Smart water grid is a water network with communication to save water and energy using various water resources. In smart water grid, water product from the various sources can be blended to be supplied to end-users. The product water blending was reported by literatures while feed water blending has been rarely reported so far. In this work, a commercial reverse osmosis (RO) system design software provided by a membrane manufacturer was used to elucidate the effect of feed water blending on the performance of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant. Fresh water from exisiting water resource was assumed to be blended to seawater to decrease salt concentration of the RO feed water. The feed water blending can simplify the RO system from double to single pass and decrease seawater intake amount, the unit prices of the RO system components including high pressure pump, and operation risk. Due to the increase in RO plant capacity with the feed water blending, however, the RO membrane area and total power consumption increase at higher water blending rates. Therefore, a specific benefit-cost analysis should be carried out to apply the feed water blending to SWRO plants.

IoT(Internet of Things areas) rich information based on the user easy access to service creation must be one of the power system of specificity due following: The IoT spread obstacle to the act be, and 'Smart Grid information of this is not easy under power plants approach the Directive on the protection measures, particularly when stringent security policies IoT technologies applied to Advanced Metering Infrastructure sector has been desired. This is a situation that occurs is limited to the application and use of IoT technologies in the power system. Power Information Network is whilst closed network operating is has a smart grid infrastructure, smart grid in an open two-way communication for review and although information security vulnerabilities increased risk of accidents increases as according to comprehensive security policies and technologies are required and can. In this paper, the IoT platform architecture design of information systems as part of the power of research and development IoT-based energy information platform aims. And to establish a standard framework for a connection to one 'Sensor-Gateway-Network-platform sensors Service' to provide power based on the IoT services and solutions. Framework is divided into "sensor-gateway" platform to link information modeling and gateways that can accommodate the interlocking standards and handling protocols variety of sensors Based on this real-time data collection, analysis and delivery platform that performs the role of the relevant and to secure technology.

In this paper, we proposed the efficient addressing scheme for improving the performance of routing algorithm by using ZigBee in Smart Grid environment. In a 16-bit address space and the network size of a few thousands, it is very unlikely to suffer from frequent address collisions. In response, we propose an elegant (x, y, z) coordinate axes addressing scheme from divided address space of 16 bit and its routing algorithm. One of disadvantages of (x, y) coordinate axes addressing, however, is that any router may not hold as many children as proposed, since sensor nodes tend to be connected to a geographically nearby router. We also present an adaptive routing algorithm for location-aware routing algorithms, using our addressing scheme. As a result, each node was reduced not only bitwise but also multi hop using the coordinate axes while routing and the effective address assignment and routing is to minimize the average energy consumption of each node in the network.

In this paper, we analyse the vulnerabilities of KL scheme which is an ID-based authentication scheme for AMI network, and propose two kinds of authentication schemes which satisfy forward secrecy as well as security requirements introduced in the previous works. In the first scheme, we use MDMS which is the supervising system located in an electrical company for a time-synchronizing server, in order to synchronize smart grid devices in home, and we process device authentication with a new secret value generated by OTP function every session. In the second scheme, we use a secret hash-chain mechanism for authentication process, so we can use a new secret value every session. The proposed two schemes have strong points and weak points respectively and those depend on the services area and its environment, so we can select one of them efficiently considering real aspects of AMI environment.

This study examines the system and process of battery stored energy in vehicles and suggest the effective area for the use of V2G(vehicle-to-grid) from Jeju Smart Grid Demonstration Project. V2G means technology of electric power transmission from the battery of electric-drive vehicles to state grid. As for the increasing of effectiveness for demand-side control, V2G is a very good alternative. In the U.S., the utilization of electric vehicles is under 40% on average. In this case, we can use he battery of electric vehicle as role of frequency regulation or generator of demand-side resource. V2G, which is the element of Smart Transportation, consists of electric vehicle battery, BMS(battery management system), OBC(on-board charger), charging infrastructure, NOC(network operating center) and TOC(total operation center). V2G application has been tested for frequency regulation to secure the economical efficiency in the United States. In this case, the battery cycle life is not verified its disadvantage. On the other hand, Demand Response is required by low c-rate of battery in electric vehicle and It can be small impact on the battery cycle life. This paper concludes business area of demand response is more useful than frequency regulation in V2G application of electric vehicles in Korea. This provides the opportunity to create a new business for power grid administrator with VPP(virtual power plant).

