Assessment of the Suitability of NB-IoT Technology for ORM in Smart Grids

In this paper, we assess the suitability of NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) cellular technology for smart grid applications, concentrating on the reliable and timely delivery of Outage Restoration Management (ORM) messages at the event of a local or regional power outage. Using system-level simulations modelling of both the cellular NB...

An Overview on the Reliability of Modern Power Electronic Based Power Systems

Renewable energy resources are becoming the dominating element in power systems. Along with de-carbonization, they transform power systems into a more distributed, autonomous, bottom-up style one. We speak of Smart Grid and Microgrid when distributed energy resources take over. While being a means to improve technical and financial efficiency,...
