Über dieses Buch

This brief presents a comprehensive review of the network architecture and communication technologies of the smart grid communication network (SGCN). It then studies the strengths, weaknesses and applications of two promising wireless mesh routing protocols that could be used to implement the SGCN. Packet transmission reliability, latency and robustness of these two protocols are evaluated and compared by simulations in various practical SGCN scenarios. Finally, technical challenges and open research opportunities of the SGCN are addressed. Wireless Communications Networks for Smart Grid provides communication network architects and engineers with valuable proven suggestions to successfully implement the SGCN. Advanced-level students studying computer science or electrical engineering will also find the content helpful.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
The power grid (also referred to as the electrical grid) is an interconnected network that generates and delivers electric energy to its consumers. In the early days of electricity (the late 1800s), energy systems were small and localized. As technologies evolved, larger plants and longer transmission and distribution lines were constructed to provide more electricity to a growing population. As a result, today, the power grid has become extraordinarily complex and widespread.

Chapter 2. Smart Grid Communications Network (SGCN)
Abstract
This chapter provides a top-level system description as well as technical details for the SGCN so as to help readers grasp system and network requirements and challenges when designing and implementing the SGCN. Specifically, this chapter elaborates on the overall architecture of the SGCN by decomposing it into three representative network segments. For each segment, details regarding required communication delay, bandwidth, network coverage and potential applications are addressed. Since inter-operability is one of the most vital concerns in the SGSN, this chapter then gives an overview on the standards for the SGCN developed by various organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the National Institute and Technology (NIST). Finally, this chapter discusses QoS attributes and requirements of the various elements in the SGCN.

Chapter 3. Wireless Communications Technologies for the SGCN
Abstract
As the enabling technology of the SG, a viable design for the SGCN is crucial. Further, the choice of communications technology per segment will greatly alter deployment and maintenance costs as well as overall performance. With that in mind, in this chapter, an in-depth survey of representative communications technologies with a focus on wireless technologies is presented. Then, a typical implementation of the SGCN is shown with IEEE 802.15.4, IEEE 802.11 and cellular networks for the HAN, NAN and WAN, respectively.

Chapter 4. Wireless Routing Protocols for NANs
Abstract
In order to determine suitable routing protocols for the SGCN, this chapter surveys various existing routing protocols designed for wireless mesh networks. The focus is given to protocols that could be used for the NAN which is the most important segment of the SGCN. Based on this survey, the main operating principles along with weaknesses and strengths of the two candidate routing protocols are presented. Specifically, the Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR) and the Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) are chosen to represent the location-based and self-organizing coordinate routing protocols, respectively. Finally, since the robustness is one of the key requirements of the NAN, this chapter presents a proactive parent switching (PPS) scheme, as an extension for RPL, to handle network element failures.

Chapter 5. Performance and Feasibility of GPSR and RPL in NANs
Abstract
Given the two promising routing protocols for wireless mesh NANs, namely GPSR and RPL, this chapter presents extensive simulations carried out with IEEE 802.11-based radio and practical system parameters related to the NAN’s characteristics and deployment scenarios specified in SG standards. For the robustness of routing protocols against network element failures, this chapter investigates the capability of PPS in rerouting traffic around non-connected network regions caused by SM malfunctions. The obtained results reveal the advantages of RPL against the GPSR in terms of its network condition awareness and superior performance. They also demonstrate that PPS can effectively improve the network resilience by adaptively forwarding the traffic over multiple alternative paths.

Chapter 6. SGCN: Further Aspects and Issues
Abstract
Previous chapters have provided a big picture, detailed characteristics and requirements of the SGCN, as well as investigations on candidate communications technologies and networking protocols for this network. As an attempt to identify possible future research trends in the SGCN, this chapter outlines a number of technical challenges and corresponding work directions in this network. Specifically, security, machine-to-machine communications, network coding, cloud computing, software-defined networking, network virtualization, smart grids and smart cities are addressed.
