“…Smart grids have had severe economic difficulty with cyberattacks, particularly renewable energy resources with a high penetration level. Electricity markets are a mix of real-time and day-ahead trading [99,100]. The day-ahead market is primarily concerned with finding the most cost-effective solution to optimization and load forecasting problems.…”

Swift population growth and rising demand for energy in the 21st century have resulted in considerable efforts to make the electrical grid more intelligent and responsive to accommodate consumers’ needs better while enhancing the reliability and efficiency of modern power systems. Internet of Things (IoT) has appeared as one of the enabling technologies for smart energy grids by delivering abundant cutting-edge solutions in various domains, including critical infrastructures. As IoT-enabled devices continue to flourish, one of the major challenges is security issues, since IoT devices are connected through the Internet, thus making the smart grids vulnerable to a diverse range of cyberattacks. Given the possible cascading consequences of shutting down a power system, a cyberattack on a smart grid would have disastrous implications for the stability of all grid-connected infrastructures. Most of the gadgets in our homes, workplaces, hospitals, and on trains require electricity to run. Therefore, the entire grid is subject to cyberattacks when a single device is hacked. Such attacks on power supplies may bring entire cities to a standstill, resulting in massive economic losses. As a result, security is an important element to address before the large-scale deployment of IoT-based devices in energy systems. In this report, first, we review the architecture and infrastructure of IoT-enabled smart grids; then, we focus on major challenges and security issues regarding their implementation. Lastly, as the main outcome of this study, we highlight the advanced solutions and technologies that can help IoT-enabled smart grids be more resilient and secure in overcoming existing cyber and physical attacks. In this regard, in the future, the broad implementation of cutting-edge secure and data transmission systems based on blockchain techniques is necessary to safeguard the entire electrical grid against cyber-physical adversaries.

“…TVPP assures that the power system operates correctly and securely while taking into account the physical limitations and system support facilitation services provided by the VPP. The following are some of the functions delivered by the TVPP: (1) Determines fault location, (2) provides maintenance facilitation services, and (3) ensures that the power system is operating in an optimal safe way (Badar et al 2022).…”

Renewable energy sources are becoming more prevalent as a source of clean energy, and their integration into the power industry is speeding up. The fundamental reason for this is the growing global concern about climate change. However, the weather-dependent and uncertain nature of renewable generation raise questions about grid security particularly, when photovoltaics (PVs) and wind turbines (WTs) technologies are used. The incorporation of energy storage systems (ESS) in a virtual power plant (VPP) environment could compensate for the renewable generation's uncertainty. Where a VPP is a new concept that combines dispatchable and non-dispatchable energy sources, electrical loads, and energy storage units, enabling individual energy producers to participate in the electricity market. In this study, a market-based-VPP’s operational planning and design model is presented to assess the optimal active power dispatch of (WT, PV, and ESS) operating in the day-ahead electricity market to maximize social welfare (SW) considering the uncertainties associated with wind speed, solar irritation, and load demand. The Scenario-tree technique is applied to model the uncertainties of renewable energy sources and load demand. The proposed model performance is validated by simulation studies on a 16-bus UK generic distribution system (UKGDS). According to the simulation results, renewable energy sources and energy storage systems dispatched optimally active power to satisfy the load demand in the most efficient way possible.
