A supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) digital wireless wide area network (DWWAN) which is adapted to power utility grid has been designed with an architecture consisting of 56 nodes (28 links) stretching over a rugged mountainous zone. Simulation is conducted for design parameters such as tower heights, total antennas per tower, path l...

... digital hierarchy (SDH) standards transmitting multimedia packets and is compatible with the optical ground wire (OPGW) network [12] that can be attached to the high tension grid. This architecture provides dual or tandem highly reliable routes for the utilities. The architecture of integrating the DWWAN with the power grid is shown in Fig. 1, in which the central microwave station is attached to a cluster of processors forming the Load Dispatch Center (LDC). While microwave outstations are connected to the SCADA remote terminal units (RTUs) which are connected to either the power plants, or substations. The DWWAN in the physical layer employs the MQAM modulation scheme ...
