Abstract
This master thesis deals with automated fault management in communication systems, with a particular interest on smart grid networks. Smart grid is the upcoming way to manage the electricity grid, using modern communication technics and a decentralized architecture. Due to the criticality of the data, smart grid systems use a two-networks solution, one primary and a backup one. Such configuration has been emulated in the simulator OMNeT++, using ADSL and LTE as a first and secondary network. A fault detection algorithm based on probe’s metrics such as end-to-end delay and inter-arrival time of probes, has been implemented. The results of the simulations show that the detection process is functional. However, the best performances are obtained using highfrequency probes, which can reduce the scalability of such systems. some future works could focus on the use of other principal networks such as Wireless Mesh, or simulations working on test beds.
