Smart Grid and Computer Network: How Analogous Are They?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Technological advances allowing optimal exploitation of renewable energy sources and the development of new information and communications technology (ICT), have led to the appearance of a new network so-called Smart Grid. This article is dedicated to the study of similarities and differences between the smart grid and the computer network, thus, in order to better carry out this comparison. Firstly, we present the structure, operational model and benefits of smart grid. Secondly, we identify analogous quantities and similar parameters between the two networks.

متن کاملVery Fast Load Flow Calculation Using Fast-Decoupled Reactive Power Compensation Method for Radial Active Distribution Networks in Smart Grid Environment Based on Zooming Algorithm
Distribution load flow (DLF) calculation is one of the most important tools in distribution networks. DLF tools must be able to perform fast calculations in real-time studies at the presence of distributed generators (DGs) in a smart grid environment even in conditions of change in the network topology. In this paper, a new method for DLF in radial active distribution networks is proposed. The ...
