Implementation of self-healing control system in smart grid is a persisting challenge. Self-Healing control strategy is the important guarantee to implement the smart grid. In addition, it is the support of achieving the secure operation, improving the reliability and security of distribution grid, and realizing the smart distribution grid. Although self-healing control system concept is presented in smart grid context, but the complexity of distribution network structure recommended to choose advanced control and protection system using a self-healing, this system must be able to heal any disturbance in the distribution system of smart grid to improve efficiency, resiliency, continuity, and reliability of the smart grid. This review focuses mostly on the key technology of self-healing control, gives an insight into the role of self-healing in distribution system advantages, study challenges and opportunities in the prospect of utilities. The main contribution of this paper is demonstrating proposed architecture, control strategy for self-healing control system includes fault detection, fault localization, faulted area isolation, and power restoration in the electrical distribution system.

In Germany, as of 2017, a new smart metering infrastructure based on high security and privacy requirements will be deployed. It provides interfaces to connect meters for different commodities, to allow end users to retrieve the collected measurement data, to connect to the metering operators, and to connect Controllable Local Systems (CLSs) that establish a TLS secured connection to third parties in order to exchange data or for remote controlling of energy devices. This paper aims to connect industrial machines as CLS devices since it shows that the demands and main ideas of remotely controlled devices in the Smart Grid context and Industrial Cloud Applications match on the communication level. It describes the general architecture of the Smart Metering infrastructure in Germany, introduces the defined roles, depicts the configuration process on the different organizational levels, demonstrates the connection establishment and the initiating partners, concludes on the potential industrial use cases of this infrastructure, and provides open questions and room for further research.
