“…PQ has significant impacts on the smart grid, such as flicker affects the human brain reacts and corrupts vision, increasing losses, reducing production, reducing the performance of computers and sensitive devices, security system failure, and unwanted triggering UPS relays, significantly impacts on the transfer of data via smart meters, and induction motor breakdown. [5]. Given the above challenges, SG operators are still mandated to enforce PQ standardized levels to reduce energy waste, minimize the generation cost, avoid penalties, increase power system reliability, increase the equipment lifetime, and reduce the equipment outage times.…”

The smart grid (SG) is a new scientific progress concept. Residential and commercial colonies and smart homes have many sensitive electrical devices and renewable energy systems (solar and wind). SG is greatly affected by Power Quality (PQ) disturbances. PQ has significant impacts on the low voltage smart grid, such as flicker, voltage sag/swell, and harmonics, causing substantial losses and disrupting the SG system. The smart home resident needs a clean and reliable electric power energy source without any PQ troubles. Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a costefficient and promising static var device installed in series with transmission and distribution lines to protect PQ disturbances in electrical power systems. This research introduces an idea to improve PQ disturbances in the smart distribution grid (smart home) at the low voltage side using a Low-Cost Two-level inverter DVR. This study will use a two-level inverter topology to integrate with the DVR System to obtain a simple and straightforward Low-Cost Two-level Inverter DVR approach that is easy to use, flexible, and practical. In this research, the proposed DVR was designed and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink, where it shows excellent performance to overcome PQ-related disturbances such as voltage sag/swell, flicker, and harmonics with percentages close to 99%.

“…The Smart Home was designed to provide additional comfort and security to the regular home, as well as enhanced ecological sustainability [1]. This was possible by implementing a wide variety of household sensors and actuators and means to process all the gathered data in a way that intelligent operating decisions are made, instead of manual or fixed-schedule control schemes [2].…”

The Internet of Things is considered an emerging technology with the potential to penetrate all aspects of our lives. However, with great power comes great responsibility and the privacy and security needed for critical infrastructure or sensitive commercial operations is very different than the needs of a Smart Home. Additionally, the available security resources from the private sector are totally different than the ones available to a homeowner. In this context, we developed an open source architecture for IoT which is based on the advantages of a SCADA system and can be easily applied to a Smart Home. This architecture assures a high-security level, even for low technical skills homeowners, with minimal costs.

With the rapid transformation of the energy sector towards modern power systems represented by smart grids (SGs), microgrids (MG), and distributed generation, blockchain (BC) technology has shown the capability for solving security, privacy, and reliability challenges that hinder progress. Currently, the energy structure is forming a decentralized system that prioritizes customer satisfaction. BC technology undertakes power network stockholders in a secure energy market, transparent transactions, and fair competition and offers promising energy solutions. This paper is a comprehensive review of energy applications using BC integration. Firstly, we introduce the drivers of BC leverage that make it a potentially important component of the power network. Following that, we provide background information on BC and its application in areas other than the energy sector. Subsequently, we discuss studies and sort potential energy applications from various recent papers and surveys that have already adopted BC technology in the energy sector. Then, we summarize the pricing infrastructure for applying BC in the energy sector and identify the requirements to build it. Finally, energy security and privacy challenges based on BC are highlighted, along with potential drawbacks and concerns related to the pricing infrastructure.
