Best Paper Award for Papers on Software-Defined Networking in Smart-Grid

The best things come in threes: The institute is pleased to have the third Best-Paper Award given to researchers of the institute this year. This time it is a paper by Nils Dorsch, Fabian Kurtz and Christian Wietfeld, titled “Communications in Distributed Smart-Grid Control: Software-Defined vs. Legacy Networks“, which was presented at the international IEEE-Conference in Beijing, with the topic "Energy Internet and Energy System Integration". The research was partly conducted within the DFG-Research Group 1511 for protection and control technology for future energy supply and partly compiled within the German-French joint project BERCOM (Blueprint for Pan-European Resilient Critical Infrastructures based on LTE Communications, which is funded by the BMBF).
