Abstract

The smart grid communication infrastructure will emerge from the interconnection of a large number of small-scale networks organized into a hierarchical architecture of Home Area Networks (HANs), Feighborhood Area Networks (FANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). FANs form the communication facility for the electricity distribution systems and act as a bridge between customer premises and substations with collectors, access points and data concentrators. However, the existing communications network is insufficient for the FANs due to the factor that it does not cover the distribution side. This paper focuses on design and implementation of communication system for FANs in the smart grid. The communication infrastructure using Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs) is ultilized. Based on the power system applications operating in the distribution domain, communication system for both field based application and customer based application are presented
