using IoT sensors to collect data from energy systems at each site, which is sent to a local energy management controller. The controller aggregates sensor data and controls energy devices. It then sends log data to a cloud-based remote management system (RMS) software application for energy optimization and reporting across sites. This distributed system is aimed at significantly reducing operating costs for tower operators through improved energy efficiency and asset management.
How the Convergence of IT and OT Enables Smart Grid DevelopmentSchneider Electric
The goal for any utility that invests in smart grid technology is to attain higher efficiency and reliable performance.
A smart grid platform implies the convergence of Operations Technology (OT) – the grid physical infrastructure assets and applications–and Information Technology (IT) – the human interface that enables rapid and informed decision making.
This paper describes best practices for migrating to a scalable, adaptable, smart grid network.

The Abstracted Network for Industrial InternetMeshDynamics
Widespread adoption of TCI/IP protocols over the last two decades appears on the surface to have created a lingua franca for computer networking. And with the emergence of IPv6 removing the addressing restrictions of earlier versions, it would appear that now every device in the world may easily be connected with a common protocol.
But three emerging factors are requiring a fresh look at this worldview. The first is the coming wave of sensors, actuators, and devices making up the Internet of Things (IOT). Although not yet widely recognized, it is beginning to be understood that a majority of these devices will be too small, too cheap, too dumb, and too copious to run the hegemonic IPv6 protocol. Instead, much simpler protocols will predominate (see below), which must somehow be incorporated into the IP networks of Enterprises and the Internet.
At the other end of the scale from these tiny devices are huge Enterprise networks, increasing movingly to the cloud for computing and communication resources. An important requirement of these Enterprises is the capacity to manage, control, and tune their networks using a variety of Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies and protocols. These depend on computing resource at the edges of the network to manage the interactions.
The third element is a conundrum presented by the first two: Enterprises will be struggling with the need to bring vast numbers of simple IOT devices into their networks. Though many of these devices will lack computing and protocol smarts, the requirement will still remain to manage everything via SDN. Along with this, many legacy Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks (such as those on the factory floor) present the same challenges as the IOT: simple and/or proprietary protocols operating in operational silos today that Enterprises desire to manage and tune with SDN techniques.
Smart Grid technicalDraw neat diagram for equivalent circuit of transformer.pravingauda84
The document provides an overview of smart grids, including:
1) Smart grids use digital technology and communication to make the electric grid more efficient, reliable, and able to integrate renewable energy sources.
2) Key components of a smart grid include smart meters, sensors, communication networks, and data management systems to provide two-way communication between utilities and consumers.
3) Potential benefits of smart grids include reduced costs, fewer power outages, lower emissions, and giving consumers more control over their energy usage.
City governments face challenges in planning smart city infrastructure as urban populations are expected to increase dramatically. Communications networks are crucial as they underpin all smart city systems. Municipalities must consider three key network issues: 1) Implementing robust wireless and fiber optic backhaul networks to connect sensors and devices throughout the city. 2) Using hardened network equipment that can withstand harsh outdoor conditions. 3) Leveraging Power-over-Ethernet technologies to simplify power delivery to network endpoints and reduce infrastructure costs and complexity.
DESIGN OF INTELLIGENT DEVICE TO SAVE STANDBY POWER IN NETWORK ENABLED DEVICESIAEME Publication
This document proposes an Automatic Power Cut-Off and Reset Device (APCRD) to reduce standby power consumption in network-enabled devices. The APCRD would automatically cut power to appliances when they enter standby mode, completely eliminating standby power use. The document analyzes current and projected network device electricity consumption and savings potential from various efficiency approaches. It finds that the APCRD could achieve the highest energy, economic, and emissions savings compared to the Eco Design Directive or best available technologies by fully eliminating standby power in eligible devices.

IRJET- Design and Implementation of Smart City using IoTIRJET Journal
This document proposes a design and implementation of a smart city using IoT technologies. It identifies problems with current infrastructure such as high energy usage and crime, and proposes solutions like intelligent street lights that adjust brightness based on time and traffic, and emergency call systems on light poles. Other solutions proposed include low-power beacons to push advertisements and notifications to nearby phones, remote control of devices through apps and websites, and using sensors to track packages and control building temperatures. The implementation would use technologies like ESP8266 and Bluetooth modules to connect devices via WiFi and Bluetooth, reducing power consumption. This smart city concept aims to conserve energy resources and improve living conditions.
Vision and Strategy for India’s Electricity Metering Infrastructure of the fu...IJERA Editor
In the country like India with over millions of kilometers of transmission lines and billions of consumers, task of
collecting information related to energy consumption of every consumer is a critical job. The meter reader has to
travel a long distance and take reading manually to collect the data. This reading is then feed in a central
database. Then the bill gets generated later with help of software. This project intends to reduce this tedious
work by automating the process of collecting data from consumer’s electricity meter. This would be done by

Demand Side management of smart grid using IoTIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a demand side management system for smart grids using IoT technology. The system aims to monitor and control household appliance power consumption to manage demand below a threshold. It uses an energy sensor to measure voltage, current and power for each user. Total power consumption is calculated and compared to a decision value limit. If power exceeds the limit, loads will be curtailed to meet the limit. Readings are sent to a cloud-based web server for remote monitoring and control. The system provides an affordable and user-friendly way to implement demand side management for smart grids using IoT.
The document discusses smart grids and their components. Some key points:
- A smart grid uses information and communications technologies to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics and sustainability of electricity production and distribution.
- It consists of applying digital processing and communications to the power grid, making data flow and information central.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
