For 100 years, there has been no change in the basic structure of the electrical power grid. Experiences have shown that the hierarchical, centrally controlled grid of the 20th Century is ill-suited to the needs of the 21st Century. To address the challenges of the existing power grid, the new concept of smart grid has emerged. The smart grid can be considered as a modern
Open Standards for Smart Grid 1. Open System Interconnection (OSI) Model was introduced in 1984 2. The OSI model divides the data communications process into seven independent layers and each of the layers describes how the data is handled in the different stages of transmission 3. Following protocols are commonly used for SCADA applications:
Currently, the Smart Grid faces challenges in terms of reliability and security in both wired and wireless communication environments. The most important challenge is a lack of communication network infrastructure, which is a key factor in supporting the grid monitoring system. In the absence of an

Smart Grid Communication Technologies Communication technologies utilized in SG can as mentioned be wired or wireless. Most power systems use a combination of different wired and wireless technologies, depending on the infrastructure.
The IEEE 37.118.2-2011 standard defines the transfer of the synchrophasor data between the end devices. The IEEE 1815-2012 standard was developed to standardize the electric power systems communications. In the following subsections, these smart grid communication standards are comprehensively explained.
Reliability: The smart grid applications are mission critical and hence the underlying communication systems should be highly reliable. Based on the application criticality, the communication system should prioritize the data transmissions and deliver a reliable performance.
Cellular communication system is another viable option for quick deployment of the communication infrastructure. These networks already exist and hence they are cost-effective solution for integration of smart grid applications .
In the second part, we discuss the various smart grid communication systems which are broadly classified into two categories: wired and wireless communication systems. In the last part of the chapter, we discuss the next-generation communication technologies that may play a pivotal role in the smart grid.
From the previous section we can see that SGs are highly dependent on information flow and communication between different entities in different networks. Communication is one of enabling technologies of SG. As the number of sensors increase, the amount of data coming to and from the utility increases. 3.1. QoS Requirements for Smart Grids
