In this research, the approach taken is based on a case study of Wärtsilä's smart NOx sensor on a W4L20 diesel engine with the objective of replacing the wired CAN protocol with a wireless CAN communication node. In the current setup, the smart NOx sensor is connected to the engine control unit (ECU) with a wired CAN bus connection. The XBee module, which uses the ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) technology was used in the design and implementation of the wireless CAN prototype. With the emergence of 5G networks and the era of IoT, the topic of wireless industrial automation becomes essential in the modern industry. In addition to the great advantages and opportunities that the use of wireless nodes has in automation systems, there are many real challenges. The practical...

Since formulating stages for increasing interest in wireless application proves to be extremely challenging, it is growing rapidly. Initially this growth leads to huge demand for the radio spectrum. The novelty of this approach needs to optimize the spectrum utilization and find the efficient way for sharing the radio frequencies through spectrum sensing process. Spectrum sensing is one of the most significant tasks that allow cognitive radio functionality to implement and one of the most challenging tasks. A main challenge in sensing process arises from the fact that, detecting signals with a very low SNR in back ground of noise or severely masked by interference in specific time based on high reliability. This thesis describes the fundamental cognitive radio system as...

Reactive power control is one of such ancillary service provided by DERs. This paper aims to test the performance of a reactive power control scheme developed on a light-weight Intelligent Electronic Device (IED). The IEDs are implemented on a BeagleBoneBlack as well as on an FPGA. The test set-up is implemented by the Controller-Hardware-In-the-Loop platform. The simulation platform is OPAL-RT's eMEGASIM and ePHASORSIM. The results show the performance of the FPGA to be better than BeagleBoneBlack when comparing results of the Sofware-In-the-Loop simulations.

However, these improvements need to be fully assessed within different circumstances before the scheme can be implemented to real SAS. This paper illustrates a comparisons between the performance testing of a practical (using commercial physical devices) prototype process bus and the simulated model based on the sample value (SV) traffic stream latency using a novel estimation approach. The practical prototype process bus has been implemented based on the IEC 61850-9-2LE process bus and the simulated model has been initiated within the OPNET simulation tool models complaint with the IEC 61850-9-2LE process bus. By implementing the comparison two benefits have been achieved, from the practical experiments point view it proves the correctness of the design and the implementation of the IEC 61850-9-2LE process bus and the no...

With the increased penetration of distributed generation (DG), the requirements for LoM or anti-islanding protection has become common in the electric utilities. The development of Smart Grids including extensive communication capabilities enables also communication based LoM approaches. Since IEC 61850 standard based systems are the mainstream in the substation communication, expanding this technology deeper in the distribution network provides interesting solution for communication based LoM protection. The standard IEC 61850-7-420 defines logical nodes (LNs) suitable for this purpose but there are not yet available devices applying this part of the standard. Therefore in this research, a light-weight 61850 GOOSE based LoM solution has been developed and demonstrated applying a microcontroller and available open source software. This paper...
