| Summary: | The dramatic drop in equipment pricing, better
services and efficiency of small satellite candidate is an
interesting communication technology alternative for the
deployment of Smart Grid (SG). The use of commercial-off-theshelf (COTS) components and the ongoing miniaturiza-tion of
several technologies have already led to scattered instance of
mission with promising scientific value. In this paper, the
potential of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Mission Control Unit (MCU)
for small class satellite payloads is presented with the goal of
providing utilities in-dustry to low cost and efficiency system
towards enhancement of the services provided. Many commercial
companies have emerged to cater this objective, however most of
them provide an expensive LEO satellites solution. Therefore,
this paper proposes a low cost and compact platform to substitute
the conventional one. The proposed solution in this paper is
targeting Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system spe-cifically at
rural area meter. In particular, this research is intended mainly
for the researchers to start an exploration of new technology to
be implemented in near future. Advanced development and
assessment of CubeSats for SG will make it possible to be used as
an alternative communication link. |
