Software defined network communications: The likely standard for smart grids

A smart grid generates massive amounts of data with many data streams transmitting at different speeds. A critical decision for an electric utility is what type of communication technology will best serve the needs of a smart grid. The objective of this paper is to show that a version of a Software...

Description
Summary:A smart grid generates massive amounts of data with many data streams transmitting at different speeds. A critical decision for an electric utility is what type of communication technology will best serve the needs of a smart grid. The objective of this paper is to show that a version of a Software Defined Network has the potential to accommodate the communication needs of the grid operator and other customer/supplier groups that connect to the grid.
