Challenge and objective

  • Mission-critical smart distribution grid operations necessitate ultra-reliable, low-latency communications.
  • Managing dynamic service requests while meeting service-level objectives (SLOs) challenges to the network operators due to scarce resources.

Work performed

  • Developed a discrete event simulation that implements a two-tier admission control mechanism.

Significant results

  • To guarantee the SLOs for mission-critical traffic:
    • enforce prioritization for mission-critical traffic,
    • allocate reserved capacity for mission-critical traffic,
    • use flow-level admission control for non-mission-critical traffic.

Impact for distribution system innovation

  • Enhances resource allocation for mission-critical traffic.
  • Supports the integration of advanced technologies in smart grid operations.
