With the construction of the Power Internet of Things (PIoT) in full swing as well as the development of wireless communication technology, the deployment of wireless sensor networks is the key to the intelligent transformation of power systems. This paper proposes an asymmetric double-layer wireless sensor network coverage scheme for the intelligent substation. We conducted field measurements in the substation to record the received power at different locations, which were compared with the prediction results of the simulation model established by Winprop to verify the effectiveness of the simulation method. Based on the simulation platform, two different simulation models of substation scenarios are built, including a 220 kV outdoor substation and a 110 kV GIS room. The coverage of received power and line-of-sight (LOS) transmission are analyzed for various nodes of different layers. Several node distribution planning methods are proposed and proven to be feasible according to the simulation results. The wireless coverage scheme can provide useful references for the implementation of PIoT in substations.
