15 3 A Technology Challenge 15 IEEE SmartGridComm 2010 October 5 th 2010

16 Communications is the key enabler for the smart grid vision The different types of utility communications Operational communications Production communications: where grid safety and security are paramount Other communications: where grid efficiency is the driver Business communications Everyday business nonoperational voice and data traffic Multiple operational networks to consolidate Ultimately, converging on a single communications infrastructure Communications modernization is required to make Smart Grid a reality 16 IEEE SmartGridComm 2010 October 5 th 2010

17 IP/MPLS: Enabling the transformation of networks and operations Each service has its own network A mix of networking technologies All services in one network Optimization Simplification IP: the technology of tomorrow Brings simplicity of design and operation But changes the way networks are designed, built and operated Existing applications: the reality of today Critical applications that must be supported Safety and reliability must be maintained Turning a "revolution" into an "evolution" 17 IEEE SmartGridComm 2010 October 5 th 2010

18 A transformation use case Teleprotection using IP/MPLS Use case: A Transmission or a Distribution operator deploys a converged IP network to be used for all current and future smart grid applications: Teleprotection, SCADA, Mobile workforce, Smart meter, etc. Optimization Simplification Requirement: Different applications have different latency allowances ranging from ~10ms for Teleprotection to 1s for e.g. On demand SCADA Challenge: Satisfy very strict latency and high reliability requirements of teleprotection (today being performed with redundant TDM networks) 18 IEEE SmartGridComm 2010 October 5 th

19 A transformation use case Teleprotection using IP/MPLS: the role of standards The challenge to communication applications Typical telecommunications applications are less demanding in terms of delay: VoIP acceptable latency is around 200ms versus expected 10 ms for teleprotection But field trials are increasingly considering the use of teleprotection over IP Possible optimizations Traffic engineering recommendations (Best Current Practices) for configuring the IP network to isolate the teleprotection traffic Evolution of current teleprotection systems using TDM interfaces. Mapping TDM to IP based networks consumes a part of the 10ms delay budget Consider native teleprotection over IP This may require an evolution of standards TDM Packets moving in this direction TDM Equip.

22 Planes vs. actors of the Smart Grid value chain Actors Energy Plane Control & Connectivity Plane Service Plane Grid operator: DSO Grid operator: TSO Consumers/Suppliers/generators Energy Marketplace Actors Grid Communication/ Communication Network Provider Service Providers Increasing level of Involvement All actors can (and usually do) play a role in each of the 'planes' 22 IEEE SmartGridComm 2010 October 5 th 2010

23 Power meets ICT: a sub-system view Communication is seen as a service provided by a sub-system Risk: 'field' communication separated from the 'public' (or internet) one For clarification: role of network and service providers A part of the IEC SG3 functional architecture Harmonizing the sub-system and plane view (in standards) is key 23 IEEE SmartGridComm 2010 October 5 th 2010
