Abstract

This technical report has been motivating discussions on the use of Mesh Networks, to meet the demand of Electric System, in special case, Renewable Generation, as part of integration with other information systems and telecommunications, automation of operations and greater mobility to perform the services.

Mesh Network allow the inclusion of the management of Power Plant Grid's Communication System as good solution for different network sizes and applications. Interconnecting between renewable power plant, like wind turbines, reclosers, solar farms, etc. (Renewable Generation) with Collector Substations. The system provides a mean of communication to cover the operational needs, with broadband.

A feature of these Systems and flexibility for implementations, and topology changes. The facilities are simple and quick, and with reduced amount of cabling and lower infrastructure costs.
