Introduction Recent researches on Smart Grid have been focused on addressing readability, adaptability, and fault prediction issues [1]. Further challenges on Smart Grid research should include demand handling, service quality, grid flexibility, power sustainability, end to end full control, market enabling, cost reduction, performance optimization, self-healing, and grid restoration [2]. The increase of distributed generation (DG) penetration brings an increased number of parameters including networks constrain, thermal overload, voltage limits, and hardwire connection complexities. Communication application is the key component to provide reliable Smart Grid operation by facilitating a real-time connection for measuring, monitoring, and controlling the grid assets [3][4][5]. Two way communications with high speed data rate in Smart Grid communication will give a dynamic infrastructure for power exchange [6][7][8]. Developing a smart communication system and subsystem requires monitoring and metering capability which covers the entire domain from the generation up to distribution [9]. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) can be assumed as the upgraded version of the conventional automated meter reading and automated meter management. AMI involves smart meter, communication network, and data management system [10]. Phasor measurement unit (PMU) can also be considered as the upgrade of the conventional system. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) played a significant role in the power system until the communication technology has evolved and the grid is demanding a fast unlimited data access at so many network node [11]. PMU deployment will lead to the * Corresponding Author.

D. Atmaja et al. / Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical Power, and Vehicular Technology 10 (2019) 73-84 74 implementation of some technologies which cannot be handled properly by the conventional power delivery system, such as high-voltage direct currents (HVDCs) and intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) [11]. PMU is also able to estimate the synchrophasor, frequency, and the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF or d f/dt) of the acquired voltage and/or current waveforms [12]. The common standards used by synchrophasor technology were IEEE 1344, IRIG-B, IEEE C37.118, and IEC61850 [13][14]. PMU has been dedicated as the most effective measurement device for monitoring, control, and protection of the evolved power system in correspondence to its capability on addressing technological update and covering the geographical extension of the modern power system [15]. Communication network should be the next focus after the measurement system. Smart Grid network should be classified in the typical payload, data sampling, latency, and reliability [16]. This study has divided the communication network basically by its data rate and coverage area [3][17]. Routing development of each network classification had been explained to describe the interaction of each component in a proper way with respect to the various Smart Grid applications. The connection protocols have been categorized on the existing approach for local area network, neighbor area network, and wide area network. Furthermore, open architecture with plug and play features should provide a better environment for smart sensor and control devices. This article aimed to disclose Smart Grid communication components to facilitate the understanding of the further function of each component. The result of the study provides a detail explanation of the technologies’ features, advantages, connectivity, and primary role in supporting Smart Grid implementation, especially on Smart Grid communication. II. Materials and Methods The article focused on the Smart Grid communication components by presenting their improvement, advantages, commonly used design, and possible feature. The Smart Grid communication application is divided into its measurement equipment and network architecture. The measurement equipment consists of Advance Metering Infrastructure, Phasor Measurement Unit, and Intelligent Electronic Devices. Meanwhile, the network architecture is divided based on their hierarchy; namely local area network, neighbor area network, and wide area network. Further information was provided regarding the routing protocol for each network. The final section was presenting the energy and data flow of Smart Grid implementation based on the communication application. III. Smart Grid Communication Equipment A. Advanced metering infrastructure The advanced metering infrastructure consists of several components which provide two way intelligent links from the consumers to the system management [18][19][20]. The infrastructures commonly consist of three segments; namely the consumer data collection devices, the system management, and a communication network as the connector. Figure 1 shows the schematic representation of AMI [2][21]. The implementation of AMI is the first step to upgrade the conventional grid into the modern Smart Grid. It requires telecommunication system, wiring component, various standard, and numerous best practices. All the digitalized asset on the consumers will provide information for the system management to make an intelligent decision on the grid real-time condition. Digitalize asset all over the grid will enhance the service that lead to significant benefit for the customer and the management. Various supporting technology such as smart metering, HAN, utility application, etc. will enhance the two-way interactions among utilities, consumer, and the network. Basically, AMI acts as the main backbone for the information flow between the consumer and the utility grid. The infrastructure will monitor and control the power generation system, the storage Data Collection and Analysis AMI host Management System End User data collection Communication network Data Management Electric meter Gas meter Water meter Data Transmisison Network Data Storage WAN NAN/FAN HAN/BAN/IAN Figure 1. AMI implementation schematic T. D. Atmaja et al. / Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical Power, and Vehicular Technology 10 (2019) 73-84 75 units, data reception equipment, and perform a possible big data analysis. At the end user, smart metering devices can be combined with the power quality monitoring system to fasten the smart demand response for any power quality troubleshoots. Within the correct range, remote connection and disconnection is considered as a possible implementation to minimize on-field personnel and reduce the operational cost. This infrastructure was also implemented not only for data storage but also as a back up strategy for possible attack or anomaly. It can be equipped with forecasting neural network to detect possible failure followed with self-healing capability performed from data management center. AMI collected data provides granularity and timeliness information to improve asset management and operations. Figure 2 shows AMI feature presented on each side of the domain [21]. 