Research of the Wireless Communication Technologies in Distribution Automation

Abstract

Wireless communication technologies such as public wireless network, power private wireless network, wireless mesh network and LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) are widely used in power grid communication in recent years, but the application principle of these technologies are still not clear when they are used in the communication network for distribution automation. On the base of the contrastive analysis of the technical characters of different wireless communication technologies, this paper gives an application suggestion of wireless communication technologies in distribution automation, which can guide the planning and construction of the communication network for distribution automation.
