A Survey on EPON-Based Communication Networks for Smart Grid

Abstract:

The smart grid is emerging as a convergence of information and communication technology with power system engineering, and many network technologies can be used for communications in the generation, distribution and consumption part of the smart grid. However, finding the most appropriate technology that can satisfy their future communication needs is still a challeging issue. In this paper, we survey EPON-based communication systems for Neighborhood area networks (NAN) of smart grid, and both field based application and customer based application are discussed.
