    Routing Protocol Design Guidelines for Smart Grid Environments
    (Elsevier, 2014-02) Temel, Samil; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri; Kocak, Taskin
    The evaluation of the current electric power grid with novel communication facilities is one of the most challenging and exciting issues of the 21st century. The modern grid technology is called the smart grid in the sense that it utilizes digital communication technologies to monitor and control the grid environments, which ultimately require novel communication techniques to be adapted to the system. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have. recently been considered as a cost-effective technology for the realization of reliable remote monitoring systems for smart grid. However, problems such as noise, interference and fading in smart grid environments, make reliable and energy-efficient multi-hop routing a difficult task for WSNs in smart grid. Our main goal is to describe advantages and applications of WSNs for smart grid and motivate the research community to further investigate this promising research area. In this study we have investigated and experimented some of the well-known on-demand, table-driven and QoS-aware routing protocols, in terms of packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and energy consumption to show the advantages and disadvantages of each routing protocol type in different smart grid spectrum environments. The environmental characteristics which are based on real-world field tests are injected into ns-2 Network Simulator and the performance of four different multi-hop routing protocols is investigated. Also, we have shown that traditional multi-hop routing protocols cannot deliver adequate performance on smart grid environments. Hence, based on our simulation results, we present some guidelines on how to design routing protocols specifically for smart grid environments. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Quality-of Differentiation in Single-Path and Multi-Path Routing for Wireless Sensor Network-Based Smart Grid Applications
    (Elsevier, 2014-11) Sahin, Dilan; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri; Kocak, Taskin; Tuna, Gurkan
    Electrical grid is one of the most important infrastructure of the modern nation. However, power grid has been aged over 100 years and prone to major failures. The imbalance between power demand and supply, the equipment failures and the lack of comprehensive monitoring and control capabilities are other important signs to take incremental steps for switching to a smarter power grid with effective communication, automation and monitoring skills. This new concept is named as smart grid, which is a modern power grid system with advanced communication, monitoring, sensing and control capabilities. Wireless sensor network (WSN) concept places an important role in this modernization process of the power grid with its efficient and low-cost deployment characteristics. However, harsh and complex smart grid environmental conditions, dynamic topology changes, connectivity problems, interference and fading may pose some challenges for the communication performance of WSN technology. For this objective, in this paper, the use of multi-path and single-path QoS-aware routing algorithms under harsh SG environmental conditions is investigated in order to evaluate their service differentiation capabilities in reliability and timeliness domains. In this regard, this study is an important step towards developing novel routing protocols specifically designed for smart grid environments. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. 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.

    Big Data Acquired by Internet of Things-Enabled Industrial Multichannel Wireless Sensors Networks for Active Monitoring and Control in the Smart Grid Industry 4.0
    (Elsevier, 2021-04) Faheem, Muhammad; Fizza, Ghulam; Ashraf, Muhammad Waqar; Butt, Rizwan Aslam; Ngadi, Md. Asri; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    Smart Grid Industry 4.0 (SGI4.0) defines a new paradigm to provide high-quality electricity at a low cost by reacting quickly and effectively to changing energy demands in the highly volatile global markets. However, in SGI4.0, the reliable and efficient gathering and transmission of the observed information from the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled Cyberphysical systems, such as sensors located in remote places to the control center is the biggest challenge for the Industrial Multichannel Wireless Sensors Networks (IMWSNs). This is due to the harsh nature of the smart grid environment that causes high noise, signal fading, multipath effects, heat, and electromagnetic interference, which reduces the transmission quality and trigger errors in the IMWSNs. Thus, an efficient monitoring and real-time control of unexpected changes in the power generation and distribution processes is essential to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) re-quirements in the smart grid. In this context, this paper de-scribes the dataset contains measurements acquired by the IMWSNs during events monitoring and control in the smart grid. This work provides an updated detail comparison of our proposed work, including channel detection, channel assign-ment, and packets forwarding algorithms, collectively called CARP [1] with existing G-RPL [2] and EQSHC [3] schemes in the smart grid. The experimental outcomes show that the dataset and is useful for the design, development, testing, and validation of algorithms for real-time events monitoring and control applications in the smart grid.

    A Survey on Wireless Sensor Networks for Smart Grid
    (Elsevier, 2015-11) Fadel, Etimad; Gungor, V. C.; Nassef, Laila; Akkari, Nadine; Maik, M. G. Abbas; Almasri, Suleiman; Akyildiz, Ian F.; Abbas Malik, M.G.
    The traditional power grid in many countries suffers from high maintenance costs and scalability issues along with the huge expense of building new power stations, and lack of efficient system monitoring that could increase the overall performance by acting proactively in preventing potential failures. To address these problems, a next-generation electric power system, called the smart grid (SG), has been proposed as an evolutionary system for power generation, transmission, and distribution. To this end, the SGs utilize renewable energy generation, smart meters and modern sensing and communication technologies for effective power system management, and hence, succeeding in addressing many of the requirements of a modern power grid system while significantly increase its performance. Recently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been recognized as a promising technology to achieve seamless, energy efficient, reliable, and low-cost remote monitoring and control in SG applications. In these systems, the required information can be provided to electric utilities by wireless sensor systems to enable them to achieve high system efficiency. The real-time information gathered from these sensors can be analyzed to diagnose problems early and serve as a basis for taking remedial action. In this paper, first WSN-based SG applications have been explored along with their technical challenges. Then, design challenges and protocol objectives have been discussed for WSN-based SG applications. After exploring applications and design challenges, communication protocols for WSN-based SG applications have been explained in detail. Here, our goal is to elaborate on the role of WSNs for smart grid applications and to provide an overview of the most recent advances in MAC and routing protocols for WSNs in this timely and exciting field.
