In these last decades, electrical power grids become more intelligent. Hence, sophisticated software and hardware were introduced to the power grid, which makes it a smart grid. This chapter is an introduction on smart-grid technology; thus, microgrids are explained, and the use of multiagent system in centralized/decentralized energy management systems are discussed and compared. Smart agents are an emerging technology for decentralized computation and data storage. Hence, in this chapter, decentralized energy management system is created basing on multi-agent system technique where sources and loads are considered as separated agents each of them. After that, these sources and load create a microgrid and each microgrid can be considered as an agent. The work proposes an approach for load supplying optimization to decrease the microgrid cost and enhance its efficiency.

The increasing development of the smart grid demands reliable monitoring of the power quality at different levels, introducing more and more measurement points. In this framework, the advanced metering infrastructure must deal with this large amount of data, storage capabilities, improving visualization, and introducing customer-oriented interfaces. This work proposes a method that optimizes the smart grid data, monitoring the real voltage supplied based on higher order statistics. The method proposes monitoring the network from a scalable point of view and offers a two-fold perspective based on the duality utility-prosumer as a function of the measurement time. A global PQ index and 2D graphs are introduced in order to compress the time domain information and quantify the deviations of the waveform shape by means of three parameters. Time-scalability allows two extra features: long-term supply reliability and power quality in the short term. As a case study, the work illustrates a real-life monitoring in a building connection point, offering 2D diagrams, which show time and space compression capabilities, as well.

With the comprehensive construction of the smart grid, the smart grid operation control and interactive service system will be initially formed. The smart terminal of smart grid are smart meters, and they produce a large number of various data all the time. That how to most effectively manage these massive data storage is an important research point for improving the intelligence service. This paper studies the smart meter massive data storage management based on cloud computing platform. The Hadoop distributed computing platform for smart meter massive data management is reliable, efficient, scalable storage.


Design and development of a cloud-based non-intrusive load monitoring System (NILM) is presented. It serves for monitoring and disaggregating the aggregated data such as smart metering into appliance-level load information by using cloud computing and machine learning algorithms implemented in cloud. The existing NILM systems are lack of scalability and limited in computing resources (computation and data storage) due to dedicated, closed and proprietary-based characteristics. They are inaccessible to variety of heterogeneity data (electrical and non-electrical data) openly for improving NILM performance. Therefore, this paper proposed a novel cloud-based NILM system to enable collection of these open data for load monitoring and other energy-related services. The collected data such as smart meter or data acquisition unit (DAQ), is pre-processed and uploaded to the cloud platform. A classifier algorithm based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is implemented in Azure ML Studio (AzureML), followed by the classifier testing with different combinations of feature set for the performance comparison. Furthermore, a web service is deployed for web APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) of applications such as smart grid and smart cities. The results shows that the ANN classifier for multiclass classification has improved performance with additional features of harmonics, apart from active and reactive powers used. It also demonstrates the feasibility of proposed cloud-based classifier model for load monitoring. Therefore, the proposed solution offers a convenient and cost-effective way of load monitoring via cloud computing technology for smart grid and smart home applications. Further work includes the use of other ML algorithms for classifier, performance analysis, development of cloud-based universal appliance data and use cases
