Research on Structure of Communication Network in Smart Grid

As the next generation of power systems, smart grid is a high degree integration of electric power, communication and automatic control. A safe, effective and intelligence communication platform is the precondition of building Smart grid. This paper introduces an overview of power communication in nowadays, analyzes and probes the structure and safe strategy of communication network in Smart grid. Several key technologies of communication safety in Smart grid are summarized and generalized. This paper has important reference value to the research area of the communication safety of Smart grid.
