Power & Energy Magazine - Volume 21: Issue 5 - Sept./Oct. 2023: Grid Data and Communications

This issue focuses on emerging trends in communication networks for power systems operations. Communication networks have played a central role in power systems operation for decades for tasks ranging from communication within substations to providing system operators with visibility on the operating state of the grid. Modern power systems increasingly rely on secure access to data to support managing the grid, taking advantage of technological advances to allow the system to meet new challenges, such as supporting the increased penetration of inverter-based resources.
