Abstract
A reliable and resilient wireless communication
technology is needed for Smart Grids. The chosen
technology should enable seamless communication between
grid devices, applications, consumers, and operators. In
addition, it should guarantee adequate network resources
for smart grid functions by fulfilling bandwidth,
availability, QoS, and latency requirements. Energy
companies have been seeking for a cost-effective and
reliable communication technology to support their grid
automation and control. Evolved cellular technologies,
like LTE, have been found compelling, because they offer
low latency, high throughput, commercial advantages of a
global standard ecosystem, cost effective solutions in
comparison to dedicated communication infrastructures,
and rapid deployment. This paper presents the results of
a feasibility study of using commercial networks, namely
GSM, UMTS and LTE, for the remote control of medium
voltage electric distribution networks.
