Abstract(s)
Emerging smart grid systems must be able to react quickly and predictably, adapting their operation to changing energy
supply and demand, by controlling energy consuming and energy storage devices. An intrinsic problem with smart
grids is that energy produced from in-house renewable sources is affected by fluctuating weather factors. The
applications driving smart grids operation must rely on a solid communication network that is secure, highly scalable,
and always available. Thus, any communication infrastructure for smart grids should support its potential of producing
high quantities of real-time data, with the goal of reacting to state changes by actuating on devices in real-time, while
providing Quality of Service (QoS).
