A Realities Model Simulation Platform of Wireless Home Area Network in Smart Grid

Smart Grid is gradually prevalent to human's daily life. More customers hope their home grids smarter to realize energy saving, intelligent controlling and real-time monitoring. The advent of Home Area Network (HAN) supported by multiple IEEE network technologies makes the thinking true together with difficulties and challenges on the field designs and assignments. Simulation is important for analysis of a complex and harsh network environment in order to provide the performances of it. In this paper, we research on several realities models to develop an enhanced simulation platform to analysis the network performances of a real smart home grid which can advise a field engineer how to build a grid network or make it more reliable and effective.
