Blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) complements each other within the space of decentralization, real time monitoring, and data sharing and security. In this paper we explored the integration of blockchain and IoT within the context of smart grid. Current REC system lacks visibility and transparency which are very critical to the success of smart grids. Conventional smart grid system makes it difficult to proof whether a buyer has truly received an energy certificate or not. Therefore, we proposed a blockchain and IoT based system for autonomous monitoring of energy sources and tracking of RECs on smart grid. Our system provides the visibility and transparency on smart grid networks that is imperative to safeguarding RECs market. Results based on extensive experiments illustrate the efficiency and scalability of our system.

Efficient approach for power flow management of hybrid renewable energy system connected smart grid system is proposed in this paper. Here, the proposed approach is the combination of both the modified elephant herding optimization algorithm with tabu search algorithm named as MEHOTSA. In the proposed technique, the modified elephant herding optimization algorithm plays out the assessment procedure to establish the exact control signals for the system and builds up the control signals database for the offline way in light of the power variety between source side and the load side. The multi-objective function is shaped by the grid required active power and reactive power varieties generated based on the accessible source power. The accomplished dataset is used to work the Tabu search algorithm on the online way and it leads the control procedure in less execution time. The proposed technique-based control model enhances the control parameters of the power controller in light of the power flow varieties. By utilizing the proposed methodology, the power flow management of the smart grid system is controlled dependent on the source side and load side parameters varieties. Additionally, the proposed methodology is in charge of controlling the energy sources so as to produce the power demanded by the grid, utilizing optimally both renewable energy sources and energy storage devices. Finally, the proposed model be actualized in MATLAB/Simulink platform and the performance are compared with other techniques.

<p>This paper proposed the integration of solar energy resources into the conventional unit commitment. The growing concern about the depletion of fossil fuels increased the awareness on the importance of renewable energy resources, as an alternative energy resources in unit commitment operation. However, the present renewable energy resources is intermitted due to unpredicted photovoltaic output. Therefore, Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) is proposed to solve unit commitment problem in smart grid system with consideration of uncertainties .ALO is inspired by the hunting appliance of ant lions in natural surroundings. A 10-unit system with the constraints, such as power balance, spinning reserve, generation limit, minimum up and down time constraints are considered to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. The performance of proposed algorithm are compared with the performance of Dynamic Programming (DP). The results show that the integration of solar energy resources in unit<em> commitment scheduling can improve the total operating cost significantly. </em></p>

The evolution and miniaturization of the technologies for processing, storage, and communication have enabled computer systems to process a high volume of information and make decisions without human intervention. Within this context, several systems architectures and models have gained prominences, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Grids (SGs). SGs use communication protocols to exchange information, among which the Open Smart Grid Protocol (OSGP) stands out. In contrast, this protocol does not have integration support with IoT systems that use some already consolidated communication protocols, such as the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). Thus, this work develops the integration of the protocols OSGP and CoAP to allow the communication between conventional IoT systems and systems dedicated to SGs. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of this integration, with the minimum impact on the flow of commands and data, making possible the use of the developed CoAP-OSGP Interface for Internet of Things (COIIoT).

AbstractWith the increasing integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in the power grid, a decentralized approach becomes essential for scheduling and allocation of resources in a smart grid. Economic Dispatch (ED) and Unit Commitment (UC) are the two major resource allocation problems that play critical role in the safe and stable operation of a grid system. The uncertainty associated with renewable energy sources have made the resource allocation problems even more challenging for grid operators. The future grid will have a higher generation mix of renewable energy sources and a large load of Electrical vehicles, with the possibility of bi-directional power flow. This complex smart grid system necessitates the development of a decentralized approach to resource allocation problem, which allows inter-node communication and decision making. Multi-agent systems (MAS) is a promising platform to decentralize the traditional centralized resource allocation aspects of smart grid. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on the application of MAS to Economic Dispatch (ED) and Unit Commitment (UC) in smart grids.
