Aim and Scope

Smart grid is a modernized power grid integrating digital information technology, communication technology, computer technology and power facilities. As an important part of smart grid, the access and management of distributed energy generators (DEGs) are gaining more and more attention. The intermittency and volatility generated by the large-scale access of DEGs will directly impact the security and stability of power system. On the other hand, the integration of DEGs generates huge amount of data on energy production and consumption, and the Edge/Fog computing techniques make it possible to use these data to improve the performance of DEG management and motivate the application of novel businesses. Thus, this session mostly concentrates the related technologies supporting or used in Edge/Fog computing in smart grid, including the communication, computation and data analysis technologies.
