How can communications support the grid of the future?
Ensuring the reliable and resilient delivery of electrical energy is critical for the U.S. economy, which increasingly relies on secure communications systems to support grid operations. Adapting to the grid of the future requires a comprehensive understanding of the differences between communication technologies that support grid operations.
How do I use communication technology to support grid requirements?
Applying the appropriate communication technology to support grid requirements depends upon many factors beyond just the communication technology, how it is deployed (e.g., architecture) and operations. One method is to start with the grid services or processes needing support.
How do different customer bases influence grid utility operations?
Different customer bases, including residential, commercial, and industrial users, influence grid utility operations. Industrial-heavy regions may focus on high reliability and power quality, while residential areas emphasize energy efficiency and demand management.
Why do grid utilities rely on communications providers?
Communications providers offer specific physical connectivity such as leased fiber lines or services such as cellular, Ethernet, or others. This reliance on providers represents a potential risk that grid utilities need to understand and incorporate into their recovery planning.
How do I select a grid communications system?
With the above requirements known, another determining factor for selecting grid communications is the current state of communications technologies in place at the electric utility. Establishing the current state will form a basis for assessing the cost and effort required to implement the new communications required.
What is grid communication?
Much of grid communication is performed over purpose-built communication networks owned and maintained by grid utilities. Broadly speaking, grid communication systems are comprised of multiple transport technologies and protocols carried by a variety of media.
