Abstract:
Access to affordable, reliable and clean energy is an important sustainability goal of the United Nations. In areas where the public electricity grid is unreliable or unavailable, photovoltaic systems can be a solution. However, they are cost-intensive, mainly because of the energy storage systems. Mini-grids can be an answer for reducing upfront investment and overall system lifetime costs while increasing electricity availability. The mini-grid technology is mature, nevertheless, there are downsides when it comes to integrating existing solar systems of different manufacturers. The system topology is usually predefined and a central instance controls the mini-grid. Thus, the integration of existing power systems is difficult due to the communication constraints of these systems with the mini-grid controller. Including existing power systems into a decentralized mini-grid, can highly increase cost-efficiency. In a decentralized approach payments for the consumed energy between mini-grid actors are required. Accounting is, however, a complex administrative procedure, if the respective power systems are owned by different individuals and organizations. A transparent blockchain-based temper-proof approach can be a solution to automate metering and billing, allowing automatic payments between independent subsystem owners using smart contracts. In order to further optimize the smart mini-grid, an artificial intelligence learning algorithm for a dynamic electricity price needs to be developed. This smart and decentralized approach for building Mini-Grids is a novelty bringing solar systems one step closer to self-sufficiency. This paper describes how a smart mini-grid solution can be implemented using the Don Bosco Solar & Renewable Energy Center campus mini-grid in Tema, Ghana as a case study.

Abstract:
Renewable-powered “undergrid mini-grids” (UMGs) are instrumental for electrification in developing countries. An UMG can be installed under a—possibly unreliable— main grid to improve the local reliability or the main grid may “arrive” and connect to a previously isolated mini-grid. Minimising costs is key to reducing risks associated with UMG development. This article presents a novel market-logic strategy for the optimal operation of UMGs that can incorporate multiple types of controllable loads, customer smart curtailment based on reliability requirements, storage management, and exports to and imports from a main grid, which is subject to failure. The formulation results in a mixed-integer linear programming model (MILP) and assumes accurate predictions of the following uncertain parameters: grid spot prices, outages of the main grid, solar availability and demand profiles. An AC hybrid solar-battery-diesel UMG configuration from Nigeria is used as a case example, and numerical simulations are presented. The load-following (LF) and cycle-charging (CC) strategies are compared with our predictive strategy and HOMER Pro’s Predictive dispatch. Results prove the generality and adequacy of the market-logic dispatch model and help assess the relevance of outages of the main grid and of spot prices above the other uncertain input factors. Comparison results show that the proposed market-logic operation approach performs better in terms of cost minimisation, higher renewable fraction and lower diesel use with respect to the conventional LF and CC operating strategies.

Abstract:
The structure, circuit-design solutions and information support of the city electric networks in the conditions of the SMART GRID have been analyzed. It is demonstrated that the new conditions of functioning of electric power engineering, increasing demands for its technological state and reliability in most countries determined the transition to a restructuring of electrical networks to be based on the SMART GRID (intelligent power networks) innovative new structure. The definitions of the SMART GRID, its various attributes and characteristics in most developed countries including Belarus are presented. It is revealed that the existing and future circuit and constructive solutions that can automate the process of managing modes of urban electric networks under the SMART GRID conditions are manifold. At present, the most common in distribution networks are the sources of distributed generation (combustion turbines, wind turbines, photovoltaic installations, mini-hydro, etc.). The patterns and problems of information traceability of a traditional urban networks of the unified energy system of Belarus have been analyzed, and it is demonstrated that in the conditions of the SMART GRID most of the problems of the control mode that are characteristic for traditional distribution networks 6–10 kV and 0.38 kV, lose their relevance. Therefore, the present article presents and features the main directions of development of automatic control modes of the SMART GRID.

