Communication Architecture for Monitoring and Control of Power Distribution Grids over Heterogeneous ICT Networks
order to provide a comprehensive monitoring and controll infrastructure capable of fulfilling the requirements for security, control-ability and reliability of a modern Smart Grid, several factors for the [...] es need to be considered. In this context Smart Grid systems operate on two time scales: first requiring delays in the order of μs for reporting events, e.g. short-circuits or component failures, and second [...] to minutes. In this paper we focus on how network technologies can support this communication requirement of Smart Grid operation. Therefore, the focus is on reliability and control-ability of the network …
