  • State-Of-The-Art Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Distributed Smart
    electronics Review State-of-the-Art Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Distributed Smart Grids: A Review Syed Saqib Ali and Bong Jun Choi * School of Computer Science and Engineering, Soongsil University, Seoul 06978, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-820-0923 Received: 12 May 2020; Accepted: 10 June 2020; Published: 22 June 2020 Abstract: The power system worldwide is going through a revolutionary transformation due to the integration with various distributed components, including advanced metering infrastructure, communication infrastructure, distributed energy resources, and electric vehicles, to improve the reliability, energy efficiency, management, and security of the future power system. These components are becoming more tightly integrated with IoT. They are expected to generate a vast amount of data to support various applications in the smart grid, such as distributed energy management, generation forecasting, grid health monitoring, fault detection, home energy management, etc. With these new components and information, artificial intelligence techniques can be applied to automate and further improve the performance of the smart grid. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques to support various applications in a distributed smart grid. In particular, we discuss how artificial techniques are applied to support the integration of renewable energy resources, the integration of energy storage systems, demand response, management of the grid and home energy, and security. As the smart grid involves various actors, such as energy produces, markets, and consumers, we also discuss how artificial intelligence and market liberalization can potentially help to increase the overall social welfare of the grid.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

Kurzfassung Der vermehrte Einsatz von erneuerbaren Energien, welche nicht ständig verfügbar und nur begrenzt speicherbar sind, erschweren die Steuerung der Stromnetze. Zur Anpassung der Energieerzeugung an den tatsächlichen Bedarf werden Smart Grids („intelligente Stromnetze“) aufgebaut, die eine Steuerung des Energieverbrauchs in Abhängigkeit von der Verfügbarkeit ermöglichen. Die bereits vorhandenen Stromnetzte werden hierzu um Kommunikationsnetze erweitert. Smart Meter („intelligente Stromzähler“) die beim Verbraucher eingesetzt werden, senden über die Kommunikationsnetze Messdaten zyklisch an die jeweiligen Stromnetzbetreiber. In Zukunft soll auch eine Steuerung von Haushaltsgeräten möglich werden. Daraus ergeben sich neue Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Sicherheit und Datenschutz. Die hier vorliegende Arbeit bietet eine kurze Einführung in die Grundlagen zum Thema Smart Grid. Es wird eine Referenzarchitektur definiert und die einzelnen Bestandteile des Smart Grids werden vorgestellt. Eine Auseinandersetzung mit den rechtlichen und regulatorischen Rahmenbedingungen sowie ein Überblick über den Stand der Entwicklungen intelligenter Stromnetze, insbesondere der Verbreitung von Smart Metern, vervollständigt die Grundlagen. Zusätzlich werden wesentliche Aspekte von Sicherheit und Datenschutz angesprochen.

  • Review of Energy Management System Approaches in Microgrids
    energies Review Review of Energy Management System Approaches in Microgrids Amrutha Raju Battula 1 , Sandeep Vuddanti 1 and Surender Reddy Salkuti 2,* 1 Department of Electrical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Andhra Pradesh (NIT-AP), Tadepalligudem, Andhra Pradesh 534101, India; [email protected] (A.R.B.); [email protected] (S.V.) 2 Department of Railroad and Electrical Engineering, Woosong University, Daejeon 34606, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-10-9674-1985 Abstract: To sustain the complexity of growing demand, the conventional grid (CG) is incorporated with communication technology like advanced metering with sensors, demand response (DR), energy storage systems (ESS), and inclusion of electric vehicles (EV). In order to maintain local area energy balance and reliability, microgrids (MG) are proposed. Microgrids are low or medium voltage distribution systems with a resilient operation, that control the exchange of power between the main grid, locally distributed generators (DGs), and consumers using intelligent energy management techniques. This paper gives a brief introduction to microgrids, their operations, and further, a review of different energy management approaches. In a microgrid control strategy, an energy management system (EMS) is the key component to maintain the balance between energy resources (CG, DG, ESS, and EVs) and loads available while contributing the profit to utility. This article classifies the methodologies used for EMS based on the structure, control, and technique used. The untapped areas which have scope for investigation are also mentioned. Keywords: renewable energy sources; microgrid; energy management system; communication technologies; microgrid standards Citation: Battula, A.R.; Vuddanti, S.; Salkuti, S.R.

  • Status of High Level Architecture Real Time Platform Reference Federation
    STATUS OF HIGH LEVEL ARCHITECTURE REAL TIME PLATFORM REFERENCE FEDERATION OBJECT MODEL (RPR FOM) Peter Ryan1, Peter Ross1, Will Oliver1, and Lucien Zalcman2 1Air Operations Division, Defence Science & Technology Organisation (DSTO), 506 Lorimer St, Fishermans Bend, Melbourne, Victoria 3001. Email: [email protected] 2Zalcman Consulting. Email [email protected] ABSTRACT Several advanced distributed simulation architectures and protocols are currently in use to provide simulation interoperability among Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) simulation systems. Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) and High Level Architecture (HLA) are the most commonly used protocols/architectures in the simulation community. HLA is a general purpose architecture for distributed computer simulation systems. To enable HLA federates to interoperate with DIS systems, the Real Time Platform Reference Federation Object Model (RPR FOM) was developed. The RPR FOM defines HLA classes, attributes and parameters that are appropriate for real-time, platform-level simulations. This paper provides a discussion of the current interoperability standards, an update on the status of the RPR FOM, and the implications for Australia. 1. INTRODUCTION Advanced Distributed Simulation (ADS) protocols and architectures were created so that various Live-Virtual- Constructive (LVC) systems could interoperate with each other in a simulated game or exercise in the same synthetic battlespace [1]. The simulation nodes may be collocated or may be geographically remote from each other. Interoperability among such LVC systems can be improved using a specifically designed set of predefined interoperability standards. Such predefined sets of interoperability standards are commonly referred to as Modelling and Simulation Standards Profiles (such as the NATO Modelling and Simulation Standards Profile [2]).
