Abstract:The existing power grid is going through a massive transformation. Smart grid technology is a radical approach for improvisation in prevailing power grid. Integration of electrical and communication infrastructure is inevitable for the deployment of Smart grid network. Smart grid technology is characterized by full duplex communication, automatic metering infrastructure, renewable energy integration, distribution automation and complete monitoring and control of entire power grid. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are small micro electrical mechanical systems that are deployed to collect and communicate the data from surroundings. WSNs can be used for monitoring and control of smart grid assets. Security of wireless sensor based communication network is a major concern for researchers and developers. The limited processing capabilities of wireless sensor networks make them more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The countermeasures against cyber-attacks must be less complex with an ability to offer confidentiality, data readiness and integrity. The address oriented design and development approach for usual communication network requires a paradigm shift to design data oriented WSN architecture. WSN security is an inevitable part of smart grid cyber security. This paper is expected to serve as a comprehensive assessment and analysis of communication standards, cyber security issues and solutions for WSN based smart grid infrastructure.

“…This will ensure the stable and robust operation of networks which require a sufficient quality of the infused energy produced by AESs. Moreover, the deployment of Smart Grids is strongly dependent on the use of new wireless communications techniques from both monitoring, control and conveying critical data from/to RES units [18,19]. To this end, cooperative communications (CCs) can be deployed in order to allow reliable transmission of information related to the aforementioned characteristics of each RES.…”

In this work, a novel performance analysis method for evaluating the robustness of emerging power distribution networks (PDNs), which involve deployable renewable energy sources, is proposed. This is realized with the aid of the outage probability (OP) criterion in the context of cooperative communications, which is widely considered in modern wireless communication systems. The main usefulness of this method is that it allows the involved components to communicate to each-other by means of a robust and flexible wireless sensor network architecture. In this context, any conventional medium voltage (MV) bus of the PDN is represented as a wireless relay node where data signals gathered from each MV bus can be forwarded reliably to a control station for the subsequent processing. The received signals at wireless nodes are decoded and then forwarded to ensure minimal errors and maximal robustness at the receiving site. The considered OP analysis denotes the probability that the power of a received information signal drops below a pre-defined threshold which satisfies the acceptable Quality of Service requirements of a reliable signal reception. To this end, simple closed-form expressions are proposed for the OP of a regenerative cooperative-based PDN in the presence of various multipath fading effects, which degrade information signals during wireless transmission. The offered results are rather simple and provide meaningful insights for the design and deployment of smart grid systems.
