Applications of Wireless Sensor Network in Smart Grid

Abstract

The smart grid has been the hot topic all round the world, which involves many advanced technologies. It is very important for improving the managing efficiency, energy-saving, safe performances and so on. However, for it comes down to many subjects, its development has also been limited, applications of it in the grid has still existed some shortcomings. As a part of the new kind of communication techniques, it is good for solving these technical problems to improve and develop the wireless sensor network. In this paper, we firstly analyzed the characteristics and structures of the smart grid and wireless sensor network, then brought out the applications of wireless sensor network in the smart grid, by which we provides some reasonable suggestions to the related workers when they establish the grid.
