Abstract

The idea of smart grid (SG) technology has revolutionized the traditional power system and has made it more efficient, robust and reliable in a number of ways. SG networks are recently upgraded networks of associated objects of information and communication technology (ICT) and core technology. Many active research areas have been developed to achieve the goals and planned requirements of the transfer of power systems from the traditional grid to the SG. Despite the significant characteristics of SG, future research needs to resolve numerous problems relating to core and ICT technology. This analysis paper identifies the challenges facing SG growth, potential research directions and also proposes possible solutions to some of these challenges, thus achieving the SG goals and planned requirements.

Abstract

Electricity is the basic need of today’s scenario. In the 21st generation, growth and development is totally dependent on electricity. Thus, measurement of consumption of electricity becomes much more important. Energy meter used to measure consumed electricity by building or electrical equipment of various end users. This paper focuses on review of energy meters and power tampering attempts. It will highlight the development of meters from electromechanical meters to smart meters. The need of an era is to develop a more reliable and intelligent smart energy meters. This paper also discussed type of power tampering efforts in energy meters for power theft. The concept of smart meters for removing the power tampering efforts is also discussed.

Abstract

In order to enhance electricity quality, a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system simulation is presented in this study. A 200 kW photovoltaic system is integrated to a utility grid and loads. A 25 kV 3-level insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) bridge converter is used. Through this system integration of a renewable energy source with a non-renewable source is achieved. This system also wins over the intermittent nature of the renewable source (solar energy) and non-reliability of conventional sources (utility grid). Power and signal quality for various signals such as ripple factor and total harmonic distortion has improved. The suggested system is investigated using MATLAB/Simulink environment. Total harmonic distortion (THD) in voltage and current, ripple factor correction is also incorporate in the MATLAB model.
