“…The traditional state of the power grid is summarised in [29] as a one-way pipeline with clear demarcations between generation, transmission and transformation, where system capacities are often sized for worst case scenarios, due to an inability to incorporate DSM. The smart grid alternative however, as discussed in [30], can instead be viewed as hierarchy of three newtworks: the Home Area Network (HAN), the Neighbourhood Area Network (NAN) and the Wide Area Network (WAN). The HAN layer typically operates wirelessly over small areas, useful for sensors and smart meters in buildings, where low date rate technologies (following Zigbee or Z-wave standards for example) are well suited due to security, low cost and low power requirement.…”

Within the context of the Smart City, the need for intelligent approaches to manage and coordinate the diverse range of supply and conversion technologies and demand applications has been well established. The wide-scale proliferation of sensors coupled with the implementation of embedded computational intelligence algorithms can help to tackle many of the technical challenges associated with this energy systems integration problem. Nonetheless, barriers still exist, as suitable methods are needed to handle complex networks of actors, often with competing objectives, while determining design and operational decisions for systems across a wide spectrum of features and time-scales. This review looks at the current developments in the smart energy sector, focussing on techniques in the main application areas along with relevant implemented examples, while highlighting some of the key challenges currently faced and outlining future pathways for the sector. A detailed overview of a framework developed for the EU H2020 funded Sharing Cities project is also provided to illustrate the nature of the design stages encountered and control hierarchies required. The study aims to summarise the current state of computational intelligence in the field of smart energy management, providing insight into the ways in which current barriers can be overcome.

“…An ideal CPS consists of a computing system, networking tools, and physical components such as sensors. The physical aspects of a smart grid is monitored by controllers ; by connecting the sensors via a communications network, it is possible to keep track of the overall status of the smart grid and its working conditions, the sensors send all relevant data to the controllers to take action [17].…”

<span>The recent advances in technology, the increased dependence on electrical energy and the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) were all factors in the increased need for smart, efficient and reliable energy systems. This introduced the concept of the Smart Grid (SG). A SG is a potential replacement for older power grids, capable of adapting and distributing energy based on demand. SG systems are complex. They combine various components and have high requirements for real time reliable operation. This paper attempts to provide an overview of SG systems, by outlining SG architecture and various components. It also introduces communication technologies, integration and network management tools that are involved in SG systems. In addition, the paper highlights challenges and issues that need to be addressed for a successful implementation of SG. Finally, we provide suggestions for future <br /> research directions. </span>

“…As suggested in [10], power line communication, ZigBee, WLAN, cellular technologies or the internet are few examples of these technologies. Now a day's cellular technologies such as GSM, GPRS, 2G, 3G, 4G and WiMAX are extensively used [11]. For the work presented here, GSM technology has been used.…”

Communication network is an integral part of an intelligent based fully automated smart grid system. It plays an important role in the framework of the transition towards distribution side of the smart grid system. Power theft, Fault detection, Overloading etc. are some of the important issues on the power distribution networks. To address these issues, a novel Arduino based prototype model "Smart Electricity System" has been proposed in this paper. It includes global system for mobile communication (GSM) for its effective implementation on the distribution network. Moreover another novel feature, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is added to the proposed model. This is the key technology deployed on the distribution side of the smart grid system. The Uniqueness of the proposed model lies in the detection of power theft, where the information is sent to MSEB directly via interactive model of GSM 800 and APR voice kit, in the fault detection and its isolation by proper coordination between relay and Aurdino and in the overloading warning. Doing so, not only electricity is conserved but also the safety of living beings and protection of electrical appliances can be achieved effectively. Modern controllers with effective sensors are used to achieve all these issues for greater accuracy.
