- Description: Previous survey articles on Low-Powered Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs) lack a systematic analysis of the design goals of LPWAN and the design decisions adopted by various commercially available and emerging LPWAN technologies, and no study has analysed how their design decisions impact their ability to meet design goals. Assessing a technology's ability to meet design goals is essential in determining suitable technologies for a given application. To address these gaps, we have analysed six prominent design goals and identified the design decisions used to meet each goal in the eight LPWAN technologies, ranging from technical consideration to business model, and determined which specific technique in a design decision will help meet each goal to the greatest extent. System architecture and specifications are presented for those LPWAN solutions, and their ability to meet each design goal is evaluated. We outline seventeen use cases across twelve domains that require large low power network infrastructure and prioritise each design goal's importance to those applications as Low, Moderate, or High. Using these priorities and each technology's suitability for meeting design goals, we suggest appropriate LPWAN technologies for each use case. Finally, a number of research challenges are presented for current and future technologies. © 2013 IEEE.

- Description: Electrical power grids comprise a significantly large number of transformers that interconnect power generation, transmission and distribution. These transformers having different MVA ratings are critical assets that require proper maintenance to provide long and uninterrupted electrical service. The mineral oil, an essential component of any transformer, not only provides cooling but also acts as an insulating medium within the transformer. The quality and the key dissolved properties of insulating mineral oil for the transformer are critical with its proper and reliable operation. However, traditional chemical diagnostic methods are expensive and time-consuming. A transformer oil image analysis approach, based on the entropy value of oil, which is inexpensive, effective and quick. However, the inability of entropy to estimate the vital transformer oil properties such as equivalent age, Neutralization Number (NN), dissipation factor (tanδ) and power factor (PF); and many intuitively derived constants usage limit its estimation accuracy. To address this issue, in this paper, we introduce an innovative transformer oil analysis using two deep convolutional learning techniques such as Convolutional Neural Network (ConvNet) and Residual Neural Network (ResNet). These two deep neural networks are chosen for this project as they have superior performance in computer vision. After estimating the equivalent aging year of transformer oil from its image by our proposed method, NN, tanδ and PF are computed using that estimated age. Our deep learning based techniques can accurately predict the transformer oil equivalent age, leading to calculate NN, tanδ and PF more accurately. The root means square error of estimated equivalent age produced by entropy, ConvNet and ResNet based methods are 0.718, 0.122 and 0.065, respectively. ConvNet and ResNet based methods have reduced the error of the oil age estimation by 83% and 91%, respectively compared to that of the entropy method. Our proposed oil image analysis can calculate the equivalent age that is very close to the actual age for all images used in the experiment. © 2019 IEEE.

- Description: State Estimation is a traditional and reliable technique within power distribution and control systems. It is used for building a topology of the power grid network based on state measurements and current operational state of different nodes & buses. The protection of sensors and measurement units such as Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) in Central Energy Management System (CEMS) against False Data Injection Attacks (FDIAs) is a big concern to grid operators. These are special kind of cyber-attacks that are directed towards the state & measurement data in such a way that mislead the CEMS into making incorrect decisions and create generation load imbalance. These are known to bypass the traditional bad data detection systems within central estimators. This paper presents the use of an additional novel state estimator based on Kalman filter along with traditional Distributed State Estimation (DSE) which is based on Weighted Least Square (WLS). Kalman filter is a feedback control mechanism that constantly updates itself based on state prediction and state correction technique and shows improvement in the estimates. The additional estimator output is compared with the results of DSE in order to identify anomalies and injection of false data. We evaluated our methodology by simulating proposed technique using MATPOWER over IEEE-14, IEEE-30, IEEE-118, IEEE-300 bus. The results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over traditional state estimation. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

- Description: The smart grid accessibility over the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming attractive to electrical grid operators as it brings considerable operational and cost efficiencies. However, this in return creates significant cyber security challenges, such as fortification of state estimation data such as state variables against false data injection attacks (FDIAs). In this paper, a clustered partitioning state estimation (CPSE) technique is proposed to detect FDIA by using static state estimation, namely, weighted least square (WLS) method in conjunction with dynamic state estimation using minimum variance unscented Kalman filter (MV-UKF) which improves the accuracy of state estimation. The estimates acquired from the MV-UKF do not deviate like WLS as these are purely based on the previous iteration saved in the transition matrix. The deviation between the corresponding estimations of WLS and MV-UKF are utilised to partition the smart grid into smaller sub-systems to detect FDIA and then identify its location. To validate the proposed detection technique, FIDAs are injected into IEEE 14-bus, IEEE 30-bus, IEEE 118-bus, and IEEE 300-bus distribution feeder using MATPOWER simulation platform. Our results clearly demonstrate that the proposed technique can locate the attack area efficiently compared to other techniques such as chi square. © 2013 IEEE.
