Wind energy is one of the renewable energy options recently being developed significantly throughout the world in order to achieve low-emission targets, and it keeps extending its penetration in electric power generation. However, there are important issues emerging in the integration of wind power resulting from its intermittent and uncertain nature. An accurate wind power generation forecasting tool is necessary for planning efficient operation of power systems and to ensure reliability of supply. In this paper, a multi-layered feed-forward artificial neural network optimized by the genetic algorithm and trained by the back propagation (BP) learning algorithm has been used to develop a model for prediction of wind power generation. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, it is tested based on practical information of wind power generation profile of the 2.5 MW wind turbine installed at a case study microgrid in Beijing. The proposed model is compared with BP neural network based model. Evaluation of forecasting performance is made with the persistence forecasting method as a reference model. Comparison of the results with actual scenario demonstrated that the proposed approach is accurate and reliable.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128203178","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}

In our setting, electricity is mainly supplied from the utility grid to a pre-set power limit. However, once the load demand exceeds the pre-set power limit, photovoltaic modules and BESS can both be used to effectively limit the active power drawn from the utility grid. The sizing strategy aims to minimize investment on BESS and take advantages of the available PV modules to limit the campus peak load to a minimum billing demand. The main objective of the proposed method is to find the optimal size of the BESS that maximizes the annual benefits of the university campus when the BESS and PV modules are used for peak load shaving. A cost benefit analysis is implemented and which considers also factors influencing the BESS such as battery conversion losses. The approach is validated by case studies where the optimal battery system is sized for Quebec pricing scheme.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123334053","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}

Since the decentralization of power grids causes the unreliability of power supply, it is crucial to switch to a production-oriented consumption in order to provide the stability of a grid. Power flows in a grid are distributed according to Kirchhoff's laws and use multiple parallel lines in circuitous routes. Once the profile of energy injections and withdrawals is fixed, the values of load current flows can be defined over the network. Generally, it is not possible to directly determine the accordance between the energy contracts and the loop flows that contribute to the total congestion in network links. In this work, we describe a multi-supplier power grid model. Then we formulate a nonlinear minimization problem which solution gives a flow distribution fulfilling Kirchhoff's laws. Finally, we introduce a cost-sharing technique for finding individual transmission costs.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115735312","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}

With the SER for smart grid cooperative communications, the relay is used only when the faded signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the direct transmission from the sensor or meter node to the meter data management center falls below a preset threshold. In the paper, the average transmission power of the cooperative communication with the modified SER is evaluated, and the optimal switch threshold is derived. In addition, optimal allocation of transmission powers for direct transmission and dual-hop relaying channels is considered. For the AMI system, numerical results of the optimal switch threshold and the minimum average transmission power are illustrated for the cooperation communication, where the relation between the optimal switch threshold and the minimum average transmission power is illustrated and different cases of fading parameters of wireless channels are studied.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123289450","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}

Thus, the high volume of traffic generated in Neighbourhood Area Networks (NANs) is causing delay due to link congestion. In order to minimize this, Wide Area Networks (WANs) combined with an efficient routing strategy is a possible solution. In this paper, a topological design model that adapts to the faster routes is proposed for achieving minimum end-to-end delay. Routers are modelled as G/G/bl queueing systems with First Input First Out (FIFO) discipline. A Dynamic Fastest Routing Strategy (DFRS) for such a network with n number of nodes and m number of links that enables the packets to choose the best routes from source to destination is presented. It takes into account the level of clogging over each link, based on: i) the average threshold time of transmitting a packet over a link, ii) the Quality of Service (QoS) expected from the WAN, and iii) the performance of forwarding packets over sprightly routes. Expressions for mean packet delay (including waiting, transmission, and propagation time) are derived as a function of maximum number of packets, traffic intensity, death rate, capacity, number of channels, and the latency of the link. The simulation results are compared with theoretical expressions and wire-line networks that employ classical G/G/1 queueing system for an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing scheme. It is noted that the proposed model is simple to implement and minimizes the average packet delay in WANs, and meets smart-grid standards.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117098501","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}

In the smart grid, electricity usage data are collected in near real time, exposing users to attacks that reveal their habits, location, and preferences. Other research in this area has demonstrated the possibility of using pseudonyms to decouple low-frequency billing data from high-frequency grid maintenance data. Such schemes must provide a way to authenticate the pseudonym as belonging to a real customer, to defend against the submission of false data. However, this authentication process exposes the system to timing attacks that can correlate the authentication of a particular customer with the appearance of a new pseudonym on the network. These timing attacks have been addressed informally in the literature with techniques such as adding a random delay to transmission. The anonymity thus provided is not quantified or guaranteed, and can be subverted with active attacks via the service provider. This paper introduces a method for defeating timing attacks based on the theory of mix networks. The use of a mix formalizes a method of randomizing the order in which authentication attempts are serviced. The mix design is described in detail and it is shown that this method is more resistant to attack and allows for an explicit tradeoff between anonymity and delay.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130764690","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}

Second, smart meter data which was recorded over a period of three years for one commercial company is analyzed. The recorded data displays the time dependent energy flow of energy producers (photovoltaic systems, combined heat and power systems), energy consumers (base load of the company, different household consumers) and energy used to charge a battery electric vehicle. The goal is to evaluate the potential of a technically and economically rewarding integration of battery electric vehicles in commercial companies. The energy used to charge the electric vehicles will be evaluated to define the degree of integration into the total energy structure. It will be compared to the total energy within the system to determine the potential of enhancing profitability while charging.

Hence, a coordination must be achieved between these two entities to comply with their individual constraints and objectives. With the integration of highly distributed and variable renewable energy, achieving this coordination becomes an even more important task. In this paper, an optimization-based generic model is presented for evaluating DR in the presence of solar photovoltaic (PV) and flexible loads. The integrated optimal pricing methodology is obtained from the developed framework, which takes into account operational conditions of the distribution grid and flexible loads. The economic and operational efficiency of the DR strategy is evaluated in the presence of (1) various pricing structures and (2) available network topologies.
