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,...

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...
