Network Architectures for Distributed Resource Management in Electric Power Systems

摘要

A network for managing distributed resources (DRs) is connected to an electric power system (EPS). The network includes a set of controllers, and multiple sets of the DRs, wherein each controller is connected to one of the sets of the DRs by a personal area network (PAN). A management system connects the EPS and the set of controllers by a wide area network (WAN). The EPS generates commands for selected DRs to take actions, the commands are routed to the selected DRs via the WAN and PANs.
