Applying the appropriate communication technology to support grid requirements depends upon many factors beyond just the communication technology, how it is deployed (e.g., architecture) and operations. One method is to start with the grid services or processes needing support.
Ensuring the reliable and resilient delivery of electrical energy is critical for the U.S. economy, which increasingly relies on secure communications systems to support grid operations. Adapting to the grid of the future requires a comprehensive understanding of the differences between communication technologies that support grid operations.
Implementing the right communication technology effectively supports these requirements. Developing and deploying a robust, secure communications system necessitates a systematic approach that addresses multiple key factors to ensure that the performance requirements of grid operations are met.
These will include Quality of Service (QoS) attributes, including latency, throughput, bandwidth, jitter, packet loss, availability, and security. With the above requirements known, another determining factor for selecting grid communications is the current state of communications technologies in place at the electric utility.
