The conventional electrical grid is undergoing substantial growth for reliable grid operation and for more efficient and sustainable energy use. The traditional grid is now metamorphosing into a smart grid (SG) that incorporates a diverse, heterogeneous blend of operating measures such as smart appliances, meters, and renewable energy resources. With better efficient results and dependability, the SG can be described as a modern electric power grid architecture. The SG is one of the greatest potential advances as a promising solution for the energy crisis. However, it is complex and its decentralization could be of tremendous benefit. Moreover, digitalization and integration of a large number of growing connections make it a target of cyber-attacks. In this sense, blockchain is a promising SG paradigm solution that offers several excellent features. There has been considerable effort put into using blockchains in the smart grid for its decentralization and enhanced cybersecurity; however, it has not been thoroughly studied in both application and architectural perspectives. An in-depth study was conducted on blockchain-enabled SG applications. Blockchain architectures for various applications, such as the synchrophasor applications, electric vehicles, energy management systems, etc., were proposed. The purpose of this article is to provide directions for future research efforts aimed at secure and decentralized SG applications using blockchain.

This paper focuses on the methods that ensure the rotor angle stability of electric power systems, which is most frequently analyzed with small-signal models. Over the past several decades, power system stabilizers (PSSs) for conventional excitation systems were the main tools for improving the small-signal stability of electromechanical oscillatory modes. In the last decade, power oscillation damping (POD) control implemented in photovoltaic (PV) inverters has been considered an alternative to PSSs. As PV generation undergoes massive rollout due to policy directions and renewable energy source integration activities, it could potentially be used as a source of damping, which is crucial for sustaining the rotor angle stability of the remaining in-service synchronous generators. Several studies have already been dedicated to the development of different damping strategies. This paper contributes to the existing research in power system stability by providing a comprehensive review of the effects of PV generation on small-signal stability, as well as the recent evolution of POD control through PV inverters. The features and impacts of the various ways to realize POD controllers are assessed and summarized in this paper. Currently, detailed information and discussions on the practical application of PV inverter PODs are not available. This paper is, thus, intended to initiate a relevant discussion and propose possible implementation approaches concerning the topic under study.

Power grid is facing several challenges such as voltage violation, power losses, and power quality issues due to the high integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. One of the several strategies to overcome the voltage violation problem is the provision of reactive power from wind and solar power plants. Local controller of these plants coordinates with the controller to generate the reactive power. The coordinated controller performs its function based on the information obtained from the whole grid via communication network. Communication network infrastructure has high responsibility to ensure secure and stable services in order to provide reliable voltage control in distribution grids (DGs). Unstable or insecure communication networks can lead to several problems in the power system, such as increased power losses and in worse case blackouts. Therefore, this paper analyses the impact of cyber-attacks on the voltage quality control supported by the reactive power generation of PV plants in DGs. Two cyber-attack scenarios are demonstrated via a voltage coordination scenario based on a real distribution grid in Northern Denmark. Simulations are done in a Simulink model of Thy Mors Energi Grid, Denmark. A cyber control block is implemented within the coordinated controller in order to mitigate the effect of cyber-attack. Experimental results show that it is possible to detect and mitigate a cyber-attack such as denial of service and integrity attack before sending a control signal thus contributing towards a secure, stable, and resilient power grid.
