A shortcoming of the contemporary power grid monitoring is that the system does not know its own state. Instead of taking automatic note of energy-flow disruptions, one deals with haphazard telephone reports of “no light in our house”. We propose a novel monitoring system that requires no restructuring of the power distribution network and can be applied both to the existing grids and the future “smart grids”. The proposed system is based on a network of inexpensive sensors, installed on every connecting line and communicating measured data to a central processing unit. Our approach is topological in nature, based on the connectivity aspects of the power grid embodied in Kirchhoff's current law that must be valid at every node of the network. We argue that the state of the network can be adequately characterized by specifying the RMS currents and the direction of energy flow in all connecting lines. It is essential that in this description one does not have to know the magnitude of the energy flow, only its direction. This eliminates the need to measure voltage, which would be prohibitively costly on the massive scale. In contrast, the relative phase between the current and voltage can be measured easily. Another essential point is that the instantaneous RMS currents are impractical to record and communicate, hence local averaging is required. Since Kirchhoff's law should remain valid upon averaging, the latter must be carried out at each sensor synchronously over the entire network with global synchronization provided by the GPS.

With the development of smart power distribution technology in the future, a large range of power supply load (such as distributed wind power generation) will appear on the power receiving end. When distributed wind power is connected to the power grid on a large scale, it will have a certain impact on the safe and stable operation of the power grid. However, if the wind power output characteristics can be analyzed and the wind power output is properly regulated, the one-way flow of power from the distribution network to the user side will be broken, so that the future "network-load" has dual interaction characteristics based on response and substantial power exchange.

A remote online carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration monitoring system is developed, based on the technologies of wireless sensor networks, in allusion to the gas leakage monitoring requirement for CO2 capture and storage. The remote online CO2 monitoring system consists of monitoring equipment, a data center server, and the clients. The monitoring equipment is composed of a central processing unit (CPU), air environment sensors array, global positioning system (GPS) receiver module, secure digital memory card (SD) storage module, liquid crystal display (LCD) module, and general packet radio service (GPRS) wireless transmission module. The sensors array of CO2, temperature, humidity, and light intensity are used to collect data and the GPS receiver module is adopted to collect location and time information. The CPU automatically stores the collected data in the server and displays them on the LCD display module in real-time. Afterwards, the GPRS module continuously wirelessly transmits the collected information to the data center server. The online monitoring Web GIS clients are developed using a PHP programming language, which runs on the Apache web server. MySQL is utilized as the database because of its speed and reliability, and the stunning cross browser web maps are created, optimized, and deployed with the Open Layers JavaScript web-mapping library.

The prediction of several failure modes of an industrial equipment requires the development of prediction systems with several interdependent parameters. The integration of future maintenance actions with this type of prediction system is a major asset for maintenance decision making. This is even more relevant in the event that after having predicted the future occurrence of several failure modes, the maintenance department does not have the necessary resources to correct all the predicted failure modes at once. In this case it becomes necessary to know how much longer the equipment will work if future partial maintenance actions that do not correct all failure modes are implemented. It is to contribute to the resolution of this problem that we propose an architecture integrating the future maintenance actions to the prediction of several interdependent parameters. This architecture is based on the association of Proportional Integral Derivative regulators to Neuro-Fuzzy systems taking into account the four previous instants to predict the next instant. An application is made with accuracies of the order of 70% for the prediction of the phenomena of fouling of the coolers and of the order of 90% for the prediction of the phenomena of clogging of the filters of the ATLAS COPCO compressor, this with Central Processing Unit values not exceeding one minute.

Until recently, the dominant paradigm in the electrification consisted of universal service and its centralization, and for loor modern times think of the power grid of the future where a qualitative and radical leap is required because of the need to manage better energy resources, promote environmental protection and meet the increasingly demanding requirements of quality of service. A power distribution network becomes intelligent acquiring data, communicating, processing information and exercising control through a feedback that allows you to adjust to changes that may arise in actual operation. Ecuador aimed at energy efficiency through smart grids, which allow the dealer to maintain absolute monitoring of energy flow and the elements of the power grid. Thus, it is possible that service companies can efficiently manage their assets and the end user to manage consumption rationally, requiring to enhance the energy efficiency of power grids, one management timely and efficient energy.
