Abstract

Summary form only given. Wireless data communications, such as WiFi, cellular systems, and meshed wireless networks, are being assessed by many industries, since they can offer significant "bottom line" benefits over wired communications. These benefits include low cost installations, rapid deployment, easy user access, mobility, and feasibility of functions not possible or not economically feasible with wired communications. Given these benefits, additional condition monitoring, safety monitoring, security management, and other new functions can be added to the arsenal for enhancing power system reliability.
