It offers two-way communication between the base stations and power generation sites [2-5], and optimizes the overall system performance by taking the advantage of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) [6-13], using smart sensor devices, and implementing renewable energy solutions. Since SG consists of many different applications with different communication and quality of service (QoS) requirements, it involves heterogeneous communication technologies based on a multitier communication infrastructure. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCognitive RadioElectric Power System EconomicsElectric Power Transmission NetworksQuality of ServiceWireless Sensor NetworksCognitive Radio NetworkCommunication InfrastructureEnvironmental FriendlinessHeterogeneous CommunicationQualityof-Service Requirement (QoS)Smart Grid CommunicationsTwo Way CommunicationsWireless Sensor Network (Wsns)Smart Power GridsBook Part10.1201/b196642-s2.0-85052600807
