A preliminary study on physical configurations of communication networks for demand area power systems

摘要

Various dispersed elements connect each other for the operations of demand area power system, which is a kind of power distribution in the next-generation. The communications network for these operations can be configured in several manners. In order to clarify the optimal configuration of physical networks, these manners should be evaluated from many directions. In this paper, we give an account of the evaluation of the physical configurations of the network from availability, building costs, power consumption, and flexibility.
