Asri; Gungor, Vehbi CagriIn smart cities, the electricity is an essential component since it preserves a certain level of residents' life quality and provisions the entire spectrum of their economic activities. Thus, a smart way is essential to develop cities without disregarding energy issues. In this scope, the smart grid paradigm offers power supply in an efficient, sustainable and economical manner with minimal impact on the environment and can meet the future energy demands. However, real-time monitoring and control of the smart grid (SG) for continuous and quality-aware power supply in smart cities (SCs) is challenging and requires an advanced quality of service (QoS)-aware communication framework. In this context, this research aims to present a novel data-gathering scheme by using the Internet of software-defined mobile sinks (SDMSs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in the smart grid. The extensive simulation results conducted through the EstiNet9.0 indicate that the designed scheme outperforms existing approaches and achieves its defined goals for events-drive applications in the SG.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 10Security and Privacy Challenges, Solutions, and Open Issues in Smart Metering: A Review(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021-09-15) Win, Lae Lae; Tonyali, SametThe traditional power grid becomes ‘smart’ when it is combined with the communication and information technology. Along with smart grid, the traditional meter is replaced with smart meter. Smart meters play an important role in energy consumption reporting and, thereby, billing. Besides smart meters, the smart grid communication network is composed of heterogeneous devices that are communicating through public networks. Therefore, smart metering communications are susceptible to cyber-attacks and privacy breaches which are still under debating. This paper gives a brief overview of smart grid, smart metering, and the communication networks. Then, the privacy and security requirements of the smart grid network are derived. The various kind of cyber-attacks are discussed, after that, the different schemes and approaches that have been proposed in previous papers are reviewed. Lastly, the open issues on security and privacy of smart grid metering communications are highlighted. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Performance Evaluations of Next Generation Networks for Smart Grid Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-04) Tuna, Gürkan; Ayana, Esra Kaya; Gülez, Kayhan; Kiokes, George C.; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Kaya, EsraSmart Grid (SG) can be described as the concept of modernizing the traditional electrical grid. Through the addition of SG technologies traditional electrical grids become more flexible, robust and interactive, and are able to provide real time feedback by employing innovative services and products together with communication, control, intelligent monitoring, and self-healing technologies. For being fully functional, utility operators deploy various SG applications to handle the key requirements including delivery optimization, demand optimization and asset optimization needs. The SG applications can be categorized into two main classes: grid-focused applications and customer-focused applications. Although these applications differ in terms of security, Quality of Service (QoS) and reliability, their common requirement is a communication infrastructure. In this paper, we focus on the use of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) for SG applications. We also present a detailed analysis of a NGN-based communication infrastructure for SG applications in terms of global network statistics and node-level statistics. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10PI-Controlled ANN-Based Energy Consumption Forecasting for Smart Grids(SciTePress, 2015) Gezer, Gülsüm; Tuna, Gürkan; Κogias, DImitrios G.; Gülez, Kayhan; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Kogias, DimitrisAlthough Smart Grid (SG) transformation brings many advantages to electric utilities, the longstanding challenge for all them is to supply electricity at the lowest cost. In addition, currently, the electric utilities must comply with new expectations for their operations, and address new challenges such as energy efficiency regulations and guidelines, possibility of economic recessions, volatility of fuel prices, new user profiles and demands of regulators. In order to meet all these emerging economic and regulatory realities, the electric utilities operating SGs must be able to determine and meet load, implement new technologies that can effect energy sales and interact with their customers for their purchases of electricity. In this respect, load forecasting which has traditionally been done mostly at city or country level can address such issues vital to the electric utilities. In this paper, an artificial neural network based energy consumption forecasting system is proposed and the efficiency of the proposed system is shown with the results of a set of simulation studies. The proposed system can provide valuable inputs to smart grid applications. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Next Generation Networks for Telecommunications Operators Providing Services to Transnational Smart Grid Operators(SciTePress, 2015) Tuna, Gürkan; Kiokes, George C.; Zountouridou, Erietta I.; Güngör, Vehbi ÇağrıDue to the networking expertise, services and technical support of telecommunications operators, Smart Grid (SG) operators prefer telecommunications operators for their communications needs instead of creating private networks. In this paper, the use of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) by telecommunications operators to provide services to transnational SG operators for SG applications is evaluated. NGNs are all IP networks which are packet based and use IP to transport the various types of traffic such as data, voice, video, and signalling over converged fixed and mobile networks. The main idea of transnational SG operators is simple. By creating a huge single infrastructure for energy, more than one countries and nations can be powered at once. For this, it is not needed to install very huge power plants. Simply creating a complex network of power grid connections to each participating country is enough. The results of a set of simulation studies are given to show the efficiency of the NGN-based communication infrastructure for SG applications in terms of important network performance metrics. The results show that NGN-based communication infrastructures can carry packets based on their priority levels and bandwidth allocations in order to meet the specific requirements of SG applications. