Abstract :
State-of-the-art Smart Grid design needs innovation in a number of dimensions: distributed and dynamic network with two-way information and energy transmission, seamless integration of renewable energy sources, management of intermittent power supplies, realtime demand response, and energy pricing strategy. To realize these, we have designed SmartGridLab, a wireless Smart Grid testbed to help the Smart Grid research community analyze and evaluate their designs and developed protocols in a lab environment.
