Abstract

Original scientific paper This paper is an effort towards constructing a comprehensive model for the smart grid as a network of networks with the ability of evaluating events in presence of every smart grid feature. To this end, the network modelling laws are employed to attain a proper structure for the model, the automata theory is used to explain the performance of the proposed model, and the hybrid function theory is utilized to define an appropriate mathematical description for it. By evaluating the smart grid cooperative processes, and determining the role of special smart grid features in these processes, a six-layered hierarchical structure is chosen. Each layer of this structure is considered as an automaton and its autonomous performance is described by a hybrid function, mathematically. The composition of these six hybrid functions introduces the final formulation of the model. To verify the suitability of the proposed model the mechanism of the smart load management strategy is captured.

Summary

Introduction

The main goal of a smart grid is to achieve a perfect power system by providing new digital technologies, utilizing economic incentive programs, and sending control signals to its active members The realization of this goal is possible in the presence of bidirectional communication infrastructure which revolutionizes the smart grid to an integrated infrastructure of computation, networking, and energy exchange. An appropriate mathematical formulation is introduced to describe the performance of the proposed model in general manner which gives a wide degrees of freedom for adjusting the parameters of the proposed model to the studied problem To this end, some knowledge and techniques from other disciplines are applied innovatively to the smart grid.