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Is the Smart Grid a Good Investment(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-04) Onen, Ahmet; Broadwater, Robert P.Electric distribution design and operational goals include meeting customer reliability requirements at the lowest cost. Smart Grid investments have the potential for helping meet these goals, and this paper presents a series of analyses that evaluate the incremental economic benefits of smart grid automation investments. Smart Grid investments provide a number of benefits to customers. Here only benefits that can be objectively quantified in terms of economic savings are considered. Smart Grid automation investments in this work include investments in feeder efficiency, automated switches, and coordinated control of capacitor banks, voltage regulators and load tab changers. Benefits that come from these investments are improved efficiency, reduced demand, shortened storm restoration time, and improved performance during reconfiguration events. The analyses used in the evaluation are very detailed, involving hourly, quasi-steady state power flow analysis over a ten year period for calculating energy consumption and costs, and Monte Carlo simulations for six different storm types. The evaluation shows that similar to other industries, an investment in automation can be justified in terms of hard dollars. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object In-Pipe Electrical Machine Design for Smart Clean Water Grid Monitoring and Control Stations(IEEE, 2025-06-11) Erkan, Murat; Boynuegri, Ali Rifat; Tekgun, BurakThis study presents the design of an electric machine intended to supply the electrical energy required for the operation of electronic devices and mechanical equipment that form part of a clean water smart grid network powered by renewable energy sources. The proposed machine is a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), specifically designed to operate under realistic physical and hydraulic conditions within clean water distribution infrastructure. The in-pipe turbine responsible for driving the rotor of the generator was selected based on findings from a symposium paper identified through a comprehensive literature review. The daily energy requirements of the smart grid's electronic and industrial mechanical components were both theoretically estimated and experimentally validated, leading to the selection of a suitable energy storage unit. Pressure data from the clean water distribution line located on the street of the design office was measured and recorded at one second intervals over a 24-hour period. Using this dataset, the optimal hydraulic conditions and time frame for battery charging were identified from the pressure-time profile. A representative duty cycle was then defined, and the performance analysis of the in-pipe permanent magnet synchronous generator was carried out accordingly.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 12Ambient Energy Harvesting for Low Powered Wireless Sensor Network Based Smart Grid Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-04) Faheem, Muhammed Yasir; Ashraf, Muhammad Waqar; Butt, Rizwan Aslam; Raza, Basit; Ngadi, M. A.; Güngör, Vehbi ÇağrıLimited battery lifetime is one of the most critical issues for wireless sensor networks (WSNs)-based smart grid (SG) applications. Recently, ambient energy harvesting (AEH) has been considered to significantly improve the network lifetime of the WSNs-based SG applications. However, extracting a significant amount of energy from the ambient energy resource due to time varying links quality affected by power grid environments is the main issue for WSNs-based applications in SG. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-source energy harvesting mechanisms for WSNs-based SG applications. The propose hybrid ambient energy harvesting framework through the designed circuitry successfully harvests massive power density by capturing the radial electric field (EF) and ambient radio frequency WiFi 2.4GHz band signals present in the vicinity of 500kV power grid station. The design energy harvesting schemes have been implemented on the recently developed routing protocol for SG applications. The experiments using EstiNet9.0, demonstrate that the designed framework is efficient in terms of energy harvesting capabilities to enable a long-lasting lifetime of the WSNs-based smart grid applications. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 29A Hybrid Energy Harvesting Framework for Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks Based Smart Grid Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-06) Yildiz, Huseyin Ugur; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Tavli, BülentIn smart grid applications, Wireless Sensor Net-works (WSNs) which consist of battery limited sensor nodes are used on critical equipments of power distribution grids for monitoring purposes. WSN nodes have tight energy constraints hence it is important to reduce the energy consumption of sensor nodes due to harsh propagation characteristics of smart grid environment. One possible way to reduce the energy consumption is to utilize transmission power control where transmission powers are adjusted according to channel conditions. Another technique is to employ energy harvesting schemes to provide additional power for nodes by using environmental energy sources. Solar and electromagnetic energies are two possible environmental energy sources in outdoor substation environments. Solar energy can be efficiently exploited in a sunny day. On the other hand, electromagnetic energy can be used at any time. In this work, we propose a hybrid energy harvesting model that exploits both solar and electromagnetic energies and develop a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) method to minimize the energy dissipation of sensor nodes. By using the MIP framework, we quantify the impact of the proposed hybrid energy harvesting model as well as transmission power control on the energy saving of nodes. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
