Data for: Spectrum Management Using NI USRP and LabVIEW Framework for Smart Grid Application

In this project we, systematically trying to implement the idea of applying the next generation

wireless technology, cognitive radio network, for the smart grid. System

architecture, algorithms using Lab view NI.

A grid test bed supporting both power flow and information flow is also implemented. The

current centrally controlled power grid is undergoing a drastic change in order to deal with

increasingly diversified challenges, including environment and infrastructure. The next generation

power grid, known as the smart grid, will be realized with proactive usage of state-of the-

art technologies in the areas of sensing, communications, control, computing, and

information technology. In a smart power grid, an efficient and reliable communication

architecture plays a crucial role in improving efficiency, sustainability, and stability. We first

need to identify the fundamental challenges in the data communications for the smart grid and

introduce the ongoing standardization effort in the industry. Smart grid can be visualized as an

intelligent control system over sensors and communication platform.
