Nonlinear and unbalanced loads introduce distortions to the power network in form of harmonics asymmetric load conditions. Through rising penetration residential renewable plants, energy is fed back into grid. By shaping output those converters can be mitigated. The technique shunt active filtering allows instantaneous compensation a dedicated nonlinear load, by measuring its distorted consumpt...

THE NEXT generation electric grid, also known as smart grid, is expected to be scalable, reliable, and secure, and to enhance efficient energy consumption and deployment of renewable and distributed energy generation. The modern communications and networking technologies will play a vital role in the future smart grid by supporting two-way energy and information flow and enabling efficient moni...

The performance of smart grid applications such as advanced metering interest in the use of the forward error correction (FEC) codes Gilbert channel model. evaluation of routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks,” Mobile. teria for performance evaluation. Time could also be used

DynaMIT is a simulation-based real-time system designed to estimate the current state of a transportation network, predict future traac conditions , and provide consistent and unbiased information to travelers. To perform these tasks, eecient simulators have been designed to explicitly capture the interactions between transportation demand and supply. The demand reeects both the OD ow patterns ...

We discuss Web Service Management (WSM) and Web Service Composition Management (WSCM) applications of the Web Service Offerings Language (WSOL) and how the language supports these applications. WSOL is a language for the formal specification of classes of service, various constraints (functional constraints, Quality of Service—QoS, and access rights), and management statements (prices, monetary...

Measurements gathered by Smart Meters and collected through the Automatic Metering Infrastructure of Smart Grids can be accessed by numerous external subjects for different purposes, ranging from billing to grid monitoring. Therefore, to prevent the disclosure of personal information through the analysis of energy consumption patterns, the metering data must be securely handled. Peer-to-peer (P...

This study examines the efficiency of Pakistan’s power distribution industry through an index that is experiencing financial and technical losses resulting in poor service quality, blackouts, high tariffs. The reveals a moderate decline from 2007–2015 to levels by 2022, with some improvement noted reducing increasing recoveries. However, certain DISCOs have seen indicators such as reliability, ...

Accurate savings estimations are important to promote energy efficiency projects and demonstrate their cost-effectiveness. The increasing presence of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in commercial buildings has resulted in a rising availability of high frequency interval data. These data can be used for a variety of energy efficiency applications such as demand response, fault detection a...

1 This article focuses on cybersecurity of transportation systems and investigates their vulnerability 2 to attacks on the sensing and control infrastructure. An array of different attack points, classi3 fied into physical, close-proximity, and virtual layers, are reviewed and investigated. We construct 4 two benchmark scenarios which exploit these vulnerabilities to identify the potential harm...
