Abstract
A brief concept of the smart city consists of using the technology to improve the urban infrastructure, to optimize the use of resources and services to turn the urban center a better place to live. This chapter provides a review of the communications technologies and network protocols used in the power distribution grid, for example, Modbus, DNP 3.0, and IEC 61850. It reviews the communications requirements of the different applications for distribution automation (DA), that is distribution system monitoring, control, and protection outside the substations. The chapter presents a resource allocation strategy for a Long‐Term Evolution‐device‐to‐device (LTE‐D2D) system model for a power distribution grid based on an optimization formulation. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of half/full‐duplex LTE‐D2D technology for power distribution grids. A smart grid (SG) consists of a huge number of devices distributed over a large geographical region, with different demands and connected through a communication network.
