Abstract :
This paper reviews the recent development in the distribution utility communication networks including the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The standardizations of application level communication protocols in both AMI and SCADA systems are the major focus of this paper. In addition, some smart grid applications facilitated by the advances in the distribution communication networks are also discussed.
