Adaptive partitioning approach to self‐sustained smart grid

A Systems Approach to the Smart Grid

This paper presents the case for using a systems approach to analyse the requirements and behaviours of the Smart Grid as well as designing relevant solutions. By linking systems thinking to agent-based modelling, we discuss how a Smart Grid can be modelled as Multi-Agent Systems by reviewing some related state-of-the-art research. This paper goes on to outline two research areas that we are de...

On Partitioning Dynamic Adaptive Grid Hierarchies

This paper presents a computationally efficient runtime partitioning and load-balancing scheme for the Distributed Adaptive Grid Hierarchies that underlie adaptive mesh-refinement methods. The partitioning scheme yields an efficient parallel computational structure that maintains locality to reduce communications. Further, it enables dynamic re-partitioning and loadbalancing of the adaptive gri...

Intelligence-based approach to Smart Grid network communications

The dynamic nature of the communications technology market poses a challenge to utilities that are trying to understand how to choose and deploy the right solutions for their particular environment, with sufficient bandwidth for the foreseeable future. To make the investment worthwhile, the communications strategy for a Smart Grid network must be efficient, cost effective to deploy, and able to...

Introduction to Smart Grid Applications

An Adaptive Network Selection Algorithm for Smart Grid Communication

A key element to realize smart grids is an efficient and reliable communication network. Now smart grids could benefit from a multitude of heterogeneous radio access networks for communications independently of positions. The synergic operation of wireless network is a promising technology, which can improve the efficiency of smart grids significantly. In this paper, a new adaptive network sele...
