To satisfy requirements from various applications in the smart grid, transmitting data robustly and reliably has become one of the most crucial tasks. However, existing routing protocols like CTP, LEACH, HWMP cannot be directly applied to the smart grid system. In this paper, we propose RH-HWMP, which provides robust data transmission for the neighbor area network (NAN) in the smart grid. The main...
A key aspect of realizing the future smart grid communication solution is a balanced approach between the network performance and the network security during the network deployment. A high security communication flow path is not useful when the network path cannot support capacity and reachability requirements. The deployment phase in communication network can facilitate an optimal network path by...
With the rise of drones, providing a strong connectivity to the drones has become an indispensable part. Especially when the multiple drones are deployed, communication among each drone and a ground control station (GCS) is essential for delivering control message. However, traditional routing algorithms take too long time to construct routing table (eg. proactive routing protocol) or require large...
The smart grid (SG) is widely acknowledged asthe new solution to be developed to handle distributed network fighting against the increase of renewable energy. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been extensively recognized as a promising technology that can improve various aspects of electrical models today as smart grid. Hence, WSNs are well suited for applications based on this type of communication...
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network is the capillary communication network for smart grid that does not only provide the data collection from each household but also delivers configuration requests from intelligent energy services. However, the smart grid network challenges like heterogeneity, large-scale, and distributed operation must be solved for reliable and stable smart grid services...
This paper evaluates the Depth First Forwarding (DFF) protocol — a reliable data forwarding mechanism for use in low power, lossy networks. Routing protocols used for lossy networks typically take time to converge if the topology changes, during which data failure may occur. DFF was proposed to help reduce this; it reacts to data delivery failures at a node by trying to successfully deliver the packet...
Communication is the heart of the Smart Grid. Smart Grid metering and control applications require fast, reliable and secured two-way communication network. In this study, random signal strength (RSS) based localization of smart meters of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) has been proposed using the location information of meters whose position are known. Based on the location information, a...
Communication networks play a crucial role in the context of Smart Grids since they enable a broad set of appealing facilities, from both producers and consumers side, to be effectively delivered. So far, several standards (e.g., IEC 61850-5) have been presented aiming to detail the specific requirements for such networks on the Smart Grid domain. However, the definitions proposed by these standards...
Driven by the need to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact, we observe a thrust towards enabling a Smart Grid. It is envisaged that to achieve these goals, the Smart Grid will be equipped with communications infrastructure and mechanisms which will enable near real time control of the grid components. One of the key elements of the Smart Grid is the Automated Metering Infrastructure...
