Abstract

Modern communication mechanisms are at the heart of a Smart Grid system to ensure that the required information is transmitted within various components of the Electric Grid. Throughout this Master Thesis, we have studied how communication performance and Smart Grid Controllers effects the overall Smart Grid operation with focus on time and requirements to the network. For this we have implemented a network simulation using OMNeT++ to study smart grid network traffic and use the collected data to train a resource allocation learning algorithm implemented in Matlab. The method will enable us to have a real number evaluation of the choice of timing requirements for the communication network and the controller by taking into account the constraints present on the system.
