Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent technological trends such as in communications, big data, smart infrastructure and business economics have transformed our social environment. The increased connectedness between people, processes, data, and things, which defines the Internet of Everything (IoE), is revolutionizing the way utility companies monitor, control, and distribute energy over the electrical grid. With the help of the infor­mation and communication infrastructure, the smart grid enables the collection and process­ing of huge amounts of energy-related data.

The enhanced smart grid features and privileges have resulted in a larger surface for cyber­attacks, enabling the remote exploitation of these smart devices without the need for physical access. Given these considerations, specific topics of interest for this Collection include:

  • Advances in information and communication technologies in cyberphysical systems—data analytics, AI, big data, machine learning, etc.
  • Privacy and security of advanced metering in smart grids
  • Energy-aware applications and hardware in smart grids
  • Smart management of energy storage and distributed energy resources in smart grids
  • Smart metering, real-time pricing, and demand—response in smart grids
  • Dynamic load forecasting modeling and simulation
  • Secure and reliable integration of IoT in smart grids
  • Micro-grid and renewal energy resources in Smart Grids
  • Self-healing technologies for Smart Grid
  • Prosumer based energy management in Smart Grid
  • Big Data and Data management in Smart Grid
  • Security and privacy in Smart Grid
  • AI and ML based solutions for security in Smart Grid
  • Deep learning and Federated learning-based security in Smart Grid

The recent oscillation events in offshore wind farms (OWFs) connected via a modular multilevel-converter-based HVDC (MMC-HVDC) system are developing towards a wider frequency band, which causes complex a small-signal interaction phenomenon and difficulties in the stability analysis and control. In this paper, the wideband dynamic interaction mechanism is investigated based on the impedance analysis method and an improved control strategy using an optimization algorithm is proposed to improve the small-signal stability and reduce the oscillation risks. First, the detailed impedance models of the grid-connected system are established considering the distribution characteristics of the submarine cable, control delay and frequency coupling effect. Then, combined with the active damping control method, the wideband resonance mechanism is analyzed, and the stability constraints of controller parameters are obtained using the impedance stability criterion. Finally, an improved multi-objective slime mold algorithm (MOSMA)-based coordinated optimization control strategy is proposed to enhance the adaptability of the controller parameters and the wideband damping ability of a grid-connected system, which can improve the wideband stability of the system. The simulation and experimental results verify the proposed control strategy. Full article

The secure operation of smart grids is closely linked to state estimates that accurately reflect the physical characteristics of the grid. However, well-designed false data injection attacks (FDIAs) can manipulate the process of state estimation by injecting malicious data into the measurement data while bypassing the detection of the security system, ultimately causing the results of state estimation to deviate from secure values. Since FDIAs tampering with the measurement data of some buses will lead to error offset, this paper proposes an attack-detection algorithm based on statistical learning according to the different characteristic parameters of measurement error before and after tampering. In order to detect and classify false data from the measurement data, in this paper, we report the model establishment and estimation of error parameters for the tampered measurement data by combining the the k-means++ algorithm with the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. At the same time, we located and recorded the bus that the attacker attempted to tamper with. In order to verify the feasibility of the algorithm proposed in this paper, the IEEE 5-bus standard test system and the IEEE 14-bus standard test system were used for simulation analysis. Numerical examples demonstrate that the combined use of the two algorithms can decrease the detection time to less than 0.011883 s and correctly locate the false data with a probability of more than 95%.
