“…The EMS optimization criterion can be satisfied by using a number of optimization algorithms [5,103,107], which can be carried out in advance and/or in real-time depending on the kind of services to provide [108]. The most important optimization algorithms are summed up in Table 1; each of these presents advantages and drawbacks, thus its employment is strictly related to the specific optimization criterion and inherent features of the system to optimize.…”

“…Particularly, conventional power plants and ESSs are intended to compensate for poor programmability and intermittency of RES in order to ensure proper electricity supply. In this context, the employment of suitable energy management systems (EMSs) is of paramount importance for integrating DERs into DNs, namely for enabling smart grid (SG) paradigm [5,7,8]. These concepts seem unavoidable for achieving a sustainable electricity infrastructure, i.e.…”

“…In this scenario, distributed energy resources (DERs) cover a fundamental role for enabling smart power systems; DERs consist of a combination of energy storage systems (ESSs), RES and 2 of 26 conventional power plants, which act as local generation sources in DNs [5,6]. Consumers/prosumers with multiple DERs and/or ESSs in the DN will be coordinated to form integrated energy systems, such as microgrids (MGs), virtual power plants (VPP), energy hubs (EHs) or multi-energy systems (MESs), in order to achieve appropriate and efficient operation and management.…”

Electric power systems are experiencing relevant changes involving the growing penetration of distributed generation and energy storage systems, the introduction of electric vehicles, the management of responsive loads, the proposals for new energy markets and so on. Such evolution is pushing for a paradigm shift: the management must move from traditional planning and manual intervention to full "smartization" of medium and low voltage networks. Peculiarities and criticalities of future power distribution networks originate from the complexity of the system that includes both the physical aspects of electric networks and the cyber aspects, like data elaboration, feature extraction, communication, supervision and control; only fully integrated advanced monitoring systems can foster this transition towards network automation. The design and development of such future networks require distinct kinds of expertise in the industrial and information engineering fields. In this context, this paper provides a comprehensive review of current challenges and multidisciplinary interactions in the development of smart distribution networks.

“…The power imbalance is a common scenario in MGs, being caused by the discontinuity in the energy generation or by the changes in the power demand. Nowadays, adequate strategies have been developed to manage the power dispatch in the MGs, which can be: centralized, decentralized or distributed [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Practical Analysis and Design of a Battery Management System for a Grid-Connected DC Microgrid for the Reduction of the Tariff Cost and Battery Life Maximization

This study is focused on two areas: the design of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for a grid-connected DC Microgrid and the power management of that microgrid. The power management is performed by a Microgrid Central Controller (MGCC). A Microgrid operator provides daily information to the MGCC about the photovoltaic generation profile, the load demand profile, and the real-time prices of the electricity in order to plan the power interchange between the BESS and the main grid, establishing the desired state of charge (SOC) of the batteries at any time. The main goals of the power management strategy under study are to minimize the cost of the electricity that is imported from the grid and to maximize battery life by means of an adequate charging procedure, which sets the charging rate as a function of the MG state. Experimental and simulation results in many realistic scenarios demonstrate that the proposed methodology achieves a proper power management of the DC microgrid.

Power networks are among the most critical infrastructures of any society, since other infrastructures are dependent on power and energy systems. Recently, there has been a trend toward harnessing Information Technology (IT) in power networks to enhance their performance and improve their consumer centricity. This movement, however, has exposed power systems to cyberattacks. Among various types of cyber intrusions, False Data Injection Attack (FDIA) is the most important one, since it stealthily intercepts the legitimate traffic and/or injects malicious data into the system, thus resulting in severe physical and economic damages. There has been a substantial increase in the number of reported FDIAs in recent years, which indicates the necessity of extensive research on vulnerabilities of power systems to FDIAs, probable attack models, impacts of such intrusions, and the possible preventive and detective measures. On this basis, this article presents a comprehensive review of FDIAs in power networks, with a particular focus on attack targets and adversarial methods. Additionally, it elaborates on various types of FDIAs, their implementation steps and strategies, and the vulnerabilities of various components and schemes to this type of attack. Finally, the it briefly discusses FDIA detection techniques in power grids.
