The modern way of living depends on a very high degree on electricity utilization. People take for granted that their energy needs will be satisfied 24/7 which mandates the maintaining of the power grid in stable state. To that end, the development of precise methods for monitoring and predicting events that might disturb its uninterrupted operation is immense. Moreover, the evolvement of power grids into smart grids where the end users continuously participate in the power market by forming energy prices and/or by adjusting their energy needs according to their own agenda, adds high volatility to load demand. In that sense, with regard to predictive methods, a plain single point prediction application may not be enough. The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a method in order to further enhance this type of applications by providing Predictive Intervals (PIs) regarding ampacity overloading in smart power systems through the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs).

Software-defined networking (SDN) provides flexibility in controlling, managing, and dynamically reconfiguring the distributed heterogeneous smart grid networks. Considerably less attention has been received to provide security in SDN-enabled smart grids. Centralized SDN controller protects smart grid networks against outside attacks only. Furthermore, centralized SDN controller suffers from a single point of compromise and failure which is detrimental to security and reliability. This chapter presents a framework with multiple SDN controllers and security controllers that provides a secure and robust smart grid architecture. The proposed framework deploys a local IDS to provide security in a substation. Whereas a global IDS is deployed to provide security in control center and overall smart grid network, it further verifies the consequences of control-commands issued by SDN controller and SCADA master. Performance comparison and simulation result show that the proposed framework is efficient as compared to existing security frameworks for SDN-enabled smart grids.

The recent advances in computing technologies and the increasing availability of large amounts of data in smart grids and smart cities are generating new research opportunities in the application of Machine Learning (ML) for improving the observability and efficiency of modern power grids. However, as the number and diversity of ML techniques increase, questions arise about their performance and applicability, and on the most suitable ML method depending on the specific application. Trying to answer these questions, this manuscript presents a systematic review of the state-of-the-art studies implementing ML techniques in the context of power systems, with a specific focus on the analysis of power flows, power quality, photovoltaic systems, intelligent transportation, and load forecasting. The survey investigates, for each of the selected topics, the most recent and promising ML techniques proposed by the literature, by highlighting their main characteristics and relevant results. The review revealed that, when compared to traditional approaches, ML algorithms can handle massive quantities of data with high dimensionality, by allowing the identification of hidden characteristics of (even) complex systems. In particular, even though very different techniques can be used for each application, hybrid models generally show better performances when compared to single ML-based models.


The term “Smart grid” is used for the modernized electrical power system grids. Power grids as we know it is a collection of generation units and load centers that are connected through power lines. Smart grids are a newer version of power grids which basically is the digitalization of the infrastructure with the involvement of smart meters, sensors and different types of IED’s (Intelligent Electronic Devices). As the grids become smart they become vulnerable to attacks over the internet i.e., cyber attacks

Abstract With the increased complexity of power systems and the high integration of smart meters, advanced sensors, and high-level communication infrastructures within the modern power grids, the collected data becomes enormous and requires fast computation and outstanding analyzing methods under normal conditions. However, under abnormal conditions such as faults, the challenges dramatically increase. Such faults require timely and accurate fault detection, identification, and location approaches for guaranteeing their desired performance. This paper proposes two machine learning approaches based on the binary classification to improve the process of fault detection in smart grids. Besides, it presents four machine learning models trained and tested on real and modern fault detection data set designed by the Technical University of Ostrava. Many evaluation measures are applied to test and compare these approaches and models. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic curves are utilized to prove the applicability and validity of the proposed approaches. Finally, the proposed models are compared to previous studies to confirm their superiority.

A smart grid is an advanced utility, stations, meters, and energy systems that comprises a diversity of power processes of smart meters, and various power resources. The cyber-physical systems (CPSs) can play a vital role boosting the realization of the smart power grid. Applied CPS techniques that comprise soft computing methods, communication network, management, and control into a smart physical power grid can greatly boost to realize this industry. The cyber-physical smart power systems (CPSPS) are an effective model system architecture for smart grids. Topics as control policies, resiliency methods for secure utility meters, system stability, and secure end-to-end communications between various sensors/controllers would be quite interested in CPSPS. One of the essential categories in CPSPS applications is the energy management system (EMS). The chapter will spotlight the model and design the relationship between the grid and EMS networks with standardization. The chapter also highlights some necessary standards in the context of CPSPS for the grid infrastructure.

Smart grids change the business model of power companies for the benefit of the end consumer. Today, one of the challenges facing the electricity sector in Peru is meeting the demand and energy consumption of society due to urban and industrial growth. This research aimed to analyze the current situation of smart power grids; as well as the viability of the implementation of projects of these networks taking into account the restrictions and considerations within the legal framework in the Peruvian territory. The relevance of these projects will provide electricity to less favored sectors of society and will make current services more efficient. The research is based on a hermeneutical study structured in three stages. First, an analysis of the implementation in Peru. Second, challenges to implement Smart grids in Peru. Third, regulations for the implementation of Smart grids. Therefore, it is concluded that the implementation of Smart Grids must be part of the government's public management policy, taking into account the advantages, vulnerabilities and an appropriate form of regulation in the implementation of these new technologies.
