Microgrids are a feasible path to deploy smart grids, an intelligent and highly automated power system. Their operation demands a dedicated communication infrastructure to manage, control and monitor the intermittent sources of energy and loads. Therefore, smart devices will be connected to support the growth of grid smartness increasing the dependency on communication networks, which consumes a high amount of power. In an energy-limited scenario, one of the main issues is to enhance the power supply time. Therefore, this paper proposes a hybrid methodology for microgrid energy management, integrated with a communication infrastructure to improve and to optimize islanded microgrid operation at maximum energy efficiency. The hybrid methodology applies some control management rules, such as intentional load shedding, priority load management, and communication energy saving. These energy saving rules establish a trade-off between increasing microgrid energy availability and communication system reliability. To achieve a compromised solution, a continuous time Markov chain model describes the impact of energy saving policies into system reliability. The proposed methodology is simulated and tested with the help of the modified IEEE 34 node test-system.

“…In layer-3, this architecture employs Wi-Fi technology while we apply mobile 2G/3G or Ethernet technology in this paper. Fault locating is also considered as an example application to illustrate the proposed architecture in [7]. We choose the same example too, because it is really a good one to illustrate the advantage of short distance RF.…”

Abstract-Power distribution system is one of the important parts of smart grid. Due to its large scale, only a small part in power distribution system employs optical fiber infrastructure. In this paper, we propose an architecture of hybrid short distance RF and wide band communication. We analyze why these two technologies complementary well in power distribution level. We summarized three short distance RF network models according to different traffic mode. Then we discuss four essential issues when applying short distance RF regard our experience. Finally, we illustrate three successful use cases in China mainland. We believe that short distance RF can play an effective role only in the condition of binding with the application scenarios tightly.
