Towards an Internet-like Power Grid

The great challenges faced by modern power systems require a fresh look at the conventional operation paradigm. significant an innovative method for We claim that decarbonization of grid and extensive electrification numerous sectors human activity can only be fostered self-adaptable smart manifests similar qualities to those Internet. Internet is constructed on layered architecture facilitates technology innovations its intelligence distributed throughout hierarchy networks. In this paper, fundamental differences between network data flows are examined, basic requirements paradigm highlighted. current operated in highly inflexible, centralized manner meet increased security goals. A new flexible, realized distributing responsibility smaller areas or even components make autonomous decisions. characteristics such presented, key features advances on-going transition sustainable system identified. Finally, case study voltage control presented discussed.
