    Communication Network Solutions for Smart Grids

    8.5 Communications network solutions for distribution networks (Backhaul/Access communication)


    Wireless mesh From consumer access to RMU backhaul The applications for wireless mesh networks stretch from consumer access to RMU backhaul. Wireless mesh networks are composed of cooperating radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. The underlying technology for communication from one hop to another can be standardized (for example, the IEEE 802.11 series [Wi-Fi] or IEEEE 802.15.4 [low-rate wireless personal area network, LoWPAN]) or proprietary (for example, U.S. 900-MHz technologies). The mesh protocols and corresponding routing mechanisms are, on the other hand, more recent developments and therefore are still predominantly proprietary. Thanks to their mesh properties along with self-setup and self-healing mechanisms, mesh networks inherently offer ease of operation and redundancy for xed applications but performance is limited in terms of either coverage or bandwidth. Detailed requirements as well as specic regional conditions must be carefully assessed in order to select the best-suited technology. Basic technical data Average data rate per hop: from ~100 kbps (U.S. 900-MHz) up to ~10 Mbps (Wi-Fi); net data rates per hop decrease with increasing number of hops Average range hop-to-hop: ~1 km nLoS/~5 km LoS (U.S. 900-MHz); ~100 m nLoS/~1 km LoS (Wi-Fi) coverage extension by means of mesh Radio spectrum primarily in license-exempt frequency bands Public cellular networks For the extension of private communication networks The main application areas for public mobile radio networks in the Smart Grid context are meter reading and energy grid monitoring functions. In contrast to constructing new, proprietary networks for Smart Grid communication, there is also the option of using existing cellular radio networks owned by communication service providers. These networks are standards-based, deployed worldwide, and continuously upgraded and expanded. Activities like acquiring spectrum licenses, building, operating and maintaining the network as well as assuring sufcient coverage and bandwidth on a nationwide scale are naturally managed by the communication service providers. Data rates normally available range from 50 kbps (GPRS), over 10 Mbps (HSPA), to over 50 Mbps (upcoming LTE). Attractive data tariffs and the availability of the network are key to use public cellular networks for Smart Grid applications.