The thesis here by shows that the extant suspension wire, which is stretched between electric poles to support a variety of communication wires, can be replaced by specially-redesigned cables called OPSW(Composite Suspension Wire with Optical Fiber) which have been devised for the first time in the world so that the functions of both communication and support can be united into one cable which is sure to be successfully installed on site, hence leading to outstanding effects that it can sharply reduce the load applied to electric poles as well as the cost of forthcoming constructions and that it can accordingly make a great contribution to the building of Smart Grid network.

네트워크 기술의 발전으로 모바일 기기 콘텐츠 서비스의 일종인 N-Screen이 활발해 지고 있다. 이러한 N-Screen 서비스는 TV, PC 그리고 모바일 기기(스마트폰, 태블릿)등의 다양한 스크린에 소비되는 콘텐츠를 제공하는 것이다. 그러나 현재 대부분의 서비스들은 콘텐츠를 소비하는 기기에 맞게 인코딩 된 다수의 콘텐츠를 보유하고 있어야 한다. 하지만 현존하는 다양한 디스플레이 규격과 코덱에 적합하도록 콘텐츠를 변환하여 보관하는 것은 불가능한 상황이다. 따라서 현재 대부분의 서비스들은 대표적인 일부의 장비에 대한 콘텐츠만을 제공하고 있다. 또한 다양한 규격의 기기에 맞게 콘텐츠를 변환하여 제공하기 위해서는 고도의 컴퓨팅 파워가 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문은 스마트 TV에 그리드 컴퓨팅 기술을 적용하여 다양한 규격의 기기에 N-Screen 서비스를 제공하는 기술을 제안하고 설명한다.

기기간(M2M, Machine-to-Machin) 통신의 한 응용으로서 스마트 그리드 네트워크는 다수의 기기 통신으로 인한 전송 데이터의 방대한 양을 대표적 특징으로 꼽을 수 있다. 이에 현재 사용가능한 통신 기술들을 그대로 사용할 경우, 병목현상 혹은 네트워크 혼잡 등 네트워크 장애 및 전송 지연이 발생할 수 있다. 특히 스마트 그리드 네트워크의 상향 트래픽은 시간조절이 가능한 주기적 미터링 데이터와 지연민감한 이벤트 데이터로 나뉜다. 이에 본 논문에서는 각 트래픽 특성에 따라 트래픽양의 대다수를 이룰 미터링 데이터의 전송시간 조절을 이용한 혼잡제어 기법을 제안한다. 이를 통해 지연민감한 이벤트 데이터의 지연시간 내 전송 보장 확률을 높이고, 트래픽을 분산시킴으로써 전송 효율을 높이고자 한다.

The smart grid, which is an integrated type of the power system and the digital network, requires the integration of a CIM(Common Information Model) standard for information modelling at the power control centers and an IEC 61850 standard for automation at the substation level in order to efficiently exchange the information between system elements. This paper describes the method of data transfer from one standard information model to the other standard unified information model by mapping between the objects of IEC 61850 and IEC61970 CIM standards both in the static and dynamic models, and designs the method of data transfer and information exchange between the topology processing application using unified topology class packages.

Recently with improvement of SMART Grid, AMI network security has been affecting the environment for Electric information and communication. The system and communication protection consists of steps taken to protect the AMI components and the communication links between system components from cyber intrusions. The addition of two way communications between SUN and HAN introduces additional risk for unauthorized access to the AMI system. In this paper, we propose new AMI device authentication infrastructure, key establishment and security algorithm based on public key encryption to solve AMI network security problems.
