Abstract

With the development of power distribution system, it is necessary to provide a new communication infrastructure to support broad band and wireless access network in smart grids. In this paper, we propose an experimental access layer platform for power distribution network based on LTE technology. Some typical services such as concentrated meter reading, remote video surveillance, and system operation status monitoring are tested in the experimental system, which is deployed in Mengzi city, Yunnan province. The experimental results show that the proposed experimental system is robust and can satisfy the basic QoS requirements of the typical services in power distribution system.
