The Application of Wireless Broadband Communication for Smart Power Distribution and Utilization Networks

Abstract

The power wireless broadband communication is one of key support for smart power distribution and utilization networks, which is usually at the end of the power system communication network and deployed in where the optical fiber communication is not easy to achieve. In this paper, we design an application framework for the power wireless broadband communication. Meanwhile, we also present novel schemes of the application framework for the smart power wireless broadband communication including the technology scheme and access scheme. The operation shows our solution can effectively sense the environmental object and monitor the intelligent terminals in power distribution and utilization. Introduction The power wireless broadband communication is one of key support for smart power distribution and utilization networks, which is usually at the end of the power system communication network and deployed in where the optical fiber communication is not easy to achieve. The power wireless broadband communication has some good characteristics, such as large coverage area, the signal dispersion. It is a reasonable way to build a reliable, real-time, safe wireless communication network for electricity networks[1,2]. In the smart power wireless broadband communication network, there are some place are not suitable to deploy the optical fiber communication due to economic reasons or hard environments, for example, in the suburbs, the open countryside or in the basement of the complex ground conditions. Therefore, it is very necessary to employ the wireless broadband communication technologies to support the communication in the power distribution and utilization networks. Usually, according to the requirements of smart power distribution and utilization businesses, we divide the electric users into four types: category A: specifically large user, such as the large industrial factories; category B medium user, such as normally factories; category C: general industrial and commercial users; category D: single-phase general industrial and commercial users; category E and F usually are residential users assess public distribution transformer metering point as shown in Table 1[1].

In this paper, we design an application framework for the power wireless broadband communication including the terminal layer, the base station, the core network and the operation and maintenance center. Meanwhile, we also present novel schemes of the application framework for the smart power wireless broadband communication including the technology scheme and access scheme. The schemes can be used in the electricity information collection, distribution electrical automation, load management, and emergency communications and other smart grid services. Model In our solution, the application framework supports the whole application of smart power distribution and utilization communication system, which can be divided into parts as shown in fig .1.
