La description de la thématique de recherche de l’équipe

In the future electric power systems that incorporate diversified renewable energy resources, automated and intelligent management is a critical component that determines the effectiveness and efficiency of these power systems. The management automation and intelligence which entitles the name Smart Grid to the next generation power systems. The smart control centers are expected to monitor and interact with the electric devices remotely in real time; the smart transmission infrastructures are expected to employ new technologies to enhance the power quality; and the smart substations are expected to coordinate their local devices self-consciously. As one of the enabling technologies, a fast, reliable and secure communication network plays a vital role in the power system management. The network is required to connect the magnitude of electric devices in distributed locations and exchange their status information and control instructions. Real-time bidirectional communications are the foundations to support the comprehensive power system management tasks which, in certain cases, require time-sensitive and data-intensive information exchange.
