Abstract

Smart grids aim at improving the existing power grid with active smart devices and decen- tralized energy resources. This concept also introduces smaller scale power generation and distribution infrastructures called microgrids and nanogrids. Accordingly, this paper details a testbed platform for an ad hoc self-organized nanogrid. The proposed nanogrid aims at cre- ating an adaptive, scalable, and reliable power network that employs distributed resources to support energy provisioning with limited infrastructural planning. To support fully distributed power provisioning we employ smart routing devices which execute a decentralized routing protocol. Deployment scenarios include electrification and energy sharing in isolated rural areas and in post-disaster situations. We detail the provisioning protocol and we evaluate its adaptiveness, resiliency and scalability in a simulated system.
