A Service-Oriented Digital Twins Framework for Smart Grid Management

2022-01-01
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are infrastructures with capabilities of perception, networking, and computation. They consist of physical and virtual components that interact with their environment. Their main goal is to monitor the physical system in real-time to have its behavior under control. Some of these infrastructures require well-defined security measures due to their critical processing capabilities. Digital Twins are defined as virtual structures emulating the physical components in various systems. They enable the deployment of isolated simulation environments to test changes and specify the security issues of a CPS. One of the main applications of CPS is smart grids. Microservices allow us to create fine-grained operations on automation systems. Using small, well-defined, modular processes, we can observe the states of smart grid infrastructure in many stages. In this work, we aim to design a framework that can create a reliable environment for smart grids compliant with existing industrial standards. We propose a service-oriented digital twins framework consisting of entities such as power meters, data aggregators, and system parameters for providing a scalable and highly available platform for complex energy systems.

A practical analysis of sample complexity for structure learning of discrete dynamic Bayesian networks
Geduk, Salih; Ulusoy, İlkay (2021-02-01)
Discrete Dynamic Bayesian Network (dDBN) is used in many challenging causal modelling applications, such as human brain connectivity, due to its multivariate, non-deterministic, and nonlinear capability. Since there is not a ground truth for brain connectivity, the resulting model cannot be evaluated quantitatively. However, we should at least make sure that the best structure results for the used modelling approach and the data. Later, this result can be appreciated by further correlated literature of anat...
Highly Accurate Clock Synchronization With Drift Correction for the Controller Area Network
Akpinar, Murat; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2022-12-01)
Modem vehicles, that have to be considered as safety-critical cyber-physical systems, require highly accurate clock synchronization (CS) among their distributed computing devices. Since Controller Area Network (CAN) is the predominant in-vehicle communication bus, it is highly relevant to support CS for CAN. This article proposes an original CS method for distributed in-vehicle networks based on CAN with both offset and drift correction. While offset correction is performed based on timestamps in periodic r...
A Digital signal processor based development platform for thermal imagers
Özkan, Mustafa; Beşikci, Cengiz; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
The performance of thermal imaging systems depends on the sophistication level of the signal processing algorithms and the careful design of the required electronics. Digital Signal Processor (DSP) boards are very beneficial in designing such systems, and applying high level signal processing algorithms. The aim of this study is to design and implement a development platform for thermal imagers using a double floating point processor DSP board.A front-end electronics board has been employed as the interface...
A Distributed Online Curriculum and Courseware Development Model
ONAY DURDU, PINAR; Yalabik, Nese; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2009-01-01)
A distributed online curriculum and courseware development model (DONC(2)) is developed and tested in this study. Courseware development teams which may work in different institutions who need to develop high quality, reduced cost, on time products will be the users of DONC(2). The related features from the disciplines of instructional design and software engineering were combined. The research is conducted as a collective case study, including four cases with distinctive characteristics to reveal the sever...
Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system applications in chemical processes
Güner, Evren; Özgen, Canan; Leblebicioğlu, Kemal; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003)
Neuro-Fuzzy systems are the systems that neural networks (NN) are incorporated in fuzzy systems, which can use knowledge automatically by learning algorithms of NNs. They can be viewed as a mixture of local experts. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is one of the examples of Neuro Fuzzy systems in which a fuzzy system is implemented in the framework of adaptive networks. ANFIS constructs an input-output mapping based both on human knowledge (in the form of fuzzy rules) and on generated input-out...
