“…In this regard, high dependence of RESs on environmental factors like solar irradiance and wind speed could result in abrupt changes in the net-load of the system, when the power generation by RESs suddenly drop [4]. In this regard, duck curve, which is seen for example in California electricity network, is one of the newly emerged issues in systems with high-penetration of RESs [5][6][7].…”

“…In this regard, (4) represents the cost associated with each of the operational scenarios; which includes the operational cost of dispatchable generation units (DGs), cost of battery discharging, load shedding cost, and the costs associated with the power exchange with the main grid. Moreover, (5) shows the conditional value at risk (CVaR), which is taken into account to model the risk of operational scheduling in the MG. In this regard,  (i.e.…”

“…In these schemes, information is encoded in the particle's quantum state, which cannot be copied, and any attempt to do so can be detected. Therefore, the critical aspect is unconditional information security which is impossible with classical information processing [142] . The most exciting benefit of using quantum-secured information is that the lifetime of the security is "infinite" , i.e.…”

Electric power systems provide the backbone of modern industrial societies. Enabling scalable grid analytics is the keystone to successfully operating large transmission and distribution systems. However, today' s power systems are suffering from everincreasing computational burdens in sustaining the expanding communities and deep integration of renewable energy resources, as well as managing huge volumes of data accordingly. These unprecedented challenges call for transformative analytics to support the resilient operations of power systems. Recently, the explosive growth of quantum computing techniques has ignited new hopes of revolutionizing power system computations. Quantum computing harnesses quantum mechanisms to solve traditionally intractable computational problems, which may lead to ultra-scalable and efficient power grid analytics. This paper reviews the newly emerging application of quantum computing techniques in power systems. We present a comprehensive overview of existing quantum-engineered power analytics from different operation perspectives, including static analysis, transient analysis, stochastic analysis, optimization, stability, and control. We thoroughly discuss the related quantum algorithms, their benefits and limitations, hardware implementations, and recommended practices. We also review the quantum networking techniques to ensure secure communication of power systems in the quantum era. Finally, we discuss challenges and future research directions. This paper will hopefully stimulate increasing attention to the development of quantum-engineered smart grids.

“…Microgrids, as a localized self-governing distribution network, are oriented to supply electricity for a local community, and have been proven to be potent for enhancing electricity resilience [3]. Networking a group of local microgrids greatly promotes the coordination of microgrids for achieving various benefits such as supporting smart city operations and helping sustain neighboring distribution grids during extreme events [4], [5].…”

Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides a potent solution to securely distribute keys for two parties. However, QKD itself is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks. A flexible and resilient QKD-enabled networked microgrids (NMs) architecture is needed but does not yet exist. In this article, we present a programmable quantum NMs (PQNMs) architecture. It is a novel framework that integrates both QKD and software-defined networking (SDN) techniques capable of enabling scalable, programmable, quantum-engineered, and ultra-resilient NMs. Equipped with a software-defined adaptive post-processing approach, a two-level key pool sharing strategy and an SDN-enabled event-triggered communication scheme, these PQNMs mitigate the impact of DoS attacks through programmable post-processing and secure key sharing among QKD links, a capability unattainable using existing technologies. Through comprehensive evaluations, we validate the benefits of PQNMs and demonstrate the efficacy of the presented strategies under various circumstances. Extensive results provide insightful resources for building QKD-enabled NMs in practice.INDEX TERMS Networked microgrids, quantum key distribution, software-defined networking.
