At first, this paper analyzed the key technologies of the 4G communication system and the main advantages in comparison with the 3G communication system in communication rate, time-delay, spectral efficiency, etc. And then, it analyzed the smart power grids’ demand for communication technology and the limitations of traditional electric power communication. By Comparing with the traditional electric power communication, it demonstrated that the 4G communication system is suitable for smart power grids. At last, this paper prospected the application fields of the 4G communication system in the smart power grids, and also raised the issues and challenges that electric power enterprises will face.

The relevance of the work is determined by the need to improve the electrical distribution grids of railways on the basis of digital technologies. The article presents advanced methods of transportation and distribution of electric power in smart power grids of railways based on multi-agent control. The analysis of the power supply system for stationary railroad consumers was performed and advanced ways of their development were defined. These methods should provide increased speed, adaptive determination of restrictions on using electric power equipment, management of mode parameters, sectioning and power flow modes in electrical distribution grids, restoration of power supply after emergency events. The method of adaptive control of transportation and distribution of electric energy in the power supply system of stationary railway consumers is developed based on the hierarchical structure of IEC 61850. This method takes into account the coordination of managing and local controllers in the data exchange environment, the control results and the variable area of responsibility of controllers and their division according to their functional purpose based on the multi-agent approach. The method of power flow control was developed to reduce power losses, increase the capacity of transport channels and ensure the restoration of the normal mode of the electric network by reconfiguring it and controlling active elements based on graph theory. The method takes into account the expected daily load curve, limits on the demand for capacity by active consumers and the possibility of a closed mode of electrical network operation through controlled cross-sections. The simulation results presented on the test circuit have showed the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed approaches.

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.

The article substantiates the expediency of improving the legal support for the introduction and use of energy-efficient lighting equipment, as well as smart networks (Smart Grid), taking into account the ongoing digitalization of the Russian economy and electric power industry. The goal of scientific research is formulated, which is to develop practical recommendations on optimization of the public relations legal regulation in the digital power engineering sector. The research methodology is represented by the interaction of the legal and sociological aspects of the scientific methods system. The current regulatory and legal basis for the transformation of digital electricity relations has been determined. The need to modernize the system of the new technologies introduction legal regulation for generation, storage, transmission of energy, intelligent networks, including a riskbased management model, is established. A set of standardsetting measures was proposed to transform the legal regulation of public relations in the field of energyefficient lighting equipment with the aim of creating and effectively operating a single digital environment, both at the Federal and regional levels. A priority is set for the development of “smart” power grids and highly efficient power equipment in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation through a set of legal, economic (financial), edu cational measures.

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.