Abstract:
In this paper, eCook batteries are considered to be synonymous with those electric cooking devices (eCook), such as electric pressure cookers, induction cookers, hotplates or rice cookers, that can be connected to and supplied from a battery, which may or may not be fully integrated within the device. Connecting many eCook batteries can have an impact on the operation of a hybrid photovoltaic (PV)/diesel mini-grid network unless managed appropriately. The network could experience voltage fluctuations, system power losses and increased peak demand if all or most of the connected eCook batteries charge during a relatively “narrow” window of sunlight hours. Hence, this paper focuses on maximizing the number of eCook devices accommodated by the mini-grid, in keeping with increased consumer uptake, by regulating the charging rate (C-rate) of the eCook batteries themselves. The impact of varying the C-rate on the network constraints is assessed through a range of contextualized case studies. This entailed modeling an innovative smart eCook battery management system (EBMS) that actively monitors the state of the grid and decides on the eCook’s battery C-rate set-point required to address the network constraints. The results demonstrate that the EBMS can alleviate the impact of conventional eCook battery charging on the mini-grid network, as well as increase the quality of the charging service.

Abstract:
At present, the share of energy collected from renewable resources and low-power units is growing, and the generation becomes distributed, having many facilities that operate in co-generation mode. That is why the construction of an energy system with distributed heterogeneous sources and the improvement of its efficiency have become widely discussed issues. This paper proposes a solution of a local smart energy systemfortheTechnoEcoPark, a sciencepark of Rostov State Transport University, Rostov, Russia. The solution aims to integrate the distributed generation facilities, including environmentally friendly renewable resources, grid infrastructure and consumers with controllable and uncontrollable load. Theapproachtothe problem is the application of a smart control systemthatmanagesgeneration, distribution and consumptionof energy in a mini-CHP-based autonomous energy system. Such smart control systems reveal the trends of optimal energydistribution in a autonomousenergysystem. The study substantiates that installation of an in-house mini-CHP can solve the task of supplying heat and powertotheTechnoEcoPark. The important advantage of the solution is a significant reduction of expenses on energy consumption as the generation costs less compared to the grid tariffs. The proposed energy supply system of the TechnoEcoPark exemplifies the integration of heterogeneous heat and power sources and consumers into a commonnetwork. The paper outlines the mechanisms of the energy system efficiency improvement. These mechanisms make it possible to provide heat and power supply services to consumers and to return the generated power into the centralized grid. The materials of the paper can be of use to the specialists and researchers who are interested in generation and distribution of energy in autonomous systems.

Abstract:
“Are electric cooking appliances viable clean cooking solutions for mini-grids?” To help answer this question, the Access to Energy Institute (A2EI) set up a pilot project in six different mini-grid locations around Lake Victoria in Tanzania and gave 100 households an electric pressure cooker (EPC) to use in their homes. Each EPC was connected to a smart meter to collect data on how the EPCs were used. The paper presents findings from a study designed around the A2EI pilot project that aims to provide an understanding of cooking practices, the adoption of electric cooking over time, and to assess the potential for electric cooking to substitute traditional cooking fuels. Through collaboration with the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) program, Nexleaf Analytics, and PowerGen, the pilot has generated data on electrical energy consumption from 92 households in six remote areas as well as a comprehensive range of other datasets gathered from 28 households in two of the locations. This paper presents a preliminary analysis of this data. It starts with an analysis of cooking practices in these communities—dishes cooked, utensils used for cooking, and choice of fuels. It goes on to examine fuel stacking behavior, and finally, it examines how people have integrated EPCs into their cooking practices before the highlighting key impacts associated with using EPCs. The answer to the original research question will be useful for different stakeholders such as utility companies, mini-grid operators, electric cooking appliance manufacturers, the clean cooking sector, and international organizations.

