Abstract—The evolution towards emerging Active Distribu-tion Networks (ADNs) can be realized via a Real-Time State Estimation (RTSE) application facilitated by the use of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). A critical challenge in deploying PMU-based RTSE applications at large scale is the lack of a

.g., distributed (renewable) energy resources and electric vehicles, smart grids present a new networking landscape where a diverse set of multi-party, machine-to-machine applications are required to enhance the observability of the power grid, often in real-time, and on top of a diverse set of communication

architecture supporting futuristic information-rich VANET applications, ranging from location based services to real-time audio/video transfer. The key design philosophy of our proposed framework is that VANET communication is scoped by three key characteristics of information relevance: space, time, and user

requirements for interactive traffic and quality-of-service (QoS) support for real-time streams (voice/video). In the wireless routing area, several schemes have already been proposed and implemented (e.g., hierarchical routing, on-demand routing, etc.). We introduce two new schemes—fisheye state routing (FSR

A current survey of the emerging field of networked control systems is provided. The aim is to introduce the fundamental issues involved in designing successful networked control systems, to provide a snapshot assessment of the current state of research in the field, to suggest useful future

Abstract—We describe the real-time monitoring infrastructure of the smart-grid pilot on the EPFL campus. We experimentally validate the concept of a real-time state-estimation for a 20 kV active distribution network. We designed and put into operation the whole infrastructure composed

Information-centric networking proposals attract much at-tention in the ongoing search for a future communication paradigm of the Internet. Replacing the host-to-host connec-tivity by a data-oriented publish/subscribe service eases con-tent distribution and authentication by concept, while elim

overuse of the wireless communication channel, a state-estimation framework is implemented upon a partially decentralized network of wireless active sensing units. The real-time performance of the implemented control solution is successfully validated using the semi-actively controlled Kajima

for secure and economical process operations. It is an intrinsic element of many network management systems including Power, and Water Distribution Networks, where its implementation not only facilitates real-time network monitoring, fault detection, and process optimization, but it also enables an advanced

Demand Response (DR) has traditionally targeted peak shaving for the optimal allocation of the electricity consumption on a time scale that ranges from minutes to hours. However, with the availability of advanced monitoring and communication infrastructure, the potential of real-time DR
