In this concept, the electric energy consumption is optimized by using an advanced automation system which needs more information about the power system elements from generation units to end-users and controls them in light of this information. Undoubtedly, receiving and transmitting of this information requires two-way, high speed, reliable and secure communication infrastructure. In this study, Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology and its usage in smart grid infrastructure are investigated. Additionally, the challenges for using 4G/LTE in smart grid applications are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":236483,"journal":{"name":"2015 3rd International Istanbul Smart Grid Congress and Fair (ICSG)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121845862","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}

After calculating parking demand and supply balance, the location-allocation techniques of network analysis were implemented to determine the best locations of parking, depending on parking demand. These processing tools were tested for an urban area. As a result, an innovative data processing method was developed to determine the best locations of car parking.","PeriodicalId":236483,"journal":{"name":"2015 3rd International Istanbul Smart Grid Congress and Fair (ICSG)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129262174","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 imbalance of the system circuits and loads has been taken into account. The developed method defines an optimal charging schedule for the EVs which considers the EVs arrival and departure times and their arrival state of charge; the energy contribution of EVs equipped with vehicle-to-grid technology and distributed generators are considered as well. The classical optimization techniques used to solve the MILP formulation guarantee the optimal solution of the problem. The model was written in the mathematical modeling language AMPL and solved using the commercial solver CPLEX. The presented formulation was tested in a 34-node distribution system and a comparison of the obtained charging schedule on scenarios with V2G and distributed generation was made.","PeriodicalId":236483,"journal":{"name":"2015 3rd International Istanbul Smart Grid Congress and Fair (ICSG)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114534397","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 order to monitor and control wind turbines, which are under different terrains and harsh conditions. All information and data, which is belong to wind turbine, must be gathered in one central unit. As a result of this situation, an economic system need arises.

However, conventional energy systems do not adequately benefit from opportunities of digital revolution, yet. Interdisciplinary works in the scope of smart grids grow our expectations from electricity grids such as increase of domestic renewable energy utilization, application of active load management in residences. One of challenging tasks for the digital era of energy systems is the transforming traditional static consumer concept to the active user concept, namely prosumers, who exhibit renewable energy generation potential and share own generation by the energy webs. A major problem for the implementation of practical energy webs is the management of energy balance in grid due to the fact that prosumers lead to the high uncertainty and volatility in generation and demand. Authors suggest that hierarchical tree topology as grid architecture can facilitate energy balance management and energy dispatching mechanisms for future energy webs. Because, acyclic structure and scalability of hierarchical tree (HT) topology present advantages of defining family relationships on the node hierarchy of grids. This property can improve accessibility and controllability of the smart grid and facilitates energy dispatches on the grid. This study gives a discussion on advantages of HT topology for smart grid applications and projects for some opportunities on the way of future energy webs.","PeriodicalId":236483,"journal":{"name":"2015 3rd International Istanbul Smart Grid Congress and Fair (ICSG)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126642140","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}