Abstract:
Fuel supply issues are a major concern in remote island communities and this is an engineering field that needs to be analyzed in detail for transition to sustainable energy systems. Power generation in remote communities such as the islands of the Maldives relies on power generation systems primarily dependent on diesel generators. As a consequence, power generation is easily disrupted by factors such as the delay in transportation of diesel or rises in fuel price, which limits shipment quantity. People living in remote communities experience power outages often, but find them just as disruptive as people who are connected to national power grids. The use of renewable energy sources could help to improve this situation, however, such systems require huge initial investments. Remote power systems often operate with the help of financial support from profit-making private agencies and government funding. Therefore, investing in such hybrid systems is uncommon. Current electrical power generation systems operating in remote communities adopt an open loop control system, where the power supplier generates power according to customer demand. In the event of generation constraints, the supplier has no choice but to limit the power supplied and this often results in power cuts. Most smart grids that are being established in developed grids adopt a closed loop feedback control system. The smart grids integrated with demand side management tools enable the power supplier to keep customers informed about their daily energy consumption. Electric utility companies use different demand response techniques to achieve peak energy demand reduction by eliciting behavior change. Their feedback information is commonly based on factors such as cost of energy, environmental concerns (carbon dioxide intensity) and the risk of black-outs due to peak loads. However, there is no information available on the significant link between the constraints in resources and the feedback to the customers. In resource-constrained power grids such as those in remote areas, there is a critical relationship between customer demand and the availability of power generation resources. This thesis develops a feedback control strategy that can be adopted by the electrical power suppliers to manage a resource-constrained remote electric power grid such that the most essential load requirements of the customers are always met. The control design introduces a new concept of demand response called participatory demand response (PDR). PDR technique involves cooperative behavior of the entire community to achieve quality of life objectives. It proposes the idea that if customers understand the level of constraint faced by the supplier, they will voluntarily participate in managing their loads, rather than just responding to a rise in the cost of energy. Implementation of the PDR design in a mini-grid consists of four main steps. First, the end-use loads have to be characterized using energy audits, and then they have to be classified further into three different levels of essentiality. Second, the utility records have to be obtained and the hourly variation factors for the appliances have to be calculated. Third, the reference demand curves have to be generated. Finally, the operator control system has to be designed and applied to train the utility operators. A PDR case study was conducted in the Maldives, on the island of Fenfushi. The results show that a significant reduction in energy use was achieved by implementing the PDR design on the island. The overall results from five different constraint scenarios practiced on the island showed that during medium constrained situations, load reductions varied between 4.5kW (5.8%) and 7.7kW (11.3%). A reduction of as much as 10.7kW (15%) was achieved from the community during a severely constrained situation.

Abstract:
The renewable energy sources (RES) are intermittent in their nature and their integration in electric power grid has introduced the mismatch between supply and demand. This mismatch can be leveled by using the flexibilities from the supply and the demand side. The demand side in a power system has key importance in the evolving context of the energy systems. Electrical load patterns that represent the consumption level are affected by different types of uncertainties associated with customer’s behavior and with keeping acceptable comfort level. The resulting aggregated load pattern indicates the system response that may be more or less flexible in different periods of time. The distribution system operator in a microgrid is responsible for its secure and economic operation. Enhancing the knowledge on the aggregated behavior of these customers is particularly important for the distribution system operator, also with the aim of determining the potential flexibility of the demand and setting up the economic terms of the electricity provision to the customers. Extra charges due to high energy demand and contract violation penalties can be avoided using demand side flexibility. Demand side flexibility has many benefits in normal as well as emergency conditions like less cost and quick response. The study of aggregate residential demand for flexibility measures is important due to the diverse energy usage behavior of individual residents and conceptually, its availability all around the year for load management. Exploitation of possible flexibilities of the group of residential customer’s behavior is considered as an important option to promote demand response programs and to achieve greater energy savings. As far as the residential sector is concerned, a reasonable work can be found in the literature to assess the flexibility for the individual appliances, the aggregation of selected appliances. However, little work is found on the aggregation of residential units. Also, despite of many discussions about the concept of flexibility, the few mathematical definitions of flexibility available do not address the variation in time of the overall demand aggregation. There is a need to develop a methodology to extract flexibility information from aggregate electricity consumption behavior of the residents and develop useful flexibility indices for the aggregate residential loads. For this purpose, the first action required is to augment availability of information about the characteristics of aggregate electricity demand. The analysis of aggregate demand patterns is carried out by considering the demand pattern data representing the average power determined from the energy referring to a given time step duration. This thesis contains a comprehensive statistical analysis to investigate the effect of time step duration and aggregation level on load variation profile. Then the customer behavior about the change is demand is modeled using the binomial probability distribution. This model has led towards some novel definitions of flexibility indices. A new method based on the Beta probability distribution has been developed to generate the time coupled aggregate residential demand patterns, whose evolution depends on the uncertainties associated with the customer’s behavior. The outcome of this research work has also led towards defining the role of customers in microgrid application. For this purpose, a structure of the business model for a smart (mini) grid is proposed. The data sets used for all kind of analysis are generated for the different aggregations of the extra-urban residential customers using a bottom-up approach. The tools presented in this research work can be helpful for a system operator or an aggregator to assess demand side flexibilities, manage resources and efficiently use demand response programs. The findings of this work are also supportive to determine the metering structure for a microgrid application in which, by using current ICT technologies, it is possible to decide a compromise solution between the aggregation level and time step duration for smart metering. On the other hand, the research findings also led to the conclusion that the flexibility level for the individual residential customers is not so high to give economic benefits that make it attractive to participate in DR programs. From the studies, it seems that the problem is not with the technical aspects but with the current business model of the smart grids. For the future extension of this work, a framework of a new smart business model for smart (mini) grids, centric to customers, is presented. It is expected that the developments using the proposed background of the business model can lead towards a different era in the development of the power systems with the new wave of research; as new tools are required to embed economic and social considerations in planning the proposed architecture.

