“…The end-user can, for example, alter their habits, and shift the demand to off-peak hours in response to dynamic pricing programs such as time of use, real time pricing, critical peak timing or to incentivize payment when grid reliability is low [ 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Demand response can also be an automated part of home energy management systems, where certain appliances or lighting can be turned off to reduce consumption [ 48 ]. Demand side management or demand response can be used to reduce power constraint, shift peak load, reduce distribution losses, and regulate voltage drops and avoid or postpone the need for building new power lines [ 29 , 49 ].…”

With the ongoing trends in the energy sector such as vehicular electrification and renewable energy, the Smart Grid (SG) is clearly playing a more and more important role in the electric power system industry. One essential feature of the SG is the information flow over high-speed, reliable, and secure data communication networks in order to manage the complex power systems effectively and intelligently. SGs utilize bidirectional communication to function whereas traditional power grids mainly only use one-way communication. The communication requirements and suitable techniques differ depending on the specific environment and scenario. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive and up-to-date survey on the communication technologies used in the SG, including the communication requirements, physical layer technologies, network architectures, and research challenges. This survey aims to help the readers identify the potential research problems in the continued research on the topic of SG communications.

“…From the consumer side, demand response gives the end-user the ability to monitor its energy consumption and production where appropriate and cost at any given time, and for example alter habits to shift the demand to off-peak hours in response dynamic pricing programs such as time of use, real time pricing, critical peak timing or to incentive payment when grid reliability is low [38][39][40]. Demand response can also be an automated part of home energy management systems, where certain appliances or lighting can be turned off to reduce consumption [41]. Demand side management or demand response can be used to reduce power constraint, shift peak load, reduce distribution losses and regulate voltage drops and avoid or postpone the need for building new power lines [26,42].…”

“…The smart and clean grid is the inevitable trend of future power grid development [ 1 , 2 ]. In the application of the smart grid, it is necessary to use high-frequency semiconductor devices and converters to achieve power conversion and energy distribution [ 3 , 4 ]. Technology based on capacitive coupling can be used for the non-contact measurement of voltage [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ], while non-intrusive current sensing techniques are still evolving.…”

With the accelerated construction of the smart grid, new energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power are connected to the grid. In addition to power frequency, the current signal of power grid also includes several DC signals, as well as medium-high and high-frequency transient signals. Traditional current sensors for power grids are bulky, have a narrow measurement range, and cannot measure both AC and DC at the same time. Therefore, this paper designs a non-intrusive, AC-DC wide-bandwidth current sensor based on the composite measurement principle. The proposed composite current detection scheme combines two different isolation detection technologies, namely tunneling reluctance and the Rogowski coil. These two current sensing techniques are complementary (tunneling magnetoresistive sensors have good low-frequency characteristics and Rogowski coils have good high-frequency characteristics, allowing for a wide detection bandwidth). Through theoretical and simulation analysis, the feasibility of the composite measurement scheme was verified. The prototype of composite current sensor was developed. The DC and AC transmission characteristics of the sensor prototype were measured, and the sensitivity and linearity were 11.96 mV/A, 1.14%, respectively. Finally, the sweep current method and pulse current method experiments prove that the designed composite current sensor can realize the current measurement from DC to 17 MHz.
