WireIE and UOIT Release Collaborative Smart Grid White Paper |
RICHMOND HILL, Canada, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ - WireIE Holdings
International Inc. and University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT)
are pleased to release a comprehensive White Paper entitled "Developing a
Communication Infrastructure for the Smart Grid."
The White Paper walks through two future Distributed Generation (DG)
scenarios, as envisioned by the authors V.K. Sood, D. Fischer, and J.M.
Eklund from UOIT, and WireIE CTO Tim Brown.
The paper is a collaborative effort and details the communication
network and data management facilities required to meet the strict latency
requirements associated with the with DG scenarios discussed.
The WireIE/UOIT partnership is a long-term commitment by the partners
and focuses on the advancing of Smart Grid. A computer simulation based on
the White Paper is currently being worked on in order to validate the
conceptual design of the communication network and data management
facilities. The results of the computer simulation will be released in Feb.
2010.

Abstract:
The Smart Grid of the future, while expected to affect all areas of the
Electric Power System, from Generation, to Transmission, to Distribution,
cannot function without an extensive data communication system. Smart Grid
has the potential to support high levels of Distributed Generation (DG);
however the current standards governing the interconnection of DG do not
allow the implementation of several applications which may be beneficial to
the grid. This paper discusses some of the Smart Grid applications, and
estimates the communication requirements of a medium data intensive Smart
Grid device. Two issues that will become very important with the spread of
DG are DG Islanding and DG Availability. For each issue, we propose data
communication enabled solutions and enhancements.
