“…To achieve DR, electricity customers are offered low prices for electricity during off-peak hours and a high price during peak periods. Studies have shown that DR programs are capable of reducing the system peak by up to about 9% [27][28][29]. Examples of the price-based DR programs are the real-time price (RTP), the critical-peak price (CPP), and the time-of-use (ToU) programs.…”

Electricity consumption in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has grown at an annual rate of about 7% as a result of population and economic growth. The consumption of the residential sector accounts for over 50% of the total energy generation. Moreover, the energy consumption of air-conditioning (AC) systems has become 70% of residential buildings’ total electricity consumption in the summer months, leading to a high peak electricity demand. This study investigates solutions that will tackle the problem of high energy demand associated with KSA’s air-conditioning needs in residential buildings. To reduce the AC energy consumption in the residential sector, we propose the use of smart control in the thermostat settings. Smart control can be utilized by (i) scheduling and advance control of the operation of AC systems and (ii) remotely setting the thermostats appropriately by the utilities. In this study, we model typical residential buildings and, crucially, occupancy behavior based on behavioral data obtained through a survey. The potential impacts in terms of achievable electricity savings of different AC operation modes for residential houses of Riyadh city are presented. The results from our computer simulations show that the solutions intended to reduce energy consumption effectively, particularly in the advance mode of operation, resulted in a 30% to 40% increase in total annual energy savings.

“…One of the most important characteristics of microgrids is that the distributed power sources are in close proximity to the end users [46]. A smart microgrid will further allow for power and data to flow both ways between the supply and demand ends of the grid, enabling demand response functionality [47]. The communication infrastructure, known as "Advanced Metering Infrastructure," uses smart meters to enable two-way interaction, such that demand and supply are linked and are able to manage peak demands by sending signals to the customers.…”

Microreactors, also known as very-Small Modular Reactors (vSMRs) or Special Purpose Reactors (SPRs), are being considered for use in unique applications where other methods of megawatt level energy production are uneconomical or unavailable. For the purposes of this report, a microreactor is defined as meeting the following criteria:• Factory manufacturable • Easily transportable by truck, plane, train, and/or ship • Produce no more than 20 megawatt thermal (MWth) energy, in order to qualify as Hazard Category 2 under 10CFR830 • Maintains neutronic simplicity, allowing semi-or fully-autonomous operationIn the United States (U.S.), there are two general types of microreactors under development: high-temperature gas reactors (HTGRs) and heat pipe reactors. These two reactor types may, due to their differences in working fluid temperatures, be more effectively suited to different use cases. Additionally, they will require different interfacing components depending on their intended use.This report identifies a broad range of use cases for micro-reactors. Additionally, multiple reactor technologies are examined with an emphasis on the reactor sub-systems and interconnections. Using this information, a decision support framework is developed to guide future efforts.

“…[8] To enable the services of the reaction of these demands, it is a necessary data format standardized communication method. [7,8,9,10] It means openADR and open automated DR, refers to a standard communication protocol applied to intelligent DR. This protocol is, the development of commercial openADR system, test, and in order to support the deployment, developed in openADR Alliance [11], which was established in the center of the industry participants in 2010, demand is based on the sustainability and reliability reaction which is a standard protocol.…”

Recently, various methods for efficient power consumption for managing power demand, which has increased rapidly, have been proposed. The most typical way, are expanding smart grid-based demand response services. In this paper, we analyze the security vulnerabilities of the protocol openADR the core protocols of the power demand response services. Using the open source of the most generally used to have openADR protocol in the current demand response system, to construct a demand response service network. Analyze the vulnerabilities of various attacks in real demand response service network and similar environment presented a scheme that can overcome the vulnerability.
