Call for Papers : IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications-
Special series on Smart Grid Communications
"Smart Grid" refers to the modernization of electric grid to allow for
more efficient generation, transmission, distribution, and usage of
energy. This is becoming necessary in order to transition to a more
sustainable energy generation and consumption and reduce its adverse
effects on the environment. While more advances in areas like renewable
energies and network control are necessary, advances in communication
technologies, data fusion and mining, as well as scheduling and
optimization are also critical in order to achieve this vision.
It is anticipated that the same communication technologies that have
revolutionized our way of life in the past decades, ranging from sensor
networks, mobile Internet, cloud computing, smart phones and many
others, will have direct applicability to Smart Grid. Many off-the-shelf
and commercial communication technologies may be ready for deployment in
the Smart Grid today. Examples include the use of wireless
communications to collect and exchange information about electric
quality, consumption, pricing, etc. However, allowing greater
flexibility in sharing information in a secure and reliable fashion
still poses a number of challenges. Furthermore, using off-the-shelves
technologies may lead to inefficiencies, especially if energy management
specific features are not utilized adequately in the data compression
and the collection infrastructure. Questions that remain unanswered in
the smart grid context, include, coverage, interference, spectrum
sharing, architecture, network topology, access control and
authentication, data representation, data fusion and many more.
This series of IEEE JSAC is focused on identifying the numerous
communication challenges posed by the various aspects and
functionalities of the Smart Grid and exploring research avenues for
addressing them. Original contributions that are unpublished and not
currently under review by any other journal are solicited in relevant
areas of Smart Grid communications including (but not limited) to the
following:
* Physical and MAC layer protocols for Smart Grid applications
* Spectrum sharing, coexistence and interference mitigation in Smart
Grid communications
* Network control for the power grid
* Smart Grid sensors data fusion and mining models
* Communications to support demand-response, load and pricing management
* Smart Grid cyber-physical network modeling and performance analysis
* Measurement data from Smart Grid testbeds and field trials
* Architecture and network topology for Smart Grid applications
* Cyber and physical vulnerabilities and Smart Grid security
Each submission should demonstrate clear applicability to Smart Grid
communications. Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC
manuscript format described in the information for authors
(http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html).