1) AMI subsystem AMI assist the consumer portal layer to connect entirely with metering layer and also with the communication layer. All smart metering devices in the HAN and LAN will be connected and controlled in a very intelligent step toward modern power grid. AMI technology and interference is shown in Figure 3 [21]. The infrastructure covers the communication network, smart metering devices, HAN-LAN, gateways, local data concentrators, data center, and meter data management system. The final function of AMI is to add the collected data into big data platforms. 2) AMI communication technologies Several communication technologies is available in the today’s market such as long term evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced, power line carrier (PLC), general packet radio service (GPRS), 802.22 wireless networking protocol, and Zigbee. Table 1 shows a comparison of some available communication technologies in correspondence with AMI requirement [2]. Although the comparison shows many advantages of LTE application, the utility companies still consider the cost and the spectrum as the main reason of not using the LTE. More modifications are encouraged to be implemented in the communication technology such as open standard on utility communication which can be lead to a better connection between communication systems. B. Phasor measurement units PMU is employing a general time source to measure the electrical wave on the utility grid [22][23][24]. PMU basic component consists of the Figure 2.

Atmaja et al. / Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical Power, and Vehicular Technology 10 (2019) 73-84 76 current phasor, bus voltage phasor, location information, converter, and phasor microprocessor as shown in Figure 4 [11][21]. The current and the voltage signal are converted into digitalized AC waveforms. In the other segment, GPS receiver sends the coordinate to the phasor locked oscillator and create a high-speed synchronized sampling with 1 ms precision. The current-voltage and the phasor locked the oscillator output to combine with the 16-bits A/D converter. PMU is able to quantify 50 Hz AC waveforms (currents and voltages) at a common rate of 48 samples per cycle [25]. Time synchronization permits synchronized immediate measurements over many types of remote measurement points scattered within the grid. The result of the measurement is known as synchrophasor. With synchrophasor as the metered value, PMUs plays one of the most important role on measuring energy and data for the future power delivery systems. The most advantageous aspect of the PMU is the GPS reference inclusion inside the unit. The time source is calibrated and synchronized into resultant time-stamped phasor that can be transmitted from various important cross points through the entire utility grid. With up to 120 samples per second, the user can visualize the whole grid in the precise angular among various locations. PMU mostly used to monitor and control the voltage around the wide area grid. PMU also prevent any possible blackout, mitigate potential congestion problem, and provide dynamic visibility into the source-consumer power system. With the increase of DG integration, PMU installation provides a real-time measurement system that covers the whole delivery system including generation, transmission, and distribution. Additional utility monitoring systems consist of dynamic line rating technology, electronic instrument transformers, batteries, temperature sensors, conductor sensors, insulation contamination leakage, backscatter radios technology, and monitoring system for CB and current frequency. C. Intelligent electronic devices Monitoring process on the power system line basically performed by SCADA system based on collected data from substations. As the grid evolved, the SCADA system limitation to support AMI and PMU has been covered by the inclusion of IED. IED is a microprocessor with the ability to exchange data and process a control signal between devices in the grid. It is considered as the prime supporter of any remote power management, including PMU unit, on how they provide continuous real time synchronization [26][27][28]. IED configuration shown in Figure 5 was aimed to improve monitoring, controlling, data acquisition, and data recording [21][29][30]. IED is mostly connected with Global Positioning System (GPS) as further support to the PMU. IEDs measures control signal, phase current/voltage, internal relay, and oscilloscopic data with three common different types: circuit breaker monitor (CBM), digital fault recorder (DFR) and digital protective relay (DPR). CBM is responsible for the monitoring of the circuit condition and acts as a determinant for opening and closing process. DFR is the device to capture and store a short duration events such as power spike, harmonic disorder, frequency anomaly, RMS, and power factor disturbance. DPR was specifically designed for transmission line monitoring on possible fault or trip. DPR will respond to the surge on current, voltage, impedance, or frequency and inform it away to the substation. Table 2 shows the available synchrophasor IED to support PMU on Smart Grid communication system [11]. D. Wide area measurement systems Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) is the final component to integrate AMI and PMU [31][32][33]. Most likely in similar concept with the present SCADA system, measurements of the grid Table 1. Comparison of the available communication technologies for AMI Parameter LTE-A 3G (HSPA+) PLC 802.22 Latency (ms) <5 <50 <10 <20 Date rate (Mbps) download/upload 1000/500 28/11 3/3 18/18 Range (km) 100 10 5 100 Main disadvantage - Limited number of supported connection Alternate technology (bypass) needed at transformer No QoS due to faulty spectrum sensing Figure 4.

