Abstract

High quality, high throughput sensor devices in the power distribution network are driving an increase in the volume and the rate of data streams available to monitor and control the power grid. Middleware support is essential to coordinate data streams with distributed power models and adapt to situations with data communication failures and errors in the sensor measurements. One challenge in designing this middleware support is scalability. In particular, the number of sensor devices and their intercommunications is a significant factor in determining temporal and functional properties of power models such as distributed state estimation. In this paper, we present our experience modeling the entire data flow from sensor devices to distributed state estimators using middleware. This model helps to analyze the middleware's behavior and its scalability in coordinating data streams.
