Abstract:

The Smart Grid, regarded as the next generation power grid, uses two-way flows of electricity and information to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery network.  A smart grid can be decomposed into the smart infrastructure system, smart management system and smart protection system. In this talk, I will focus on the use of communication and networking technologies for better managing, monitoring and protecting future smart grid. I will present both the state-of-the-art practice, standardization efforts as well research challenges in these areas.
