  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 403))

Abstract

The growing population and the rapid increase in gross domestic product have forced a greater increase in the demand of electricity. The most critical infrastructure that consumes more economy for maintenance of a nation is its electrical grid. These challenges can be avoided by the evolution of smart grids. The modern advancement in information and communications technology has evolved the growth of smart grid technology. The infrastructures like communication and monitoring plays a key role in smart grids. This paper aims to provide a study for researchers working in the field of wireless communication, power grid communication, and smart grid about the available state of art. This work will provide a detailed literature survey of available methodologies and also highlights the possible challenges, research issues, opportunities of networks in smart grids. In monitoring applications, there are two main infrastructures, namely communication and sensing infrastructure. This work will concentrate on these architectures that can be applied to smart grids.
