Abstract
In this paper, the radio wireless communication and the narrowband power line communication are analysed, simulated and experimentally verified for Smart Metering systems. This is followed by the proposal of a heterogeneous network, which consists of wireless radio transmission and narrowband power line communication (PLC). In rural and remote areas, due to the low population density and the poor familiarity with new technologies, the heterogeneous radio-PLC network offers a solution for smart grid and smart metering applicationsDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eee.21.2.115015
Highlights
The Smart Metering is considered as one of the important research field for the Smart Grid solution
Communications in Smart Grid networks from the data acquisition centre to energy meters can be carried out via a great variety of technologies. These technologies could be narrowband power line communication (NB-PLC), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), general packet radio service (GPRS), broadband PLC (BBPLC), radio transmission or WiMAX
Are good, the ATM mode applies automatically multi-state modulation to achieve a high data rate. Information such as the effect of the height of repeater for radio network is not new, but the simulation conducted in this paper showed results for a specific rural area
Summary
The Smart Metering is considered as one of the important research field for the Smart Grid solution. For this field it is essential to have appropriate communication channels. There is no doubt that the Smart Grid will exploit multiple types of communication technologies, ranging from fibre optics to wireless and wireline. Communications in Smart Grid networks from the data acquisition centre to energy meters can be carried out via a great variety of technologies. These technologies could be narrowband power line communication (NB-PLC), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), general packet radio service (GPRS), broadband PLC (BBPLC), radio transmission or WiMAX. Heterogeneous-hybrid networks, which combine wireless and wire communication technologies, should be considered
