Abstract

Using smart grid technology in today energy
distribution systems will reduce cost, reach
manageability, provide safety of energy supply
chain to end customer and provide new innovative
energy service delivery.
Term “smart grid” can be explained with
following words – intelligent, self-sustained,
with management based on IP (Internet Protocol)
telecommunication network for transportation
of critical data in real-time from customer site
(smart meters, smart homes, smart buildings) and
distributed power plants to central management
station (energy service provider operations). Main
function of the central management station is to
acquire and evaluate stored data in real time and
based on this stored and evaluated data, in case of
emergency, power outage on some subsystem or
increased need for power on specific location, to
apply necessary steps in real-time. Therefore data
conformity and security in smart grid technology
is an important function concept to implement.
Nevertheless primary goal of smart grid
technology is to improve the efficiency, reliability
and safety of power delivery by modernizing both
the transmission and the distribution grids.
This article has a goal to provide a high-end
top-level view of a modern telecommunication
infrastructure needed to implement a smart grid
technology into an energy transmission and
distribution grid.

Keywords

energy distribution systems; smart grid; IP telecommunication networks; real time monitoring and control, data conformity and security
