9 Cooperative and Self-Organizing Sensor Networks

The Enabler for Smarter Grids

Alfredo Vaccaro, Antonio Iacoviello and Marjan Popov

The complexity of future smart grids and the expected high level of uncertainties in these networks might radically affect the required security and reliability of power systems operation. Wide-area measurement systems (WAMSs) involve the use of system-wide information and the communication of selected local information to a remote location to counteract the propagation of large disturbances and reduce the probability of potential catastrophic blackouts. It is expected that WAMS will in the future generally improve the reliability and security of energy production, transmission, and distribution, particularly in ...
