Evaluation of Linear Component Node Orchestration for IoT Clusters in Smart Grid Communication Networks

Abstract

Linear Component node orchestration (LCNO) is a novel paradigm that focuses on the use of smart routing procedures to derive random connectivity among nodes in a Smart grid communication network (SGCN). It eliminates the limitations in distributed communication involving Machine to Machine interactions among edge nodes in the substations. To achieve the aims; first, the edge layer for data stream parameter collection (from both homogenous and heterogeneous sources) is automated. Second, homogeneous linear-like Internet of Things (IoT) clusters are introduced for modular deployment at the distribution network. Third, interface protection monitoring for linear-chain topology in SGCN is deployed. To study the effect of the LCNO for system resilience, a simple routing protocol (SRP) is compared with Power-Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information System (PEGASIS) and Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH). Quality of service (QoS) results show that SRP is more efficient for monitoring the frequency and voltage parameters.
