Abstract: In order to realize smart grid function, a high-speed, two-way, real-time and integrated communication system is required to make smart grid a large-scale, dynamic, real-time information and power exchange infrastructure. It discusses the opportunities and challenges in the development of smart grid, intelligent measurement in communication technology, network security and standardization. The key issues in interoperability implementation, scalable network solutions establishment and existing network technology application to intelligent measurement are also discussed. At last, the state of art of international smart grid communication standardization is introduced, which provides reference value to communication network architecture and solution of China’s smart grid.

Key words: smart grid, smart metering, communication, interoperability, security, standardization
