As there is a rapid growth both in the number of power consumers and also the limitations energy resources, it is clearly accepted that the old version of power grid must change into smart grid from head to toe. One of the most important advantages of smart grid which makes it much more exclusive rather than other typical systems is the two-way connectivity between the utility and the costumers...

Utilizing the combined cooling, heating and power generation (CHP) systems to produce cooling, heat and electricity is growing rapidly due to their high efficiency and low emissions in commercial and industrial applications. In conventional CHP systems the deficit of the system power can be purchased from the grid. However, this system cannot be used as the standalone application. The hybrid so...

This paper analyzes security problems existing in Grid Computing System and describes the security mechanism in Grid Computing System. After briefly introducing the security abstract of grid computing system at Grid Security Basic Layer, several protocols are defined at Grid Security Protocol Layer based on security architecture model. Broker protocols are then thoroughly discussed.

we consider a grid network where nodes contain small buffers. a packet that faces a crowded buffer in its route will get extra latency and may be dropped. in this paper, we propose a novel flow control protocol called rfcc for grid networks. rfcc tries to reroute delayed packets and utilizes network coding to introduce a configurable amount of redundant information in the network, thereby incre...
