Enhancing Resilience in Critical Applications through hybrid Optical and PLTE Networks

Modern electric power systems are undergoing significant transformation driven by increasing requirements for reliability, flexibility, and real-time operational awareness. As distributed energy resources, advanced automation, and data-driven decision-making become more prevalent, communication networks have emerged as a critical enabler of distribution grid performance. These networks must support diverse applications with stringent requirements for resilience, low latency, and secure operation, which traditional single-technology communication solutions increasingly struggle to meet.