Abstract:
Recentemente, muitas mudanças vêm ocorrendo na forma como a energia elétrica é gerada e distribuída, criando com isso oportunidades de utilizar os recursos disponíveis in loco de forma mais eficiente, atuando juntamente com sistemas centralizados convencionais, para o atendimento das necessidades energéticas. Neste contexto, as minirredes de energia são consideradas pontos chaves para melhorar a confiabilidade e a qualidade da energia, aumentar a eficiência do sistema elétrico como um todo, viabilizar aos consumidores finais a possibilidade de uma certa independência da rede e uma participação mais ativa no mercado de energia elétrica. No entanto, a aplicação de tais topologias ainda não superou todas as barreiras para que todos os benefícios possam ser apreciados. Há ainda perguntas a serem respondidas sobre como lidar com as especificidades e os aspectos operacionais de minirredes, tanto em operação normal quanto em operação anômala, que são fundamentais para a sustentabilidade de longo prazo dos sistemas. Este trabalho discute aspectos relacionados à operação de minirredes, tanto em sistemas isolados quanto em sistemas conectados à rede da concessionária. No caso de sistemas isolados, a abordagem leva em consideração os riscos associados aos projetos voltados para eletrificação rural e discute questões não restritas ao projeto inicial, mas também à operação destes tipos de sistemas. No caso de sistemas conectados, são discutidas tendências relacionadas às topologias de utilização destes sistemas para operação conjunta com a rede elétrica. Um algoritmo para controle de minirredes em diferentes níveis hierárquicos é proposto. Este algoritmo serve como base para o controle da plataforma de interação de agentes distribuídos, montada no Laboratório de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos da Universidade de São Paulo para testes em equipamentos reais e para a formação de recursos humanos.
Recently, many changes are taking place in the way energy is generated and distributed, thus creating opportunities to utilize the resources available on site more efficiently, working along with conventional centralized systems, to meet energy needs. In this context, mini-grids are considered key points to improve the reliability and power quality, increase the efficiency of the electric system as a whole, enable end consumers to have a certain independence from the grid and a more active participation in the electricity market. However, the application of such topologies has not yet overcome all barriers so that all their benefits can be appreciated. There are still questions to be answered on how to deal with the specificities and operational aspects of micro-grids in both normal and anomalous operation, which are fundamental to the long-term sustainability of power systems. This work discusses aspects related to micro-grids in both isolated and grid-connected operation modes. In the case of isolated systems, the approach takes into account the risks associated with rural electrification projects and discusses issues not restricted to the design, but also to the operation of these types of systems. In the case of grid-connected systems, trends related to the topologies to be used for joint operation with the power grid are discussed. An algorithm to control micro-grids at different hierarchical levels is proposed. This algorithm serves as a basis for the control of the platform for the interaction of distributed agents assembled at the Laboratório de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos of the Universidade de São Paulo to be used for tests on real equipment and for capacity building.

