Scope and Motivation
A smart grid is characterized by a two-way flow of electricity and information to create an automated and widely distributed energy delivery network that enables integration, effective cooperation, and information interchange among the many interconnected elements of the electric power grid. Needless to say that such a vision requires the use of highly reliable and secure communication networks.
Many network protocols exist today to adequately support differentiated quality of service, multiple levels of redundancy, multicast operation, over wired and wireless link layer technologies. However, piecing these protocols together in order to support a wide variety of smart grid applications ranging from demand response, smart metering, distribution and automation, to micro-grid management and control is far from trivial. Many challenges and unanswered questions remain beyond basic connectivity and coverage range including resiliency, reliability, adaptability and agility needed in many of the smart grid environments.
This symposium about communication networks for the Smart Grid is concerned with identifying the communication challenges posed by the various grid applications and their communication requirements and investigating adequate approaches for solving them.
