Tecnologías de Internet para diseñar la red eléctrica del futuro

Currently, the grid infrastructure is being evaluated in different countries: the point is that the grid is old and does not respond to the demands and needs of society. The next generation of this grid, often called "smart grid" must have distributed energy generation, more storage capacity, tens of millions of stochastic renewable energy sources, and the use of communication technologies, both to allow harmony between supply/demand and to encourage a proper behavior of the consumer. These challenges try to reduce energy loss and carbon footprint of the network, turning it into a more "intelligent" and "greener” grid. This document discusses how to apply the concepts and discovered-applied technologies in the Internet, which constitute the result of over four decades of research, to the design of the smart grid. This is possible because both networks are designed to satisfy the basic needs, of information and energy, through links between disperse geographically suppliers and consumers. Considering these and other similarities, –and also fundamental differences–, we propose several specific areas in which concepts and Internet technologies may contribute to the development of grid’s next generation. Some areas where is possible to improve Internet operations applying the experience acquired in the grid are also described.
