A method for implementing a micro grid within a Smart Distribution Power Grid (SDPG) has steps for connecting a smart meter enabled to sense voltage, to sense current and current direction and to communicate wirelessly to individual ones of consumer sites within an area of the micro grid, determining a set of Smart Distribution Nodes of a number, placement and data packet transfer technology to transfer data from the smart meters to a Micro Grid Controlling Station (MCS), the set determined in a manner to provide cost optimization, where cost is determined form at least original node costs, data packet hops, operating costs and maintenance costs, and implementing the set of SDNs along a power grid topology (PGT) of the micro grid, such that data is transmitted from each smart meter to a proximate SDN and through other SDNs to the MCS.

Optimal communication architecture for smart distribution power grid

A system for optimal power utilization and supply strategy in a microgrid has a smart meter connected to a micro grid, at least one micro electricity manager connected to the smart meter, at least one wireless switch board connected to the micro electricity manager, and at least one intelligent device connected to said micro electricity manager. The system for optimal power utilization and supply strategy is configured as a cyber-physical system capable of dynamic energy management to minimize mismatch between electricity demand and generation.

Using cyber-physical system-enabled microgrid system for optimal power utilization and supply strategy

A smart distribution power grid (SDPG) system has at least one micro-grid, each comprising a set of intelligent entities and a set of external Smart Distribution Nodes, and a communication system enabling communication within the set of intelligent entities, forming an overlay communication network on the microgrid. The communication system is deployed on the micro-grid in a manner minimizing installation cost, communication cost and overall maintenance cost of the SDPG.

An apparatus reducing power theft on a micro power grid includes a server connected to the micro power grid, the server including a processor, data repository and software executing on the processor from a non-transitory medium the software enabling collection over time of bi-directional current data from smart distribution nodes connected to identified segments of the micro power grid and from smart meters distributed to one or more client demarcation points on the identified segments, processing of the bi-directional current data to determine power theft event frequency and power theft current information, assigning of a class to the individual ones of identified segments according to results of processing, and resetting of the number of packet transmission hop counts between the smart distribution nodes on identified segments and resetting the time period interval between subsequent power theft check routines for each identified segment based upon the classification data.
