Abstract

In the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario, smart grids and more particularly microgrids, bring more intelligence and innovation to the historic and stablished power grid. However, the communication demands are elevated. To address microgrid requirements, an efficient and highly available communication network is required. This paper focuses on communication solutions for the microgrid considering the amount of data generated, the latency requirements and the security of the communication infrastructure. Named Data Networking (NDN) is a new Internet paradigm that is contentcentric and it can expedite the data dissemination within the microgrid communication network. Fog computing pushes the cloud to the edge, promising low latency which is in accordance with microgrid communications needs. This paper analyses the microgrid communications and control and it proposes a NDNFog approach for microgrid communications.
