Abstract

Electric power is a widely used resource around the world and has relied heavily on fossil energy sources that are expensive and polluting. Therefore, there is an urgent need to move to a low-carbon economy, avoid unpredictable fuel costs and replace aging infrastructure. However, this requires a radical transformation of the electricity system, and communication technologies can play this important role. In this work, we present an evaluation by means of network simulations of the leading technologies used in Wireless Smart Grid Neighborhood Area Networks. This sub-network provides communication between home users and utility control centers. In this regard, we have configured and adapted the OMNeT++ and ns-3 simulators to implement IEEE 802.15.4g, LoRa (Longe Range), IEEE 802.11s, and 4G/LTE (Long Term Evolution) wireless technologies in the context of Smart Grid communications. To the best of our knowledge, there are no equivalent works in the literature that evaluate and compare these technologies using realistic network simulations. Simulation results show how wireless technology selection can significantly influence packet delivery ratio, network transit time, and compliant throughput metrics.

无线技术的选择如何影响智能电网的性能?模拟方法

电力是世界范围内广泛使用的资源，严重依赖于昂贵且污染严重的化石能源。因此，迫切需要转向低碳经济，避免不可预测的燃料成本，并更换老化的基础设施。然而，这需要电力系统的彻底变革，而通信技术可以发挥这一重要作用。在这项工作中，我们通过网络模拟的方式对无线智能电网邻域网络中使用的领先技术进行了评估。该子网提供家庭用户和公用事业控制中心之间的通信。在这方面，我们已经配置和调整了omnet++和ns-3模拟器，以实现智能电网通信背景下的IEEE 802.15.4g、LoRa(远程)、IEEE 802.11s和4G/LTE(长期演进)无线技术。据我们所知，文献中没有使用现实网络模拟来评估和比较这些技术的等效作品。仿真结果显示了无线技术选择如何显著影响分组传送率、网络传输时间和兼容吞吐量指标。
