Research on Application of Wireless Bridge Technology in the Smart Grid

The construction of smart grid, in the meet of communication network core layer must have the strong bearing capacity and the strong network frame, also requires the access layer have the wide variety and flexible edge access ability. In this article, in accordance with the technical features of the smart grid communication network, combined with the Global Energy Interconnection to the requirement of all kinds of communication. The wireless bridge system based on the IEEE 802.11 series protocol as flexible edge access is applied to the smart grid communications, to forward the power wireless bridge structure design and the bridge monitoring management platform design and safety protection design. The use of a wireless bridge will increase the transmission quality of signal, distance and the safety of the transmission. In this article, the wireless bridge in the application of the smart grid electric power communication network has a role in promoting, has a guiding significance to the construction of the smart grid communication.

Future smart grid communication-deployment of IoT: opportunities and challenges

India’s electrical power system grid also known as the power grid is serving us from a very long time. In this duration, there were no major developments or changes reported in the power grid system. Electrical power consumer demand is increasing drastically and the present grid system is not able to fulfil these emerging requirements. To fulfil the requirements of future power load, we need a modified system which has to be reliable, secure, intelligent and efficient. By converting the power grid into the smart grid will be a promising solution for adopting the above properties. Communication Infrastructure is a major part of the smart grid. The end-user can reduce their expenditure on electricity demand by using smart home appliance, to keep away from the rush hours and also make use of the renewable energy instead from utility, is a great example of deployment of internet of things (IoT) in grid communication. In this paper, we have provided a survey of different communication technology, applications, benefits and challenges in communication infrastructure, spatially IoT.
