Management of Distributed Electrical Storage in Wide Area Communication Systems

Centralized electrical storage system management in islanded micro-grids is treated both theoretically and experimentally. An overview of the types of distributed islands in Wi-Fi Long Distance networks is the starting point, followed by examples of WiLDNets and associated reliability problems. Presentation of an archetypical tree structure communication system serves to introduce a centralized management system that may be used to improve reliability of multi-community private networks. An existing Wi-Fi long distance testbed with distributed storage serves as an islanded micro-grid for experimental study. Centralized management algorithms are tested. The results are generalized to the case of large meshed communication system.