Atmaja et al. / Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical Power, and Vehicular Technology 10 (2019) 73-84 77 system are conceded at a higher rate (up to 5-60 samples per second). Therefore, the system requires a wide area measurement which can perform continuous and simultaneous real-time information rendering [34][35]. More or less, WAMS was aiming to improve the grid performance by stability assessment, fault detection, remedial control actions and supporting more accurate state estimation [36][37]. Figure 6 shows the common WAMS architecture which deploys PMUs, PDCs, super PDCs (regional PDCs), and communication protocol [11]. PMU send Table 2.

PDC normally located in the primary substation where the collected data was analyzed [38]. PDCs are required to make a decision with a very low latency of 10– 100 ms. IED has shown to take an important part in this WAMS by integrating devices such as reclosers, switches, and capacitor banks so that PDCs or super PDCs will be able to protect and control the grid at the distribution or transmission level immediately [39]. Future concept can use IEC61850-90-5 to replace IEEE C37.118.2 protocol [40]. IV. Smart Grid Communication Networks The designated communication network in Smart Grid concept is classified based on the coverage area and the rate speed (Figure 7) [17]. There are three common classes; namely local network, neighbour network, and wide network. The local network can be found in the form of home area network (HAN), building area network (BAN), or industrial area network (IAN). These networks usually cover single customer with several local applications, such as home automation and building automation, to perform electrical data collection and measurement within the small radius area between 1 to 100 m. This application can be implemented without high frequency transmission system, performed at low cost and low power consumption, and also can be used conveniently. Data rate requirement in this area was up to 100 kbps which sufficiently supported by Wifi, Zwave, ZigBee, PLC, Bluetooth, or Ethernet [41]. Neighbour network is usually called neighbour area network (NAN) or field area network (FAN). At this scale, the applications have a more complex requirement such as smart metering, demand response, and distribution automation. Data transmissions are required to cover a larger number of the customer which led to the deployment of data concentrator and small substation. The coverage of this network can be up to 10 km with a higher data rate between 100 kbps to 10 Mbps. NAN/FAN applications can be implemented over ZigBee mesh networks, WiFi mesh networks, PLC, as well as long distance wired and wireless technologies, such as WiMAX, Cellular, digital subscriber line (DSL) and Coaxial Cable [42]. Wide network commonly called wide area network (WAN) which apply the wide-area controlling, monitoring and protection. WAN requires a large number of higher frequency data points to allow stability control of a power system which can cover up to 100 km. Required data rate should be 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps which needs a utility control center due to its high capacity and low latency. Cellular, WiMAX, and satellite communication were highly recommended to provide redundant communications at critical transmission/distribution substation sites especially when the coverage of the network is a wide remote area. A comparison of various communication technologies that can support Smart Grid applications in terms of data rate and coverage distance is presented in Table 3 [17]. A. Local area network Local area network usually limited to an individual or single user called home area network (HAN), building area network (BAN), or industrial area network (IAN) [43]. There always permission is given for the system to remotely control the digitalized appliance within the house or building. It also facilitates the communication between assets such as mobile phone, desktop computer, HVAC, electric vehicle, etc. via wireless or by wire connection [44]. HAN/BAN/IAN is the front line communication system that collects real-time data continuously and the primary media to facilitate the remote control provided by the data management system. It detects the peak time of the load demand, connect one smart appliance to another smart metering. This network also manages to conduct continuous monitoring system that enables to do early detection of possible failure or blackout. It also controls the automation of high consuming energy system so that the user could conduct self-energy usage optimization which leads to reduce electricity cost. This network also