Smart Grid is an intelligent power generation, distribution and control system which seeks to maximize energy efficiency and foster greater adoption of renewable energy sources. IIT Perfect Power Project, a five-year project sponsored by DoE, aims to develop, demonstrate, promote, and commercialize a Perfect Power system that cannot fail to meet the electric needs of the individual end-user.

Motivation

ZigBee is the most suitable wireless technology to monitor, collect, and analyze data on energy usage in real time for smart grid application.

 Low cost  Low power Consumption  Flexible and extendable  Easy and inexpensive to deploy  Global with use of unlicensed radio bands

Problem: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks

(WLAN) shares the same license-free 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band with ZigBee.

  • Main interference power

concentrate in the WiFi central frequency which create heavy interference.

  • Distance is other important

factor which can impact BER.

  • Offset frequency is 2MHz, the

PER is highest and the distance between the Zigbee and WIFi access point must be at least 7 meters.

  • Offset frequency is 8MHz , the

interference from WiFi is negligible.
