Recently, the networking of all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) fiber-optic cable has received attention as a solution to serve the needs of telecommunication networks and Internet connectivity for smart citie.
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.
Can commercial networks and integer programming improve smart-grid network performance?
A representative optical backbone network has been utilized to demonstrate the proposed optimization framework whose simulation results indicate that superior smart-grid network performance can be achieved using commercial networks and integer programming.
What is optical data transmission (fiber optics)?
The technology of optical data transmission (fiber optics) in electrical transmission lines has been in development for over 40 years, resulting in numerous standards and solutions that are still in use today (Nanda and Kothari, 1995).
What is a smart grid communication infrastructure?
This person is not on ResearchGate, or hasn't claimed this research yet. 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).
Can ADSS network infrastructure be integrated into electric power cables?
Nowadays, optical fiber has been widely integrated into electric power cables and is nearly present in the cable for each voltage level [ 74, 75 ]. The acceptance of ADSS network infrastructure can be developed for the following five key strategic goals.
What are the applications of optical fibers in electrical power engineering?
Various constructions of power transmission lines integrated with optical fibers are described. The article presents the applications of optical fibers in electrical power engineering beyond typical digital data transmission, such as detecting line faults, monitoring the overheating of components, and powering devices.
