Implementation of a decentralized real-time management system for electrical distribution networks using the internet of things in smart grids
Intelligent management of the electrical network is the implementation of an integrated system based on a reliable and secure communication architecture for transmitting end-to-end information between the equipment and the management system. The main objective of this work is to develop an intelligent telecontrol solution for the electrical distribution network combining communication techniques and an intelligent reconfiguration strategy. The solution is based on a graphic model and a secure communication architecture using the internet of things to ensure flexibility in terms of management of the intelligent network. This intelligent multi-criteria solution uses a secure communication architecture and the MQTT protocol to ensure system interoperability and security. The tests were carried out on the IEEE 33 bus network and consequently, an optimization of the losses and a clear improvement in the nodal voltage were recorded despite the variation of the electric charge
A Remote Decentralized Reconfiguration Strategy of Smart Grid using the Internet of Things
An intelligent energy management system for optimum design and real-time operation
Planning and management of distribution networks has become a very difficult task, especially with the strong expansion of renewable energy sources (RES) which are intermittent in nature. Maintaining fluidity and reliability of real-time decisions while taking into consideration uncertainties related to production and increasing the profit of distribution network operators is the objective of the system proposed in this work. It is an intelligent energy management system dedicated to the management of gridintegrated RES and battery energy storage systems (BESS), composed of: i) a real-time control and data acquisition model, ii) a model for forecasting the intermittent parameters of RES based on neural networks, iii) a longterm planning model based on the optimal placement and size of RES and BESS, and iv) an hourly planning model for scheduling the energy distribution between energy sources. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and the entropy-TOPSIS method (technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution) form the basic block of this model. To evaluate it, a modified IEEE 33 bus network was used for testing and the results, for short-term scheduling, proved that the system succeeds in maximizing profits and significantly minimizing CO2 emissions, in addition to power losses and voltage drops

A multi-objective optimization-based model for the deployment of reclosers and remote-controlled switches using NSGA2 and entropy weighted TOPSIS method
Since they are fast, remote-controlled, automated and intelligent, reclosers and switches are an inevitable solution for improving the reliability of intelligent electrical distribution networks at optimal cost. However, their location and coordination have great effects on the protection and automation strategies of complex electrical distribution networks against multiple unpredictable faults. Which requires a flexible and multi-criteria optimization method. In this article, we propose a multi-objective method based on an analytical model by considering the fault rate, restoration times, outage cost and coordination between devices. The non-dominated genetic sorting algorithm II was proposed to obtain the optimal Pareto solutions, and a technique of performance control by similarity with the ideal solution was used to classify them. The objective criteria weights are based on the entropy method which allows solutions to be obtained and better classified with the minimum of subjectivity. The IEEE33 and IEEE13 bus test networks were used to verify the method. The results obtained are compared to a binary multi-objective particle swarm optimization method and the results show that the proposed method reduces the overall costs, reduces the undelivered energy of the system and improves the reliability of the service
A remote-controlled global navigation satellite system based rover for accurate video-assisted cadastral surveys
One of the main tasks of a cadastral surveyor is to accurately determine property boundaries by measuring control points and calculating their coordinates. This paper proposes the development of a remotely-controlled tracking system to perform cadastral measurements. A Bluetooth-controlled rover was developed, including a Raspberry Pi Zero W module that acquires position data from a VBOX 3iSR global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver, equipped with a specific modem to download real-time kinematic (RTK) corrections from the internet. Besides, the Raspberry board measures the rover speed with a hall sensor mounted on a track, adjusting the acquisition rate to collect data at a fixed distance. Position and inertial data are shared with a cloud platform, enabling their remote monitoring and storing. Besides, the power supply section was designed to power the different components included in the acquisition section, ensuring 2 hours of energy autonomy. Finally, a mobile application was developed to drive the rover and real-time monitor the travelled path. The tests indicated a good agreement between rover measurements and those obtained by a Trimble R10 GNSS receiver (+0.25% mean error) and proved the superiority of the presented system over a traditional metric wheel
