Abstract
The modern power system is rapidly growing in terms of its generation, transmission and distribution capabilities, resulting in the realization of smart grid. The most fundamental component of smart grid is the phasor measurement unit (PMU), which monitors the health of the smart grid in real-time and communicates these health metrics to the phasor data concentrator (PDC) which can be viewed as control center for processing. The PMU data contains time synchronized voltage and current phasors, which are referred to as synchrophasor data and which indicates the real-time heath of the grid. The synchrophasor data is communicated to remotely located PDC using synchrophasor communication system (SPCS) for analyzing and further processing to detect anomalies in the smart grid. The synchrophasor data should be communicated to the PDC effectively in real-time with minimum delay and maximum reliability. This paper explores the effect of various network layer routing protocols on the SPCS such as Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocols. The SPCS is designed and implemented using the QualNet5.2 network simulator and the performance is evaluated through the packet delivery ratio (PDR) and average end-to-end delay (ETD).
