Adaptation study of novel services and communication technologies for distributed smart grid communication networks

In order to meet the individual communication performance requirements of distributed smart grid operation and operational services, it is crucial to select appropriate communication technologies to build a secure, reliable and economical network. This paper first analyses in detail the performance requirements of new communication business scenarios of distributed smart grid, and reviews the advantages and limitations of current mainstream communication technologies. Then, a comprehensive weighting solution model of network attributes is constructed using subjective and objective evaluation methods. Finally, OPNET simulation software is used to simulate the communication performance of mainstream communication technologies around data throughput capacity, delay, delay jitter, packet loss rate, and the performance of different communication technologies is compared and summarised to provide suggestions on the optimal communication technologies for the new communication services of distributed smart grid.
