Abstract-A communication infrastructure is an essential part to the success of the emerging smart grid. A scalable and pervasive communication infrastructure is crucial in both construction and operation of a smart grid. In this paper, we present the background and motivation of communication infrastructures in smart grid systems. We also summarize major requirements that smart grid communications must meet. From the experience of several industrial trials on smart grid with communication infrastructures, we expect that the traditional carbon fuel based power plants can cooperate with emerging distributed renewable energy such as wind, solar, etc, to reduce the carbon fuel consumption and consequent green house gas such as carbon dioxide emission. The consumers can minimize their expense on energy by adjusting their intelligent home appliance operations to avoid the peak hours and utilize the renewable energy instead. We further explore the challenges for a communication infrastructure as the part of a complex smart grid system. Since a smart grid system might have over millions of consumers and devices, the demand of its reliability and security is extremely critical. Through a communication infrastructure, a smart grid can improve power reliability and quality to eliminate electricity blackout. Security is a challenging issue since the on-going smart grid systems facing increasing vulnerabilities as more and more automation, remote monitoring/controlling and supervision entities are interconnected.Index Terms-Smart grid, communication infrastructure, intelligent network, interconnected power system, monitoring, sensing, cyber security I. BACKGROUND S MART grid is a term referring to the next generation power grid in which the electricity distribution and management is upgraded by incorporating advanced two-way communications and pervasive computing capabilities for improved control, efficiency, reliability and safety. A smart grid delivers electricity between suppliers and consumers using two-way digital technologies. It controls intelligent appliances at consumers' home or building to save energy, reduce cost and increase reliability, efficiency and transparency [1]. A smart grid is expected to be a modernization of the legacy electricity network. It provides monitoring, protecting and optimizing automatically to operation of the interconnected elements. It covers from traditional central generator and/or emerging renewal distributed generator through transmission network and distribution system to industrial consumer and/or home users with their thermostats, electric vehicles, intelligent appliances [2]. A smart grid is characterized by the bidirectional connection of electricity and information flows to create an automated, widely distributed delivery network. It incorporates the legacy electricity grid the benefits of modern communications to deliver real-time information and enable the near-instantaneous balance of supply and demand management [3]. Many technologies to be adopted by smart grid have alread...

“…Transmission and distribution involve delivering generated power from high/medium-voltage (HV/MV) to low-voltage (LV) through (step-up/step-down) transformers and eventually reaching the end-use sectors. Series of actions are regulated by a set of standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC, ANSI, CIP) [11]- [13] and a batch of data collection and automation [14] in order to operate the entire system consistently. Transmission lines connecting the various power facilities throughout the system construct the so-called power grid.…”

Abstract-The present electric power system structure has lasted for decades; it is still partially proprietary, energyinefficient, physically and virtually (or cyber) insecure, as well as prone to power transmission congestion and consequent failures. Recent efforts in building a smart grid system have focused on addressing the problems of global warming effects, rising energy-hungry demands, and risks of peak loads. One of the major goals of the new system is to effectively regulate energy usage by utilizing the backbone of the prospectively deployed Automatic Meter Reading (AMR), Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI), and Demand Response (DR) programs via the advanced distribution automation and dynamic pricing models. The function of the power grid is no longer a system that only supplies energy to end users, but also allows consumers to contribute their clean energy back to the grid in the future.In the meantime, communications networks in the electric power infrastructure enact critical roles. Intelligent automation proposed in smart grid projects include the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition/Energy Management Systems (SCADA/EMS) and Phasor Management Units (PMU) in transmission networks, as well as the AMR/AMI associated with field/neighborhood area networks (FAN/NAN) and home area networks (HAN) at the distribution and end-use levels. This article provides an overview of the essentials of the progressive smart grid paradigm and integration of different communications technologies for the legacy power system. Additionally, foreseeable issues and challenges in designing communications networks for the smart grid system are also rigorously deliberated in this paper.

Abstract. Smart meter reading system is the core of advanced metering infrastructure for Smart Grid. Wireless sensor network is an important means to realize the power information collection. Based on hierarchical strategy, this article proposed a method to establish routing in wireless smart meter reading system. This method provides reliable two-way communication routing, but also greatly reduces the collision probability of network communications. In order to verify the feasibility of the approach, a large number of simulation experiments were carried out. This idea has been applied in actual engineering practice.
