The document discusses cyber security threats to the US power grid. It notes that the power grid consists of over 300,000 km of transmission lines operated by 500 companies. Cyber attacks on critical infrastructure like the power grid are increasing in frequency and sophistication, which could have severe consequences. For example, a DDoS attack costing just $40 could overwhelm network links and cause a blackout. The document also provides examples of past cyber attacks on energy systems like Stuxnet and the 2015 attack on Ukraine's power grid that left 700,000 residents without electricity for 7 hours.
These are the slides for my keynote lecture "AI Techniques for Smart Grids" at the 2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia conference where I discussed the role and potential of self-organization in the smart grid.
This document discusses distributed generation and the smart grid environment. It provides an introduction to the need for changes in energy generation, delivery, and use to establish sustainability and restore environmental balance. The document then discusses different forms of renewable energy sources and distributed generation. It describes some of the challenges of distributed generation and how a smart grid can help solve these issues. Finally, it discusses components of the smart grid like advanced metering infrastructure and phasor measurement units, and the benefits of integrating distributed generation with the smart grid.
This document discusses smart grid technology in India. It begins with an introduction to smart grids and the current one-way electricity transmission system. It then discusses India's increasing electricity needs and deficits. The main points are: - A smart grid uses communication technology to collect data from suppliers and consumers to automate distribution management. - Smart grids have two-way interaction and include components like smart meters, distributed generation, and information transfer. - Smart grids can help reduce carbon footprints, improve efficiency, enable self-healing of outages, and increase use of renewable energy through technologies like smart meters and distributed generation.
The presentation is on Wireless Smart Grid. In this about the technology about the preparation on smart grid to wireless smart grid.
The document discusses the smart grid, which aims to address issues with today's electrical grid such as blackouts and one-way communication. It introduces the concept of adding "intelligence infrastructure" like smart meters, transmission upgrades, energy storage, and networked appliances. This smart infrastructure enables features like demand response, distributed generation, electric vehicles, optimized asset use, and problem detection. Key components are discussed in more detail, including smart meters, electric vehicles, and potential partners for building smart grid cities. The conclusion outlines how the smart grid facilitates changes to electricity production, transmission and consumption while supporting environmental and customer control goals.
The document discusses power quality monitoring and its importance for sustainable energy systems like solar power in India. It provides context on increased sensitivity of modern equipment to power quality issues and defines different types of steady state variations and events that impact power quality. Monitoring objectives include proactive and reactive approaches to characterize system performance and identify specific problems. The development of an intelligent power quality monitoring system using LabVIEW and sensors is described to efficiently monitor power quality in sustainable energy systems.
