“…These operations must be tightly synchronized and often autonomous to avoid errors and protect the energy infrastructure. This approach has been demonstrated in the development of energy storage systems and PV from residential [59], [60], [61], [62], to commercial-scale [63] systems in both hardware and controller hardware in the loop platforms. We note that other MQTT-based work for autonomous resource allocation systems was explored in [64] and for automation systems in [65].…”

In this work, the first quantum key-bootstrapped authentication for smart grid communications on an electric utility fiber network is demonstrated. The developed method was prototyped in a software package to manage and utilize quantum keys from a quantum key distribution (QKD) system to authenticate machine-to-machine communications used for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). This demonstration showcases the feasibility of using QKD to improve the security of critical infrastructure, including future distributed energy resources (DERs), such as energy storage.

“…In addition, if there is no isolation transformer but directly connected to the grid, it may inject DC current into the grid, causing magnetic saturation of transformers and electromagnetic components, and causing torque pulsation of nearby mechanical loads. At the present stage, there are still disadvantages such as huge manual access workload, low standardization, and difficulty in maintaining the association topology in the process of accessing the distribution IoT for massive local distributed renewable energy and smart meters and other end devices [7]. Meanwhile, when a large amount of distributed renewable energy is connected to the distribution system, it will largely affect the size and direction of the network tide, as well as the voltage of electrical components and customers [8].…”

With the application of distributed renewable energy access in the power distribution system, the automation and digitalization of the power grid is effectively promoted. This greatly improves the level of energy utilization and promotes green and sustainable grid development. However, there are problems of edge-to-end authentication and information interaction in the process of accessing massive and various types of renewable energy sources. Therefore, we propose a distributed renewable energy plug-and-play approach for distribution local area networks and study a topology identification-based plug-and-play technology. We establish a distributed renewable energy access architecture with reference to the “cloud-side-end” hierarchy of the distribution IoT. Based on this, we propose a topology-based renewable energy plug-and-play mechanism to verify the energy access and realize the plug-and-play and interoperability functions. The experimental results show that the method has an accuracy rate of 90% in the verification of renewable energy access, and has a significant improvement in the efficiency of plug-and-play access for various types of renewable energy, fully realizing the automatic operation and maintenance of plug-and-play and topological correlation for massive renewable energy.

Smart grid solutions enable utilities and customers to better monitor and control energy use via information and communications technology. Information technology is intended to improve the future electric grid’s reliability, efficiency, and sustainability by implementing advanced monitoring and control systems. However, leveraging modern communications systems also makes the grid vulnerable to cyberattacks. Here we report the first use of quantum key distribution (QKD) keys in the authentication of smart grid communications. In particular, we make such demonstration on a deployed electric utility fiber network. The developed method was prototyped in a software package to manage and utilize cryptographic keys to authenticate machine-to-machine communications used for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). This demonstration showcases the feasibility of using QKD to improve the security of critical infrastructure, including future distributed energy resources (DERs), such as energy storage.
