Hybrid Communication System Evaluation for Application in Smart Grids
The Smart Grids have become a reality in Brazil and in the World. Several devices have been installed and distributed along the electrical network, in critical applications or not, in order to inform the utilities or customers about the current state of the network or also about the state of the installed equipment. Due to this technological transformation of the electrical grids, a wide range of functionalities, techniques, deployment capabilities integrated to a complete and cohesive solution, supported by a scalability, interoperability and adaptability approach has been widely studied. In this sense, the present work proposed an evaluation of a hybrid communication board construction considering the best practice observed in the literature. In this sense starting from the laboratory tests the prototype was installed in the field permitting a real analyze considering the different scenarios.
