Class-Based Grid Field Area Communication with Named Data Networking Approach

Using electricity from new and renewable energy sources is a potential solution to combat climate change. With the introduction of renewable energy, an intelligent control system must address the issues of intermittent and non-dispatchable renewable energy generators. A reliable communication system with minimal packet loss and latency is required for grid systems, especially to support advanced distributed and renewable grid control systems. The Named Data Network (NDN), which has effective routing, forwarding, and caching methods, provides options to meet the communication needs of grid communications. This study proposes a grid-based Field Area Network communication design with the NDN approach. Based on the simulation results, the FAN traffic meets the QoS specifications required to travel over the NDN network. Queuing combined with traffic arrangement can improve the network's QoS, lowering latency in priority packets and reducing packet loss & interest timeout in the network. However, queuing can result in longer delays for lower-priority traffic.
