Abstract

A smart grid is a complex system consisting of a
wide range of electric grid components, entities controlling power
distribution, generation and consumption, and a communication
network supporting data exchange. This paper focuses on the
influence of imperfect network conditions on smart grid con-
trollers, and how this can be counteracted by utilizing Quality
of Service (QoS) information from the communication network.
Such an interface between grid controller and network QoS
is particularly relevant for smart grid scenarios that use third
party communication network infrastructure, where modification
of networking and lower layer protocols are impossible. This
paper defines a middleware solution for adaptation of smart grid
control, which uses network QoS information and interacts with
the smart grid controller to increase dependability. In order to
verify the methodology, an example scenario of a low voltage
grid controller is simulated under imperfect network conditions.
