Preface and acknowledgement
For four months from November 2012 till February 2013, I did an internship at Alliander, an
energy distribution company which covers large areas in the Netherlands. Alliander core
business involves distributing gas and electricity to a huge amount of customers which is
about nearly a third of the Netherland’s population. This internship project is a part of my 2year master program which I conduct at University of Twente, the Netherlands.

I worked on an assignment project to investigate the use of the IEC 61850 standard for asset
management of LV Microgrids. The main content of the project is to use the IEC 61850
standardized data model and services to model the smart electrical equipment, and investigate
the interaction between different components within a network topology for Microgrids asset
management. This topic suits my major in telematics, and also brought me to a very new and
interesting area of using communication technologies in electricity network. Through the
assignment, I did not only gain a lot of knowledge but more importantly, I also had a great
chance to sharpen my skills in a professional working environment. Not less important than
the communication technologies that I have learnt is the communication skills that I have
