“…For this reason, it is necessary to be able to delimit the different levels of access within a grid, and in this way gain in security. In this sense, Angioni et al (2018) [144] propose a separate and defined architecture.…”

New technological advances based on software, hardware and new materials must be implemented in smart grids. In addition, these advanced electrical grids must incorporate elements of artificial intelligence. Advances in software development must be complemented with the development of new hardware (power electronics and active distribution among others). The aforementioned must rely on the development of new materials and sensors, which should be integrated into the smart grid. Therefore, the four areas of research based on the technologies are: Operation and Control, Maintenance and Lifespan Management, Grid Planning and Design, and Metering. The review presents the algorithms, materials, devices and others paradigms applied to smart grids, classifying the works according to the four areas of research. This review has focused on the four fundamental pillars of smart grids, on the one hand, the need for more efficient operation and control, followed by advanced maintenance management, to continue planning and designing the new grids, and for conclude with the advanced measurement. As you will see in the article, new devices, new techniques, and future scenarios will make possible the transition from the current grid to the future smart grid.

Multi-terminal DC (MTDC) grids based on voltage source converters (VSCs) are a promising option to integrate the increasing share of generation from the distributed energy resources (DERs) both in the transmission and distribution grids. However, with the broader use of VSCs for the transmission and distribution grid, there is an absence of a standardised data model for the VSC. In this work, the authors propose an IEC 61850 based data model for VSCs and an existing IEC 61850 model is extended for the dual-active bridge (DAB) converter as an interlink between various DC terminals and the modular multilevel converter (MMC). Furthermore, a generic data modelling guideline is proposed for intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), which are responsible for the interoperability among converters in the MTDC grid. The implementation of the real-time monitoring system of a hybrid AC-DC MTDC grid with the proposed IED is presented as an exemplary case. Through experimental tests of this MTDC grid, it is shown that the proposed IED meets the latency requirements for P2 through P6 class of monitoring, protection, and control applications according to the IEC 61850 standard. The automation architecture presented in this work is also validated for interoperability within the MTDC grid.

“…The IDE4L automation architecture for distribution grid is decentralized and modular and it is specified in terms of interfaces, database and grid monitoring & control applications [7]. One of the major actors in the IDE4L architecture is the SAU, which is responsible for the monitoring and control of individual segments of the distribution grid, as shown in an example in Fig.1.…”

Abstract-The distribution automation system is vital for the safe and reliable operation of distribution grids. Typically, the automation architectures are either centralized or hierarchical. The monitoring and controlling of the grid is done by dedicated actors like the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and the Distribution Management Systems (DMS) or the Substation Automation Units (SAUs). These actors are deployed in dedicated machines and thus become a single point of failure in the automation system. Hence, the chances of blackouts are increased when any of these dedicated machines are compromised (due to either cyber-attacks or natural calamities). Therefore, special measures have to be taken that enable the migration of the functionalities of SCADA/DMS/SAU to a clean new machine, when the previous machine is compromised. This ensures higher availability and resilience of grid monitoring and control applications. This study presents the feasibility of using CALVIN IoT framework for providing such resiliency. A basic architecture for enabling the migration strategies with CALVIN is proposed and implemented. The results show that the CALVIN framework is a promising solution in providing resilience to the distribution grid automation.
