This chapter sheds light on the communication challenges and requirements for SG and describes most suitable communication architecture and technologies including wired and wireless technologies. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) with the employment of smart meter and communication techniques is crucial to manage the SG. AMI is used for financial benefits, enhanced services, and opportunities for taking into account environmental concerns. The chapter summarizes the challenges and characteristics of communication needed for SG applications. SG communications have certain conditions from technical and economic standpoints, such as quality of services, scalability, flexibility, interoperability, and security. The communication infrastructure in SG should support its expected functionalities and meet its performance conditions. Wired and wireless communication technologies are usually implemented in the SG. Choosing a communication technology is predicated upon many aspects, for instance, users or devices, network architecture, data type, environmental conditions, and price.","PeriodicalId":194769,"journal":{"name":"Smart Grid and Enabling Technologies","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130133190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A SG is responsive to consumer, utility, and energy market needs by complete and dynamic implementation of systems and processes. Although utility‐customer relationships were one‐sided, utilities usually allocated most of their resources to energy generation, distribution, and ratemaking. The challenge of accomplishing more customer motivation with SG technology is among behavioral changes. The chapter explains challenges for SG customer engagement and policy recommendations. The main challenges entail privacy issues, radio frequency safety, and potential rate rises. Consumer engagement within the electric power industry is an evolving, ongoing process that is just on the beginning to emerge.","PeriodicalId":194769,"journal":{"name":"Smart Grid and Enabling Technologies","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132905697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter presents a detailed review on different energy storage technologies, their current and future status, their share in different smart grid (SG) applications, and their technical and financial benefits as enabling technology for the deployment of the future SG. ESS technologies can provide multiple services at each stage of the electricity supply chain, in addition to, mitigating the intermittency of integrating renewables and their power quality problems and enabling different SG applications. Different energy storage technologies are at various maturity levels and are deployed in changing amounts. The chapter discusses the key performance parameters for evaluating energy storage technologies. Energy storage can provide the following grid‐services: power quality services, transient stability services, regulation services, spinning reserve services, voltage control services, firm capacity services, and congestion relief services.","PeriodicalId":194769,"journal":{"name":"Smart Grid and Enabling Technologies","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115405926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most countries and industrial organizations have understood the crucial role of SG standards and they have taken big steps to develop these standards. Several national and international organizations created working groups to develop SG standards worldwide. The chapter introduces some of the important organizations for SG standardization. The main purpose of the US government's energy policy is to provide energy supply at low cost and to protect the environment while doing so. German SG roadmap focuses on the development of SGs information and communication technologies infrastructure, taking national and international standards into account. Important aspect of the SG is cyber security since the communication medium is a crucial layer in the SG and this layer is vulnerable to cyber‐attacks.","PeriodicalId":194769,"journal":{"name":"Smart Grid and Enabling Technologies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130915350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The business model concept is based on two theories of management: the resource‐based view and transaction cost economics. The traditional electricity value chain has within it the generation, transmission, distribution, retail and consumption guide from energy source to end use. Electricity markets possess retail and wholesale components. Advancing a new business model (BM) needs a deep comprehension of basic consumer needs, why competitors did not manage to meet those needs, as well as the technological and organizational trajectories. The chapter presents a review of different business models which have previously been proposed for the SG. Blockchain technology improves the market role of customers and producers. Blockchain addresses complex issues for the future digital energy system.","PeriodicalId":194769,"journal":{"name":"Smart Grid and Enabling Technologies","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131654991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
