Connecting Pakistan through the Sun
Converting base stations to solar-powered ones have the added advantage of limiting the number of dangerous field visits for maintenance teams. “More than half of Pakistan''s total land area
View DetailsInitially, a postmortem review of Pakistan's power sector was performed for finding the power demand of the power distribution sector. The key issues and challenges are identified for the deployment of smart grid in Pakistan's electric network and suggested possible approaches in this regard.
Smart networks like IEEE 802.11 based wireless LAN, IEEE 802.15 based ZigBee, IEEE 802.16 based WiMAX, DASH 7, Power Line Communication (PLC), and 3G/4G GSM are required for the reliable and uninterruptible power transmission in smart transmission grid [ 72 ]. In Pakistan, outdated controlling methods are equipped in the system.
The proposed smart grid model is helpful for the Government of Pakistan in making policies related to the sustainable environment and low-cost energy solutions. Fig. 8 presents the synopsis of proposed smart grid model.
After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, regional governments were responsible for energy management and production until the inception of the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) in 1958 [ 24 ]. In later years, the indigenous energy resources are identified and were dedicated for only power generation.
