Abstract:As the number of facilities adopting a Building Management System under the Industry 4.0 paradigm increases, it is critical to ensure the good health of their operations. Business continuity and uninterrupted operations are key requirements for any building, for which Power Quality and Supply Reliability sophisticated monitoring can play an extremely important role. Submetering, as opposed to bulk-metering, implies measuring power consumption for individual units or appliances in a building complex. An Internet of Things mesh network, which brings ubiquitous power quality submetering inside the entire facility, would be extremely beneficial for the management of the building thus ensuring seamless business operations. This work describes a novel low-cost Internet of Things sensor for measuring and analyzing power quality at the input of any individual Alternating Current (AC) appliance, providing an early detection and analysis system which controls those critical variables inside the facility and leads to anticipate faults with early-stage alerts based on on-time data streams treatment. Moreover, the recorded power quality parameters that are processed in the Cloud system can help to reduce energy consumption, as power quality disturbances can be automatically analyzed and even compared to standard values. The proposed Internet of Things sensor will help users to detect most power quality steady-state and events disturbances, while monitoring the energy consumption. This Internet of Things Power Quality sensor is built around a flexible microcontroller, which manages an energy metering Integrated Circuit (IC) through Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), increasing its original capabilities by including new sophisticated software functionality. Additionally, it wirelessly communicates with a cloud-based Internet of Things Platform to allow the storage and supervision of the different power quality events for the entire facility. An example of the access to the data is also included.

This paper deals with the concept of "smart grids". Starting from drivers behind the evolution of the power system, an overview of elements and technologies is given: smart grids have to intelligently integrate the actions of all users connected to it -generators, consumers and those that do both -in order to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity supplies. Examples of solutions from demonstration projects represent the base for discussing methodologies to estimate benefits deriving from smart grid solutions, showing how conflicting goals cannot always be fulfilled simultaneously. Finally, future perspectives are discussed: the main thinking regards the awaited pivot role for customers, in the future scenario with an increased utilization of electricity combined with a high penetration of non-programmable resources.

“…Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) studies in the substation area are more concern today than ever before. Although the EMC issues have been discussed widely in power systems, there has been limited work done on the EMC within the current implementation of the automated substation, especially in the context of a smart grid [9]- [11]. Thus, it is significant that the electromagnetic field distribution within a substation environment is well identified with the intention of the possible to reduced EMC hazards.…”

The implementation of the smart grid system transformed the old substation into a new automated substation. All equipment and component installed in the high voltage substation need to be electromagnetically compatible with each other. Thus, the magnetic field distributed in the environment must be predicted and quantified. Furthermore, with the use of more sensitive microelectronic devices in the system, it creates a need to reassess the substation environment compatibility for current and future circumstances. In this paper, the calculation method used to determine magnetic field distribution within a substation environment has been reviewed. A new routine which allows the user to focus at a specific area of the substation and calculate the field has been developed in-house using MATLAB. The new routine calculates the magnetic field using a finite difference approach and allows a much better field resolution to be achieved in a specific area of interest within the substation.
