Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems 220 An investigation into the use of communication technologies for medium- and high-voltage smart power grid

Abstract

The good performance of a smart power grid, better known as a “Smart Grid”, depends on the communication system used, hence the importance of having the appropriate technology. This article presents the communication technologies used in high and medium-voltage environments, and the main objective is to document the general characteristics of each of them, their applications, limitations, and the standards used. For the sake of comprehension, they are classified according to their type, wired and wireless.
