A novel wireless distribution network application to support further Internet of Energy

A wireless distribution implementation of smart distribution network is presented in this paper, and this is commonly thought as one of the key technologies of Internet of Energy. Several communication technologies applied in the power distribution are analyzed, the wireless distribution network (WDN) is designed with the software defined network concept, and the control plane is used as a common network manager for the distributed network devices. The architecture of SDN platform that integrates wireless communication device is presented under multiagent approach. The public and private wireless networks for distribution network are discussed and compared, and the experimental results of both direct access and WDN with different diversity are illustrated.
