Abstract
We present a white space communications test bed running in the
Scottish Highlands and Islands, and discuss its feasibility for smart
grid communications. The network aims to serve communities that have great potential for distributed generation of electricity, by means of
wind, water, and tidal power. However, smart grid applications such
as remote meter reading and load balancing are impaired by the
scarcity or lack of communications infrastructure in remote rural
areas such as the Scottish Highlands and Islands. We argue that the
proposed system is based on a network of energy self-sufficient radio
relay nodes that make it a robust and independent medium to support
smart grid communications in rural settings.
