Relay Placement Problem in Smart Grid Deployment

  • Conference paper
Leveraging Applications of Formal Methods, Verification, and Validation (ISoLA 2010)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 6415))

Abstract

In this paper, we give an overview of power grid, smart grid, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and the deployment cost analysis step by step. The importance between Relay Placement Problem (RPP) and the deployment cost in an AMI system is highlighted. Additionally, a decision supporting system in a pilot AMI system funded by National Science Council (NSC) is briefly described where RPP is solved by an approximation algorithm.
