informing end users of all required pricing parameters. 9) Communications: The intelligent functioning of the smart grid depends on the capability to support a communication layer in tandem with an energy delivery layer in the grid. 10) Fault tolerance/self-healing:
A key issue is a built-in ability to minimize the propagation of failures and resilience against such local failures.
This capability should be incorporated with monitoring, communication, and reconfiguration features of power electronics systems. Additionally, power electronics interfaces must be configured to avoid nuisance trips.
The two-way communication ability of smart meters allows the transmission of delivered and generated energy data along with actionable commands to customers.
Threshold voltage events can trigger communication with utilities for providing alerts to disturbances prior to customer equipment failure or discomfort.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 Standard (Communication Networks and Systems in Substations) provides authoritative information relevant to the design of substation automation 33.
Reconfiguring the system in islanded mode may require hitherto unknown rate and amount of data exchange, two-way communication links,
Fig. 5 shows how several communication technologies can be applied for such data, according to their characteristics.
Two-way-communication-enabled smart appliances, smart meters for control of sources, loads, and storage must be implemented in a platform that allows both digital information and electric energy to flow through a two-way smart infrastructure.
The requirements for these communication infrastructures are reliability and resilience, bandwidth, interoperability, and costs. Several communication protocols and media are currently under various stages of R&d for implementation in smart grids.
Examples include broadband over power line and power line communications which use existing power lines to transmit information;
