In order to develop sophisticated systems with diverse components and versatile functions, it is a crucial and fundamental requirement to give a unique ID to each basic entity such as IP addresses in the Internet, social security numbers in welfare and health care systems etc.
This paper first introduce the concept of the power flow coloring, which gives a unique ID to each power flow between a specific power source and a specific power load.
Since the concept of the power flow coloring is attractive, there have been proposed several implementation methods that can be classified into three categories:
1. Power Line Switching
2. Power Routing (Store and Forward)
3. Synchronized Terminal Control
This paper gives an overview of these implementation methods and then describes our Peer-to-Peer cooperative distributed control method with several real world experimental results.
