Abstract :
This paper discusses the architecture of the advanced metering and communication test bed installed on the ORNL (Oak Ridge National laboratory) distribution grid. The test bed is being exploited for many applications that serve the reliability of the grid, such as standard validation and implementation of the new encryption devices to improve cyber security.
