Abstract
Background: Wireless sensor networks play very important role in the realization of Smart Grids having low cost and multi-functional sensor nodes to monitor the critical parameters of smart grid components. Its various applications are home automation, real time pricing, power outages, load control and security monitoring. It contains different harsh environments like 500 kV outdoor substation, main power control room and underground transformer vaults which are very difficult to access and monitor for a human being during an operational power grid. The communication in it constitutes of different type of traffic distinguished by exclusive attributes in terms of the data profile and latency requirement. Keywords: Wireless sensor network (WSN), IEEE 802.15.4, beacon, ZigBee, smart grid, QualNet 6.1.
