The purpose of this study is to pinpoint crucial power line communications components for indoor and outdoor applications as well as the usage of consumer communication during the global commercial development of numerous potential services. Considerations include potential services, bandwidth, service area, quality, dependability, and pricing. The generation side of the power grid has seen major change recently, with a rise in the usage of energy sources (renewable), which are less centralized and have more variable availability than traditional ones. Similar to how electric vehicle uptake would significantly alter consumption habits. Because of these changing circumstances, the power grid’s assets need to be better monitored and controlled, and smart metering is essential to achieving these goals. Power line communications (PLC) has emerged as a practical alternative in many situations, despite the fact that there are other communication technologies available for smart metering applications. Additionally, it offers a private communication network to the distribution system operator (DSO) and seamlessly integrates sensing and communication functions. This paper provides a brief explanation of PLC in the context of smart meters and the necessity of power line communication.

Abu Sayem SCADA is an acronym that stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It is a decentralized control system used extensively in power industry for monitoring and controlling plant equipment, processes as well as resources in industry such as energy, water/wastewater, petrochemical and manufacturing. To assist in the management and control of the country’s critical infrastructures SCADA were developed and implemented–complete with remote communications. SCADA communication plays a vital role in the functioning of this supervisory control system. Reliability of SCADA system is therefore much dependent on the SCADA communication sector. As such a communication technology should be used that the reliability of SCADA system does not need to be compromised. SCADA had been in use in Dhaka Power Distribution Company (DPDC) since 1998. It was then developed by ABB. Ever since its introduction the communication sector of DPDC hardly went any improvement. At present the SCADA Communication sector is facing many problems that are rendering the whole structure obsolete. The communication structure is based on microwave links and this paper intends to propose a new communication technology named Free Space optical Communication to enhance system reliability. Free Space Optics (FSO) or Optical Wireless, refers to the transmission of modulated visible or infrared (IR) beams through the air to obtain optical communications. Like fiber, Free Space Optics (FSO) uses lasers to transmit data, but instead of enclosing the data stream in a glass fiber, it is transmitted through the air. It is a secure, cost-effective alternative to other wireless connectivity options.

This system is based on Neighborhood Area Lan (LAN). Its operating band is 920-925 MHz and is based on the frequency hopping spread spectrum. The deployment scenario's geographic model serves as the foundation for the performance evaluation, which uses geographical routing and the appropriate models for radio transmission. It ensures accurate and error free billing. Further, we conclude that the RF mesh system supports us for smart metering and create transparency to customers and DPDC.

Mobashir Many Smart Grid installations rely on General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) for wireless communication in Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMI). In this paper i describe security functions available in GPRS, explaining authentication and encryption options, and evaluate how suitable it is for use in a Smart Grid environment. I conclude that suitability of GPRS depends on the chosen authentication and encryption functions, and on selecting a reliable and trustworthy mobile network operator.
