This paper focuses on the firm real-time requirements of Time-Critical Wide Area Measurement and Control systems, that are expected to play a major role in future Smart Grids. It analyses the operation of these systems and identifies their communication traffic characteristics. It shows that these characteristics are significantly different to those of the current near real-time Wide Area Measurement applications that provide visualization to support manual grid control. It then discusses the performance evaluation of these time critical systems and presents the second stage in an ongoing body of work aimed at developing models and techniques to carry out the performance evaluation process. It presents some preliminary results and outlines the direction for future work.

“…So, the third option turns out to be the best by taking advantages of both public and private networks. At present, wireless technologies are applied between distribution stations and distribution terminals [16]. We choose three typical kinds of access networks to form our hybrid output networks, which are listed in table II.…”

In the smart distribution gird, various communication technologies are adopted to form a seamless heterogeneous communication network to deliver control and protection signals. However, most scheduling strategies designed for smart gird aim at optimizing system operation performance without considering the transmission cost. To address this problem, we construct a delay-constrainted cost optimization model to accomplish the following two goals: to optimize the cost and to satisfy QoS requirements. Firstly, we establish a queuing model according to the characteristics of heterogeneous services and output networks for smart grid. Then, a delay-constrainted optimal traffic allocation strategy is designed to dynamically allocate heterogeneous service data to different output networks. The allocation strategy herein is based on the Lyapunov theory. Finally, simulation results show that our proposed allocation strategy significantly reduces the cost and meets transmission delay constraints for all service traffic.

“…Bringing the Smart Grid into existence involves the amalgamation of two complex individual systems, both of which are systems of bidirectional flow: flow of power in one case; and flow of information in the other. This amalgamation will produce one single system of even greater complexity (Budka 2010, Fan 2010. A successful realization of the Smart Grid will depend on the support of an appropriate, clearly defined and widely accepted architecture (Budka 2010, Fan 2010, Jeon 2011.…”

A successful realization of the Smart Grid will depend on the support of an appropriate, clearly defined and widely accepted architecture (Budka 2010, Fan 2010, Jeon 2011. In general, any such architecture will need to address problems of building the Smart Grid at multiple levels of abstraction, and to consider numerous different perspectives, e.g.…”

This paper addresses the challenge of developing an architecture for the Smart Grid with the particular focus to support Smart Grid communication. It considers the Smart Grid system in general to identify the relationship between the power distribution and communication networks, and then focuses mainly on Smart Grid communication requirements. It observes the similarity between the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for Smart Grid communications and those identified in multiservice networking. It reviews the principles of open communication and introduces architectures for open communication that have been enhanced to meet the requirements of multiservice. It discusses previous research into multiservice with a review into recent work focused on meeting the multiservice requirements of Smart Grid communications. Based on these, the paper presents key specific pointers toward defining a contextual control framework for the data transport system of the Smart Grid.
