A Novel Internet-of-Things Infrastructure to Support Self-Healing Distribution Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel distributed software infrastructure to foster new services in smart grids with particular emphasis on supporting self-healing distribution systems. This infrastructure exploits the rising Internet-of-Things paradigms to build and manage an interoperable peer-to-peer network of our prototype smart meters, also presented in this paper. The proposed three-phase smart meter, called 3-SMA, is a low cost and open-source Internet-connected device that provides features for self-configuration. In addition, it selectively run onboard-algorithms for smart grid management depending on its deployment on the distribution network. Finally, we present the experimental results of Hardware-In-the-Loop simulations we performed.

Proficient Model of Monitoring and Controlling of Low Voltage Distribution Smart Feeder Protection System Using IoT

“…Constantly 2013, the IoT had developed into a system utilizing different technology, extending from the Internet to wireless communication and from Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) to embedded systems [7]. The customary automation (counting the computerization of structures and homes), wireless sensor systems, GPS, control frameworks, and others all help the IoT [8]. The IoT systems can be interconnected with any other devices, privacy, and security of the system are the main advantages [9].…”
