Smart Grid Sample Clauses

Smart Grid. ‌ This application may not be deeply explored although the IoT technology is a crucial improvement in the sector for a between delivery of such as power control and delivery among electrical utilities. Some functionalities can be implemented using the technology to help in fault and incident recovery, and it is also applied in automated load shedding. This makes work easier for the electrical engineers and technicians in troubleshooting major electricity problems through informed decisions. It is difficult to find a solution over a vast electricity infrastructure, but with this improvement put into place, the sector will advance and by effectively addressing challenges such as delays and critical faults. It also improves the security of the power grids which are major targets for some hackers. The smart grids are equipped with critical infrastructure including the smart appliances, smart meters, actuator-cars, sensors and private/public infrastructure of communication which must be protected to ensure the main vision of IoT in this application is realized [50].

Smart Grid. ‌ Smart grids use IoT technology applications for enhancing and improving the energy consumption in buildings and houses [93]. IoT application scenarios in smart grids are essential in helping suppliers of power to manage and control resources for providing power proportionally according to the increase in the population. For instance, IoT is applied in smart grids to interconnect numerous network devices of the providers of energy. Hence, these devices gather, analyses, regulate, manage, and monitor the consumption of energy—which, in turn, provides crucial information for energy which helps in improving the efficiency of service delivery and quality of services, as well as reducing potential failures. Additionally, due to the availability of millions of devices and consumers in smart grids, security and reliability are crucial. According to [93], smart grids are capable of eliminating electricity blackouts by improving reliability and quality. However, some challenges in intelligent grids are of great limitation such as the increase in vulnerabilities caused by remote monitoring, automation, and the interconnection of supervised entities. Cyber-attacks are also on the rise, targeting smart power grids by mainly tampering with their transient stability on voltage [94]. Hence, IoT application designers not only need to develop devices which are reliable but also safe and secure operating with the latest security protocols. Due to the several functions assigned in devices of the smart grid including data collection, analysis, regulation, management, and monitoring of energy consumption rates, the application requires an extensive computing power to provide efficient results. Moreover, due to the heterogeneous nature of the smart grid involving multiple energy sources and users, the smart grids require efficient computing devices such as the mobile agent that was proposed by Xxxx et al. in [95] as the most suitable for supporting the power system under the cloud computing platform. Moreover, [96] stated that future smart grids should be shaped with bio-inspired and cooperative computing that operates under the basis of the self-organizing sensor networks. Finally, the smart devices and applications within the smart grid including smart meters they should have efficient functionalities to realize digital management and make intelligent decisions which are communicated to the entire smart grid system in helping resource allocation and asset optimization [97].

  • Grid The salary level for each benchmark is identified as a “grid” and the corresponding dollar amount is in Wage Schedules – Grids of the Maintenance Plan. For example: Grid: 9 Wage Schedules - Grids - April 1, 2013 $2,923 per month

  • Network Access Control The VISION Web Site and the Distribution Support Services Web Site (the “DST Web Sites”) are protected through multiple levels of network controls. The first defense is a border router which exists at the boundary between the DST Web Sites and the Internet Service Provider. The border router provides basic protections including anti-spoofing controls. Next is a highly available pair of stateful firewalls that allow only HTTPS traffic destined to the DST Web Sites. The third network control is a highly available pair of load balancers that terminate the HTTPS connections and then forward the traffic on to one of several available web servers. In addition, a second highly available pair of stateful firewalls enforce network controls between the web servers and any back-end application servers. No Internet traffic is allowed directly to the back-end application servers. The DST Web Sites equipment is located and administered at DST’s Winchester data center. Changes to the systems residing on this computer are submitted through the DST change control process. All services and functions within the DST Web Sites are deactivated with the exception of services and functions which support the transfer of files. All ports on the DST Web Sites are disabled, except those ports required to transfer files. All “listeners,” other than listeners required for inbound connections from the load balancers, are deactivated. Directory structures are “hidden” from the user. Services which provide directory information are also deactivated.
