IEEE802.11ah is a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) designed for the application of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M), mainly used in sensor network, smart metering, car network, health care, and other emerging fields. IEEE802.11ah inherits the IEEE802.11n\ac technology. At present, smart grid has completed the installation of optical fiber communication as its backbone network; WLAN can be used to build new wireless sensor network for smart grid by improving the transmission distance, speed, and power efficiency. The critical features of 802.11ah make it a powerful candidate for WLAN in smart grid, such as intelligent substation sensor network and automatic metering system (AMS). This paper simulates the new added highly robust 1MHz bandwidth and Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) 10 in the 802.11ah physical layer and analyzes the coverage range and energy-saving performance of 802.11ah based on the simulation results. The analysis shows that the 802.11ah at 1 MHZ MCS 10 mode can obtain 2.5-3 dB gain. Combined with advantages of Sub-1GHz working frequency, 802.11ah could enlarge the coverage range by five times, compared to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. On the other side, 802.11ah module used in the smart grid can greatly reduce power consumption, especially in the AMS with a 1.1 kW.H power savings per year. 802.11ah not only provides the flexibility and low cost features of wireless communication, but also brings coverage and energy-saving performance improvements, which leads to good economic benefit.

Abstract-Information and communication technology infrastructures play an important role to realize the full potential of Smart Grid (SG) applications. Several architectures proposed in the literature usually focus on communication requirement or data storage. However, it is still not clear which architecture best satisfies energy, storage, processing and communication requirements. The lack of understanding of key parameters, such as energy required, communication bandwidth, storage space, processing power, etc., has hindered the large scale SG deployments. In this paper, we investigate different data processing architectures for hierarchical power distribution networks. We introduce several key cost indicators to analyze hierarchical data processing architectures for the SG. In our evaluation, we consider realistic deployments in both dense and sparse environments and provide a detailed performance analysis of the proposed architectures. The results reported here are significant for SG designers, who can use them to discern the architecture that best fits the system requirements.

Information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure plays an important role to realize the full potential of Smart Grid applications. Smart grids utilize ICT entities to enhance efficiency, reliability and sustainability of power generation and distribution network. Majority of the architectures proposed hitherto focus only on a specific architectural aspect, like communication, storage, processing requirement, etc. Recent studies have shown that lack of knowledge on which architecture best satisfies certain information management requirements has hindered large scale smart grid deployments. In this paper, we investigate the cost-benefit analysis of four data processing architectures for various applications in smart grid. We introduce several key cost indicators to analyze hierarchical data processing architectures for the smart grid. In our evaluation, we consider realistic deployments for both dense and sparse environments. Results reported here are significant for smart grid designers, who can use them to discern the architecture that best fits the system requirements.
