Worldwide, electrical grids are developing into smart grids. To ensure reliability, robustness and optimized resource usage, these grids will need to rely heavily on modern information and communication technologies. To support the achievement of these goals in communication networks, we evaluated the possibility of using software-defined networking (SDN) infrastructure based on OpenFlow, to provide a dependable communication layer for critical infrastructures.
