Abstract

The papers in this special section focus on the topic of smart grids. Smart Grids are an essential component of future energy systems, which are characterized by distributed, volatile energy production (solar, wind) and entirely new components (electric vehicles) and operation concepts (virtual power plants). Smart Grids are also a prominent example of Cyber Physical Systems, as they combine wide-area control, computation, and communications. While traditional automation of the power grid makes use of wireline communications (copper, fiber), Smart Grids require wide-area coverage with flexible, cost-efficient, but also very reliable communications networks. Therefore, wireless communication technologies will play an increasingly important role in future deployment scenarios. The investigated options range from cellular networks over satellite systems to wireless mesh networks. Also, the ongoing discussion of future 5G systems is driven by the requirements of Smart Grids as one major use case. Particular challenges for wireless communication options include availability, real-time capabilities for incident mitigation, and resilience. The performance evaluation of Smart Grids calls for new methods, such as the interdisciplinary hybrid simulation of energy and communication networks.

智能电网

本专题的论文集中于智能电网的主题。智能电网是未来能源系统的重要组成部分，其特点是分布式、不稳定的能源生产(太阳能、风能)和全新的组件(电动汽车)和运营概念(虚拟发电厂)。智能电网也是网络物理系统的一个突出例子，因为它们结合了广域控制、计算和通信。传统的电网自动化利用有线通信(铜线、光纤)，而智能电网则需要灵活、经济、可靠的通信网络覆盖广域。因此，无线通信技术将在未来的部署场景中发挥越来越重要的作用。研究的选择范围从卫星系统上的蜂窝网络到无线网状网络。此外，正在进行的关于未来5G系统的讨论是由智能电网作为一个主要用例的需求驱动的。无线通信选项面临的特殊挑战包括可用性、事件缓解的实时功能和弹性。智能电网的性能评估需要新的方法，如能源网络和通信网络的跨学科混合仿真。