includes web-based monitoring system, AMI, and PMU. B. Neighbour area network Neighbour network commonly found in the form of Neighbour Area Network (NAN) or Field Area Network (FAN). NAN/FAN is a wireless or wired network consist of groups of individuals, system devices, buildings, or open area with digitalized assets; which cover a larger area than HAN/NAN/IAN [45]. Most of the architecture usually focused on optimization of interoperability and integration between different domains within the Smart Grid. NAN/FAN is able to find power generation domain within its coverage, it is commonly equipped with market service and plant control center with potential transmission-distribution line domain. Figure 7. Smart Grid communication hierarchy with data rate and coverage range requirement WAN NAN/FAN HAN/ BAN/ IAN 1 -100 kbps 100 kbps -10 Mbps 10 Mbps – 1 Gbps 1 – 100 m 100 m – 10 km 10 – 100 km HAN/ BAN/ IAN HAN/ BAN/ IAN NAN/FAN HAN/ BAN/ IAN HAN/ BAN/ IAN HAN/ BAN/ IAN T. D. Atmaja et al. / Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical Power, and Vehicular Technology 10 (2019) 73-84 79 NAN/FAN is also considered as a substation connecting the local network with the wide network. It means that this network has quite large data storage to facilitate a large data collection system form the HAN/BAN/IAN. The neighbour network will connect many energy management systems, digitalized appliances, metering devices, more electric storages, and even consumer PHEVs. The connection to the consumer will primarily through the internet with the possible use of the large intranet. Depend on the area coverage, this network can be subdivided into transmission-distribution system using ISO/RTO technology. Therefore, this network is able to handle the utility of third party including billing system and larger early warning system. C. Wide area networks (WAN) WAN is the largest geographical coverage network compared to local or neighbour network, it usually interconnects multiple BAN/HAN/IAN or NAN/FAN [46]. WAN is commonly in the shape of point-to-point technology (PP), circuit-switched technology (CS), or packet-switched technology (PS). PP is a costly technology and usually in the form of the leased or dedicated line which is attached to the utility backbone and provided a secure line between the local domain. It usually on the state of normally- ON to ensure continuous line between network nodes on specified distance. CS technology needs a call- setup to make an action on the grid. Once the call has made, the data transfer will trigger the session and followed by engaging or disengaging a single or multiple domains. On-demand switched is usually a low speed response compared with the other technologies. The last technology is packet-switched which is the cheapest of all technologies due to it share a common infrastructure. Despite having the best performance in communication quality, however, it will cause inconsistent bandwidth. V. Smart Grid Communication Routing Protocol The goal of routing protocol is the reliability, security and QoS of the network performance [3][47][48]. The protocol has been classified into three classes i.e. routing for local network (HAN/BAN/IAN), routing for neighbour network (NAN/FAN), and routing for wide network (WAN). The breakdown of the routing protocol for each class can be found in Figure 8 [3]. A. Routing protocols for local network Summary of routing protocols for the local network (HAN/BAN/IAN) can be found in Table 4 based on the adaptation layer and network layer [3]. The use of a specific protocol will affect the operational cost, performance of the network and the local network architecture. B. Routing protocols for neighbour network Smart Grid communications consist of several NAN/FAN with mostly hundreds of AMI. NAN routing protocol will ensure the collected data from the Table 3.

D. Atmaja et al. / Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical Power, and Vehicular Technology 10 (2019) 73-84 80 access point tier can report safely to the backhaul distribution tier. Routing challenge will vary based on the underlying communication. Therefore, there are three common protocols: Reliable Routing [49][50], Secure Routing [51][52][53], and QoS Routing protocols [54]. The comparison of each routing protocols can be seen in Table 5 [3]. C. Routing Protocols for Wide Network Wide Network is different from local and neighbour network since it most likely consists of a core network or a backhaul network. Generally, WAN routing protocol is handled by the public network such as the internet and private lines. Fiber optic is the best offer to the required data rate and should be Figure 8.

