A Novel Utilization of Wireless Sensor Networks as Data Acquisition System in Smart Grids

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, after studying the demands and requirements of a perfect smart grid and specifications of network topology and sensor nodes utilized in a Wireless Sensor Network [WSN], a manipulated version of them is proposed to be combined with smart grid in order to improve the data acquisition step, increase the security and facilitate the process of information and desired commands from users. We will take the advantage of computer simulations to illustrate improved capacity and speed of this method. Finally, we will analyze the advantages of employing this proposed structure in a smart grid.
