Abstract:Power transmission line management presents unique challenges, and a smart grid approach could effectively reduce costs and improve reliability. For years, wireless mesh networks have been studied because of their capability of providing good performance with low deployment cost even in environments with scarce communication infrastructure. Because of these characteristics, the employment of wireless mesh networks as a communication infrastructure for monitoring power transmission lines has gained popularity. … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
