Abstract

Aiming at the requirement for monitoring and controlling information in Smart Grid, the applications of ZigBee technology for Smart Grid were analyzed. After ZigBee technology and its features for Smart Grid were introduced, the prospects of ZigBee applications for Smart Grid were discussed in the cases of ZigBee applications in Smart Grid HAN, fault locating and UHV transmission lines monitoring. Some attentions should be paid to ZigBee applications for Smart Grid were proposed. Finally, ZigBee technology would be integrated with Smart Grid gradually and become an indispensable basic wireless communication technology in constructing Smart Grid were pointed out.
