An Edge-based Architecture for Phasor Measurements in Smart Grids

This article investigates the application of Kubernetes and Edge computing technologies to operate IT services within the context of power systems and smart grids. Traditional network monitoring services, such as Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and Phasor Data Concentrators (PDCs), require a centralized architecture and rigid network infrastructure to function properly, which is currently only implemented at the high-voltage transmission level (HV).

In addition, manual operation remains a primary method for maintaining PMUs/PDCs. This study innovatively implemented traditional PMU/PDC services as Docker containers within a decentralized Kubernetes cluster, capable of representing diverse geographically dispersed TCP/IP networks. Utilizing remote orchestration offers significant advantages:

 

  • there’s no need for manual reconfiguration of PMU-PDC communications during network changes,
  • automatic rerouting of PMU traffic if the PDC service relocates,
  • and reduced data loss if PDC fails, enhancing overall system resilience by minimizing ICT service downtime.
