Abstract
Nowadays, the smart grid has demonstrated a great ability to make life easier and more comfortable given recent advances. This paper studies the above issue from the perspective of two important and very useful smart grid applications, i.e., the advanced metering infrastructure and demand response using the instrumentality of a set of well-known scheduling algorithms, e.g., best-channel quality indicator, log rule, round robin, and exponential–proportional fairness to validate the performance. To increase the data transmission bandwidth, a new concept of optical wireless communication known as free-space optical communication (FSO) system based on microring resonator (MRR) with the ability to deliver up to gigabit (line of sight) transmission per second is proposed for the two studied smart grid applications. The range between 374.7 and 374.79 THz frequency band was chosen for the generation of 10 successive-carriers with a free spectral range of 8.87 GHz. The ten multi-carriers were produced through drop port of the MRR. The results show up to 10 times bandwidth improvement over the radius as large as 600 m and maintain receive power higher than the minimum threshold (− 20 dBm) at the controller/users, so the overall system is still able to detect the FSO signal and extract the original data without detection.