Abstract:
Although it is now well known that access to electrification is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring sustainable development, rural households in sub-Saharan Africa in particular remain unelectrified. It is often not economically viable to connect these remote communities to the main grid. Therefore, mini-grid systems represent a promising alternative to ensure electrification even at long distances from the grid, backed by the fact that these systems are becoming cheaper with the advancement of integrated technologies. However, such systems are fraught with risk if various potential pitfalls are not considered upfront. This discourages investors and thus prevents the electrification rate to increase. The following chapter therefore aims to highlight the risk landscape for the deployment of mini-grid systems in order to assist investors in sustainably integrating mini-grid systems. The approach is illustrated using Namibia’s largest mini-grid in Tsumkwe as an example. Through the application of the SRMP, it is revealed that the mini-grid is exposed to a moderate level of risk, mainly due to a lack of education and a replacement process.

Abstract:
The internet of things (IoT) has recently brought major technological advances in many domains, including the smart grid. Despite the simplicity and efficiency that IoT brings, there are also underlying risks that are slowing down its adoption. These risks are caused by the presence of legacy systems inside existing infrastructures that were built with no security in mind. In this chapter, the authors propose a method for early-stage detection of cyber-security incidents and protection against them through applicable security measures. This chapter introduces security techniques such as anomaly detection, threat investigation through a highly automated decision support system (DSS), as well as incident response and recovery for smart grid systems. The introduced framework can be applied to industrial environments such as cyber-threats targeting the production generator as well as the electricity smart meters, etc. The chapter also illustrates the framework's cyber-resilience against zero-day threats and its ability to distinguish between operational failures as well as cyber-security incidents.

Abstract:
Grid computing is an emerging technology providing the possibility to aggregate resources for the solution of computation- or data-intensive scientific tasks. Taking the evolution of mobile computing into consideration, new Grid concepts are conceivable, fully exploiting the advantage of mobile devices and ubiquitous access. By decoupling resource availability from the core grid infrastructure and hardware, the user has always the same computational power, data or storage available, regardless of a device or location. Thus restricted capabilities of thin clients can be extended and new fields of application can be made accessible. The key concept is “The invisible grid” – the grid environment should just be there for the use of applications in science, business, health care, environment, or culture domains. Having this concept in mind, the following scenario is conceivable: Equipped with your mobile phone, which you always have with you, you are walking around and are taking a picture of an object you are interested in. You are sending the picture to the grid, where the visual information is extracted. After the analysis, information about the captured object is sent to you. Thus you have a search engine on a visual base at your permanent disposal, information captured as seen by your eyes – without the need of textural translations or the need to know the object’s name or ID in order to retrieve information about it. Realizing the scenario above, the user obtains a smart tool, easing information retrieval considerably by making use of ubiquity in combination with grid computing. But the scenario has even more potential in terms of pervasiveness. The use of mobile devices can provide a user with additional location bound information. With a portable device the user is able to access location-based services or to collect environmental information to be processed within a grid. At this stage research activities in the field of pervasive computing comeinto play. Pervasive computing pursues the goal to enhance the environment with sensors and smart objects in order to provide the user with suitable context-based and/or location-based services. Expanding the introduced setting with the capabilities from pervasive computing, the following scenario is conceivable: You are an invited speaker on a conference and you are moving through the rooms of the venue. All rooms are equipped with cameras covering all perspectives of view. You are looking at a person from whom you want to know the research interests. You flick with your finger, to capture the camera picture from your perspective. The picture is processed within the grid and the ambient display next to you shows the requested information.

Abstract:
The fast-growing field of technology allows for the development, design, and implementation of smart solutions to several industries such as smart grid, manufacturing, automotive, and robotics. Trends in smart solutions are based on providing a certain degree of intelligence to the process and products through intelligent artificial and machine learning algorithms. It also involves further use of devices based on power electronics elements, fast microcontrollers, intelligent algorithms, and processing of information via local or cloud. Hence, a new workforce that possesses multidisciplinary skills (i.e., dealing with different fields of knowledge in order to find solutions to complex problems) is required. Recently, virtual laboratories have emerged so as to aid in the improvement of forming engineers. In this chapter, a virtual co-simulation laboratory is proposed to deal with the lack of engineers with multidisciplinary skills in mind; additionally, a new framework based in co-simulation, co-modeling, and co-design is proposed in order to maximize the use of the laboratory proposed.
