There is no one set definition for the phrase "ad hoc networks". The term refers to the ability for members of a network to establish a network connection between devices. Ad hoc networks are relevant both in technical terms of certain network infrastructures, as well as in terms of the social,...

Traditional electrical grid as the largest and most complex industry in the world is currently under fundamental development. According to the IEEE Std1547.4, large distribution systems can be clustered into a number of micro-grids (MGs) to facilitate the control and operation infrastructure in...

This article presents a non-conventional design approach of high order passive filters incorporated with distributed energy grid integration systems based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) as one of multi-objective evolutionary search algorithms. Two topologies of passive grid filters (third...

Grid integration remains one of the key challenges related to the worldwide expansion of distributed renewable energy systems. This paper presents innovative measures for increasing the hosting capacity of distribution grids with a focus on the medium-voltage grid, based on representative...

The renewable energy based smart grid present a stable power supply system with low carbon emissions. The adaptability of work in smart grid-related approaches allows microgrids to load reliably. This research proposes a self-healing method with a large smart grid in different purpose. The...

La infraestructura de interconexión y distribución de contenidos en Internet en América Latina se ha desarrollado significativamente en los últimos años. Si bien se constatan las mismas heterogeneidades que cuando analizamos cualquier indicador social o económico, en términos generales,...

Security and its subcategory authentication are among the important subjects of cloud computing. In this system, user authentication mechanisms are carried out before providing access to resources. It is noteworthy that this input gate is actually the pathway of many attacks. Therefore,...

Our Indian power sector is transforming from old conventional system to sustainable and energy efficient smart system. New and smart projects require huge capital expenditure over a period of time. Consequently, the regulators must ensure that risk is to be least for investors and rational...

This technical guide is the first in a series of four technical guides on variable renewable energy (VRE) grid integration produced by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) of the World Bank and the Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership (GSEP). It provides a general...

The digitization of power system represents one of the main instruments to achieve the target set by the European Union 2030 climate and energy Agenda of affordable energy transition. During the last years, such innovation process has been associated with the Smart Grid (SG) term. In this...

The emergence of the cloud is heightening the demands on the network in terms of bandwidth, ubiquity, reliability, latency, and route control. Unfortunately, the current architecture was not designed to offer full support for all of these services or to permit money to flow through it. Instead...

Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging research field that is rapidly becoming an important part of our everyday lives including home automation, smart buildings, smart things, and more. This is due to cheap, efficient, and wirelessly-enabled circuit boards that are enabling the functions of...

In recent years, the surge of blockchain technology has been rising due to is proven reliability in ensuring secure and effective transactions, even between untrusted parties. Its application is broad and covers public and private domains varying from traditional communication networks to more...

Distributed photo-voltaic (PV) generation is one of the pillars of energy transitions around the world, but its deployment in the distribution grid requires costly reinforcements and expansions. Prosumage - consisting of a household-level PV unit coupled with a battery storage system - has been...

The increasing deployment of decentralised rooftop photovoltaic systems (PV systems) and the expected future diffusion of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can have a major influence on the need to expand low-voltage networks in the near future. The associated grid investments are refinanced via...

Against the background of the energy transition accompanied by a rising penetration of renewable energy (REN) sources and a stepwise phase out of conventional power plants in order to fulfill climate protection targets, the requirements for a reliable transmission grid infrastructure increased...

Smart cities depend on smart grid for resilient energy delivery and improved energy efficiencies. This paper employs the real option approach (ROA) to study the investment decision of information technology innovation in the case of smart grid adoption under uncertainty. We argue that investing...

In order to support the mediator for the effective and key business value delivered during the interaction, coordination and facilitation of communication between the transport network and the internet protocol network management system, there is a need for robust design of human workflow and...

Status quo: Kommunikationsgeflecht in Geschäftsnetzwerken -- Blockchain als verteilte Netzwerktechnologie -- Kriterien für erfolgreiche Blockchain-Anwendungsfälle -- Mehrwerte für Netzwerkteilnehmer -- Aktuelle Herausforderungen in technischen und organisatorischen Fragen -- Auswirkung der...

Mounting concerns over the security and reliability of the grid have prompted many to question the grid's state-centered regulatory framework. Today, the federal government regulates interstate transmission, while the states exercise exclusive authority over intrastate distribution, generation,...

The global transition towards sustainable, secure, and affordable electricity supply is driving changes in the consumption, production, and transportation of electricity. This paper shows the different policy aims that are promoted with smart grids in Europe, the United States, and China. In all...

In Italy and in many EU countries, the last decade was characterized by a large development of distributed generation power plants. Their presence determined new critical issues for the design and management of the overall energy system and the electric grid due to the presence of discontinuous...
