Abstract
Future smart grids will require a flexible, observable, and controllable network architecture for reliable and efficient energy delivery under uncertain conditions. They will also necessitate variability in distributed energy generators and demand-side loads. This study presents a tree-like user-mode network architecture responding to these requirements. The approaches presented for the next-generation grid architecture facilitate the management of distributed generation strategies based on renewable sources, distributed storage, and demand-side load management.
