A Cognitive Radio Based Monitoring System for Smart Grid
At present,the architecture of electric power grid is undergoing a fast change by focusing on high reliability and flexibility to meet the needs on two-way communications between power utilities and customers.Nowadays,because of the limited wired and wireless spectrum resources,the traditional communication infrastructure for the monitoring system can hardly fit the high demand of connections among distributed elements in the smart grid.This paper firstly provides the architecture of the monitoring system for smart grid by applying cognitive radio techniques.Then the paper describes the novel smart monitoring system the feasible applications.
