The work in this paper proposes an optimized two-user pairing scheme where simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is adopted with cooperative hybrid-NOMA (H-NOMA) in terahertz (THz) considering SIC imperfection. The aim is to improve the overall performance of wireless THz communication networks including wireless connectivity, resource management, scalability, and user fairness. Hence, thorough studies for a number of SWIPT-NOMA schemes were presented alongside a selection of the best H-NOMA pairing strategy for the served users. We investigated system performance according to SIC manipulation to develop a proper SWIPT-based simplified system. The results showed a remarkable improvement in energy efficiency and spectral efficiency compared to conventional work (NOMA and OMA time division multiple access (TDMA)) by 75%. This promising proposal has a positive impact on reducing system hardware, complexity, and cost while improving signal detection, diversity, and reliability, without the need for complicated techniques such as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO).","PeriodicalId":441321,"journal":{"name":"2022 4th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference (GPECOM)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123096942","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}

Extended state observer (ESO) based active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) presents a simple and robust control solution which is almost model free and has few tuning parameters. However, conventional ESO suffers from noise over-amplification in the obtained estimates due to high-gain construction which in turn degrades the noise sensitivity of the closed-loop system and limits the achievable dynamic performance in practical scenarios. To overcome this problem, two recent techniques namely cascade ESO (CESO) and low-power higher-order ESO (LHESO) are implemented for control of PWR. Simulation analysis conducted in MATLAB illustrates the performance improvement obtained over conventional ESO based ADRC. Extensive simulation analysis is also conducted to investigate robustness towards parametric uncertainties.","PeriodicalId":441321,"journal":{"name":"2022 4th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference (GPECOM)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123427874","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 paper proposes a V2G/G2V model which consists of a bi-directional grid connected converter, off-board chargers, EV batteries, and filters utilising standard DC charging for effective power sharing, control, and regulation. The control of the chargers decides the priority of the source based on the set threshold level and subsequently integrates with the circuit.

Smart EV chargers with several functionalities and charging coordination solutions that can manage the charging sessions of hundreds of EVs are becoming common, with the increasing risk of triggering significant operational problems in case of cyberattacks. The information exchange between the charging coordinator, distribution network operator, and users is essential in the scheduling of a large number of charging sessions, relying on customer preferences, without violating operational grid constraints. Both the user mobile apps used for charging session reservations and DSO-charging coordinator interfaces are vulnerable to cyberattacks which may cause considerable technical and economic consequences. An important concern is the potential impacts of attacks when a single node or communication link is compromised. This study investigates the impacts of false data injection (FDI) and hijacking attacks on EV charging coordination in case of a single point of failure. Hijacking of one user’s mobile app and FDI attack on the DSO-charging coordinator interface are investigated by simulating a 24-hour scenario with 12 chargers, 34 realistic charging sessions, and an EV charging coordination approach based on each session’s tolerance to delays. The study highlighted considerable negative impacts that could be encountered in case of a single point of failure in EV charging coordination.","PeriodicalId":441321,"journal":{"name":"2022 4th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference (GPECOM)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126768010","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 security analysis carried out shows that this protocol provides message confidentiality, unlinkability, and traceability for malicious network entities. It is also resilient against side-channel and forgery attacks. In terms of efficiency, limited numbers of elliptic curve multiplication and one way-hashing operations are executed during mutual authentication, message signing and verification.

As a requirement of e-mobility, EVs should be rechargeable anywhere and in any situation, and this will increase EV-based electrification. The effects of EV charging stations on the grid are very important in the increasing electricity demand level and the installation of EV charging stations on distribution transformers (DTs) should be balanced and should not have negative effects on the transformer. This paper aims to determine the number of EV charging stations to be loaded on distribution transformers in an optimized and safe manner. The data of 8361 distribution transformers in the Central Anatolian Region were collected and analyzed. Data verification was completed with data cleansing methods and an effective EV charging station installation modeling was developed. By modeling with three different risk levels, it is possible to determine which distribution transformer will be installed from four different EV charging socket types. The general situation of DTs in the region was determined with the pilot region application. Basic data can be revealed by modeling which region can be improved for the EV infrastructure going forward.","PeriodicalId":441321,"journal":{"name":"2022 4th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference (GPECOM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134316110","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}