Another option is to apply Wi- MAC, 4G, or GPRS even though they depend on the quality of the physical layer, channels, radio, handoff, etc. The newest study showed that the deployment of multi-hop wireless WAN can be a proprietary network within a single instalment which have a complete substation, gateway, and data metering devices. VI. Smart Grid Data and Energy Flow Architecture The energy flow has been completely covered by the conventional utility grid. Nevertheless, the challenge on the Smart Grid implementation is covering the data flow within the entire grid. The first challenge is the digitalization of all the grid asset in order to be able to reach out the communication protocols. Combination of energy flow and data flow will then increase the controllability, flexibility, and more adaptive response. The data and energy flow should be covering all the domain including power generation, transmission-distribution, and customers’ peripheral. Figure 9 shows the architecture of data and energy flow in Smart Grid with a wide multi-port system network node [21][55]. The architecture presented in Figure 9 covers the measurement equipment AMI and PMU, and consisting of three layers communication network. Local network mostly exists in the customer side which facilitates the control and monitoring of all digitalized appliances. Local network also connects the AMI to the energy management system (EMS), energy storage system (ESS), and possible use of plug- in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The connection with PHEV would introduce the concept of vehicle to grid (V2G) where the charge and discharge action will depend completely on the time and location. Neighbour network would be consisting of at least two local networks, therefore, consisting of several AMI and possible local DG. AMIs in the customer side had connected to the substation’s PMU in the distribution line, while each substation’s PMU will connect each other in the transmission line. Moreover, the transmission line is the backbone network which unites the power generation side to the customer side. Power generation could be a large scale power plant in a remote location or could be small size DG within local neigbourhood. Each power plant would have its own substation, or multiple power plants covered by one substation. Substations’ PMU at the power generation side will be connected to the backbone and coordinate with the PMUs at the consumer side. These measurement devices and multi layers network contains different component with various characteristics and action. For example, DGs and load can connect or disconnect at any time without proper pattern. Therefore Smart Grid data management center must play the role of multi-agent to ensure that every node can be controlled in a specific manner. Every information provided by the AMIs and PMUs will be processed at the center and provide a control output to each of grid’s digitalize asset. Farsighted the large number of AMIs and PMUs, it is Figure 9.

Cloud computing has served as an excellent method to handle a large volume of data in the coverage of all AMI and PMU [56][57]. Cloud computing can provide flexibility and scalable characteristic to cope with the data storage and vast transferable real-time data [58][59][60]. With the expanding area of the Smart Grid, cloud computing can easily adapt to present remote data storage, automatic updates, less utility cost, energy saving, and reduce human labor demand [61][62][63]. Cloud computing architecture for Smart Grid designed by Dileep G. [21] can be found in Figure 10. This architecture can be adapted to create a cloud database which stores public and private information. Each information class can be managed as three basic cloud services i.e. Data as a service (DaaS), software as a service (SaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). The analytic can perform energy analysis within the grid, reporting and monitoring the grid’s asset, and the most important is the visualization of the grid. VII. Conclusion This article presents an overview of the one key component of Smart Grid, the communication application including the related technologies. The study was done by conducting a review of its components, technologies, features, challenge, and advantages. It is known that efficiency, reliability, and security of interconnected devices are critical to enabling Smart Grid global implementation. The study explained various Smart Grid measurement technologies such as AMI, PMU, IED, and WAMS followed by the description of Smart Grid network classification divided in three classes i.e. HAN/BAN/IAN, NAN/FAN, and WAN. The AMI and PMU were covering the measurement system and data collection while the IED and WAMS was covering the secure and reliable data transfer from the consumer to the data management center. HAN/BAN/IAN is a local network which facilitates Smart Grid from the end user platform at low 100 kbps data rate for the least 1 to 100 m, while NAN/FAN is doing the similar task at the larger coverage area which is up to 10 km for 10 Mbps data rate. For the last, WAN is the one covering the whole local and neighbour network by approximately 100 km at 1 Gbps data rate. Related technologies are including routing protocol for each network that considers the underlying communications medium, reliability, security, and QoS. The primary function is to facilitate the measurement and monitoring process and then collect the data for the grid analysis at the data management center. This communication network will increase the flexibility to the attachment of DGs which will increase the usage of renewable energy. Smart Grid can be considered as a future technology to help environmental conservation and energy sustainability. It is expected that this article can offer a further understanding of communication network requirements for a complete Smart Grid implementation.
