The smart grid is a new paradigm that aims to modernize the legacy power grid. It is based on the integration of ICT technologies, embedded system, sensors, renewable energy and advanced algorithms for management and optimization. The smart grid is a system of systems in which communication technology plays a vital role. Safe operations of the smart grid need a careful design of the communication protocols, cryptographic schemes, and computing technology. In this article, the authors describe current communication technologies, recently proposed algorithms, protocols, and architectures for securing smart grid communication network. They analyzed in a unifying approach the three principles pillars of smart-gird: Sensors, communication technologies, and security. Finally, the authors elaborate open issues in the smart-grid communication network

Lahirnya konsep Smart Grid tidak lepas dari issue global terkait dampak lingkungan hidup akibat penggunaan energy berbahan fosil secara massif yang semakin hari cadangan energy yang tersimpan akan habis dalam beberapa tahun kedepan dan diperlukan sumber energy baru yang terbarukan (non fosil).  Implementasi Smart Grid sudah banyak di terapkan dibeberapa negara, termasuk di Indonesia, konsep Smart Grid dan prototipe sudah diimplementasikan dibeberapa kota walau populasinya belum banyak. Pilar utama selain listrik, dalam konsep Smart Grid ini adalah komunikasi dan IT, dimana diperlukan komunikasi dua arah antar mesin dan saling terintegrasi antar grid. Pada kanvas ini diusulkan konsep MUSI (Multy Utility Service Infrastructure) sebagai media komunikasi dalam implementasi Smart Grid dengan menggunakan jenis kabel OPLC (Optical Low Composite Cable), dimana dua infrastruktur yang berbeda menjadi satu konsep. Pada pembahasan ini metode yang digunakan adalah studi literature, pengamatan dan data, ondesk survey, analisa keekonomian (techno economy) dan pengambilan kesimpulan. Hasil dari analisa finansial yang dilakukan bahwa dengan menggunakan model MUSI yang diajukan, NPV dengan MARR 20% didapatkan nilai positif, dan IRR sekitar 34%, sementara jika dilakukan dengan metode konvensional, NPV dengan MARR 20% didapatkan nilai negatif, dan IRR dibawah 0% (negatif).

Concerns with global warming prompted many governments to mandate increased proportion of electricity generation from renewable sources. This, together with the desire to have more efficient and secure power generation and distribution, has driven research in the next-generation power grid, namely, the smart grid. Through integrating advanced information and communication technologies with power electronic and electric power technologies, smart grid will be highly reliable, efficient, and environmental-friendly. A key component of smart grid is the communication system. This paper explores the design goals and functions of the smart grid communication system, followed by an in-depth investigation on the communication requirements. Discussions on some of the recent developments related to smart grid communication systems are also introduced.

Introduction: This article is the product of the research “Study of the IPv6 Protocol in the data model of the Smart Grid distribution domain” developed at the Universidad del Valle and carried out during 2019. Problem: There is an immediate need to establish standards and protocols for the Smart Grid for both the electrical components and the component technologies of information and communication. Objective: The objective of the research is to characterize the use of IPv6 in the context of the communications domain distribution of the Smart Grid. Methodology: The work defines a virtualization environment in which the performance of IPv6 in the domain distribution of the Smart Grid will be evaluated; this evaluation includes measurement and analysis of delays as well as traffic volumes, bandwidth, cyber-security conditions, and time allocation of network addresses. Results: The IPv6 protocol is considered as a viable alternative in the Smart Grid communication model in order to comply with the communication requirements. Conclusion: The implementation of Quality of Service QoS in IPv6 defined in RFC2474 is essential in the Smart Grid communication network in order to meet the communication requirements of the defined applications. Originality: There is great expectation that networks based on the Internet Protocol will serve as a key element for communications within the Smart Grid. Limitations: The wide scope and dimensions involving Smart Grids, it is almost impossible to implement the communication network of a Smart Grid completely in a single simulation tool or emulation.
