    Smart Grid Communication and Information Technologies in the Perspective of Industry 4.0: Opportunities and Challenges
    (Elsevier, 2018-11) Faheem, M.; Shah, S. B. H.; Butt, R. A.; Raza, B.; Anwar, M.; Ashraf, M. W.; Gungor, V. C.
    The fourth industrial revolution known as Industry 4.0 has paved the way for a systematical deployment of the modernized power grid (PG) to manage continuously growing energy demand by integrating renewable energy resources. In the context of Industry 4.0, a smart grid (SG) by employing advanced Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), intelligent information processing (IIP) and future-oriented techniques (FoT) allows energy utilities to monitor and control power generation, transmission and distribution processes in more efficient, flexible, reliable, sustainable, decentralized, secure and economic manners. Despite providing immense opportunities, SG has many challenges in the context of Industry 4.0 (I 4.0). To this end, this paper presents a comprehensive presentation on critical smart grid components with international standards and information technologies in the context of Industry 4.0. In addition, this study gives an overview of different smart grid applications, their benefits, characteristics, and requirements. Also, this research investigates and explores different wired and wireless communication technologies used in smart grid with their benefits and characteristics. Finally, this article discusses a number of critical challenges and open issues and future research directions. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    On the Lifetime Analysis of Energy Harvesting Sensor Nodes in Smart Grid Environments
    (Elsevier, 2018-06) Erdem, H. E.; Gungor, V. C.
    Smart grids represent the future of power generation, distribution and transmission systems. Integration of renewable energy sources with fluctuating power output into the grid requires constant monitoring of grid assets. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) provide an efficient monitoring infrastructure for data collection from multiple locations for extended periods. The aim of this study is to investigate the lifetime of the energy harvesting WSN nodes inside a substation, where the sensor nodes exploit the abundant electromagnetic field in the substation environment. Performance results show that the impact of harvesters on node lifetime is crucial compared to available power management systems, when realistic substation channel conditions are considered.

    MGRP: Mobile Sinks-Based QoS-Aware Data Gathering Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks-Based Smart Grid Applications in the Context of Industry 4.0-Based on Internet of Things
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2018-05) Faheem, Muhammad; Gungor, V. C.
    The recent advances in internet of things (IoT) and industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) paradigm provide a promising opportunity for upgrading todays elderly electricity industrial systems and even allow the fourth stage of the industrial revolution, referred to as smart grid industry (SGI) 4.0. In SGI 4.0 paradigm, the WSNs are considered as promising solutions due to their advantages, such as cable replacement, ease of deployment, flexibility, and cost reduction. However, harsh and complex smart grid (SG) environments pose great challenges to guarantee reliable communication for WSNs-based SG applications due to equipment noise, electromagnetic interference, multipath effects and fading in SG environments. This results in deteriorating the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements as well as the network lifetime of multi-hop communication-based WSNs for SG applications. Thus, for SGI 4.0 paradigm to come true, a WSN-based highly reliable communication infrastructure is crucial that will wirelessly connect and integrate power system components for more efficient, reliable, and intelligent operations of the next-generation electricity power grids. To address these challenges, in this paper a novel multi-mobile sinks-based QoS-aware data gathering protocol (called MQRP) for WSNs-based SG applications has been proposed to empower SGI 4.0. The extensive simulations study is carried through a network simulation tool called EstiNet9.0. The obtained experimental facts show that the proposed scheme has not only improved the QoS performance metrics, such as packet delivery ratio, memory utilization, control message overhead, residual energy, network lifetime, and throughput, but also reduced packet error rate and end-to-end delay compared to existing data collection schemes.

    Energy Efficient and QoS-Aware Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network-Based Smart Grid Applications in the Context of Industry 4.0
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2018-07) Faheem, M.; Gungor, V. C.
    Recently, there have been great advances in internet of things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) leading to the fourth industrial revolution in power grid, namely, Smart Grid Industry 4.0 (SGI 4.0). In the Smart Grid Industry 4.0 framework, the WSNs have the potential to improve power grid efficiency by cable replacement, deployment flexibility, and cost reduction. However, the smart grid (SG) environment that the WSNs operate in is very challenging because of equipment noise, dust, heat, electromagnetic interference, multipath effects and fading, which make it difficult for current WSNs to provide reliable communication. For SGI 4.0 to come true, a WSN-based highly reliable communication infrastructure is essential for successful operation of the next-generation electricity power grids. To address this need, in this paper a novel dynamic clustering based energy efficient and quality-of-service (QoS)-aware routing protocol (called EQRP), which is inspired by the real behavior of the bird mating optimization (BMO), has been proposed. The proposed distributed scheme improves network reliability significantly and reduces excessive packets retransmissions for WSN-based SG applications. Performance results show that the proposed protocol has successfully reduced the end-to-end delay and has improved packet delivery ratio, memory utilization, residual energy, and throughput.
