Abstract
The existing power grid has undergone drastic changes within a decade, in order to deal with the increase in energy demand. With the integration of different distributed energy resources (DERs) for a group of interconnected loads within a defined electrical boundary, microgrid came into existence. However, with the increased use of effective communication, automation and monitoring skills the microgrids are technologically advanced with fast response and are referred to as ‘Smart Grids’. In smart grid, efficient and reliable communication is incorporated to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and stability of the whole system. This paper presents a review on the different types of available communication methods and protocols which are used for data communication within and outside a smart grid based power supply system.
