Abstract
The research study on the use of Wi-Fi wireless communications in electric power substations was undertaken by the Newton-Evans Research Company on behalf of CIGRE B5, WG22 during January to May, 2006. The survey was sent to leading electric power utilities around the world. More than 80 utilities from 25 countries participated in the research program. Findings indicate that only minimal use is being made of Wi-Fi technology in electric power utility communications. The reasons for not using Wi-Fi wireless communications on a broader scale center around issues related to data security, and lack of familiarity with evolving data encryption standards being developed for use by electric utilities.
