“…The presented work deals with the issues of utmost importance to achieve quality of service-aware (QoS-aware) communication in wireless and wired sensor networks based on standard communication protocols for the sensor networks around the SAS. The network consists of a system of distributed sensor nodes that interact among them and with infrastructure depending on applications in order to acquire, process, transfer, and provide information extracted from the physical world [31]. Those sensor nodes can be located anywhere and form an ad hoc network, which does not require a communication infrastructure.…”

The Antarctica is a continent mainly devoted to science with a big amount of sensors located in remote places for biological and geophysical purposes. The data from these sensors need to be sent either to the Antarctic stations or directly to the home country. For the last 15 years, La Salle has been working in the application of HF communications (3-30 MHz) with ionospheric reflection for data collection of remote sensors in Antarctica. We have developed and tested the several types of modulations, the frame structure, the radio-modem, and the antennas for two different scenarios. First, a long-range transequatorial (approximately 12,800 km) and low-power communication system is used as an alternative to satellites, which are often not visible from the poles. This distance is covered with a minimum of four hops with oblique incidence in the ionosphere. Second, a low-power system using near vertical incidence skywave (NVIS) communications provides coverage in a surface of approximately 200-250 km radius, a coverage much longer than any other systems operating in either the VHF or UHF band without the need of line of sight.

“…In addition, the demand for electricity is diversified, and the traditional power grid is inadequate to overcome modern day challenges. An intelligent electrical network, known as smart grid (SG) [3][4][5], is used for improving reliability of the power system by enabling the system to be controllable and automated [6][7][8]. The deployment of sensor technology and smart meters has been accelerating the development of smart grid [9,10].…”

The cooperative, reliable and responsive characteristics make smart grid more popular than traditional power grid. However, with the extensive employment of smart grid concepts, the traditional centralized control methods expose a lot of shortcomings, such as communication congestion, computing complexity in central management systems, and so on. The distributed control method with flexible characteristics can meet the timeliness and effectiveness of information management in smart grid and ensure the information collection timely and the power dispatch economically. This article presents a decentralized approach based on multi agent system (MAS) for solving data collection and economic dispatch problem of smart grid. First, considering the generators and loads are distributed on many nodes in the space, a flooding-based consensus algorithm is proposed to achieve generator and load information for each agent. Then, a suitable distributed algorithm called λ-consensus is used for solving the economic dispatch problem, eventually, all generators can automatically minimize the total cost in a collective sense. Simulation results in standard test cases are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

“…Therefore, society is increasing the adoption of renewable energy sources [ 4 ]. The Smart Grid (SG) refers to the addition of ICT infrastructure to the electrical domain (and the traditional electricity grid), and enables new services and opportunities that are guiding a revolution in the energy field [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…The convergence of the ICT infrastructure to the electrical domain (the SG), has enabled new services and opportunities (e.g., customer-side generation, real-time energy consumption, and accurate grid monitoring), which are guiding a significant revolution in the energy field [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. The SG envisions the improvement traditional of electric infrastructures in several dimensions [ 20 ] such as information, scalability and business models, to meet the highest standards of power quality and ensure that the electric power grid is cost-effective and sustainable [ 21 ].…”

Contrary to the rapid evolution experienced in the last decade of Information and Communication Technologies and particularly the Internet of Things, electric power distribution systems have remained exceptionally steady for a long time. Energy users are no longer passive actors; the prosumer is expected to be the primary agent in the Future Grid. Demand Side Management refers to the management of energy production and consumption at the demand side, and there seems to be an increasing concern about the scalability of Demand Side Management services. The creation of prosumer communities leveraging the Smart Grid to improve energy production and consumption patterns has been proposed in the literature, and several works concerned with scalability of Demand Side Management services group prosumers to improve Demand Side Management services scalability. In our previous work, we coin the term Social Internet of Energy to refer to the integration between devices, prosumers and groups of prosumers via social relationships. In this work, we develop an algorithm to coordinate the different clusters we create using the clustering method by load profile compatibility (instead of similarity). Our objective is to explore the possibilities of the cluster-by-compatibility heuristic we proposed in our previous work. We perform experiments using synthetic and real datasets. Results show that we can obtain a global reduction in Peak-to-Average Ratio with datasets containing up to 200 rosumers and creating up to 6 Prosumer Community Groups, and imply that those Prosumer Community Groups can perform load rescheduling semi-autonomously and in parallel with each other.
