Distributed Power Generation: Requirements and Recommendations for an ICT Architecture

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Engineering ((ENVENG))

Abstract

Contemporary power distribution faces various new challenges. Most of those challenges have a strong impact on the ICT-structure required and on system architecture. This contribution briefly introduces changes and requirements imposed, both for trading and distribution of power. On this basis, alternatives for ICT architectures are discussed, recommendations are made on implementation choices for a meaningful sustainable solution, and communication and security challenges are addressed.
