Advances in Smart Grid Power System

2. Review of communication and optimal power flow in smart grids

At present, the numerous applications of SGs are based on an information architecture that confirms the transfer of information between multiple stakeholders and incorporates its input from heterogeneous information collection along with its distribution and analysis. In general, the SG communication system relies on two major subsystems, viz. the middleware platform and communication infrastructure [1]. Here the communication infrastructure is equipped with multiple leapfrogging technologies, a resilient networking infrastructure, and applicable communication protocols among appliances or subsystems of the grid to facilitate information sharing and execution of commands. Middleware ...
