Preliminary estimate of future communications traffic for the electric-power system
The results are presented of a study to promote diverse new generator technologies using renewable energy, and to improve operational efficiency throughout the existing electric power systems. A description of a model utility has been synthesized, and, by extrapolation of current and emerging practices, an estimate has been made of the information transfer requirements imposed by incorporation of dispersed storage and generation technologies and implementation of more extensive energy management methods. The estimates given are preliminary, speculative, and based on the functional and structural characteristics of a hypothetical utility. This report provides an example of possible traffic for an assumed system, and an approach that can be applied to other systems, control configurations, or dispersed storage and generation penetrations.
