Reliability Assessment for Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications in Cyber-physical Energy Systems

Abstract

This paper analyzes the reliability of cyber-physical energy systems with the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) and renewable distributed generation (DG) units. ICT architecture including multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems that communicate with DG units and storage systems through ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) is proposed for cyber-physical energy systems. Reliability for URLLC is analyzed by measuring bit-error rate and signal to noise ratio performance metrics. The results show that more reliable and sustainable energy can be supplied to consumers with the integration of ICT and renewable DGs into the electrical power grid.
