Abstract: To address the issues of poor connectivity with local communication systems and a lack of IPv6 technology based local communication applications in the smart grid gateway, an IPv6 based multi-access smart grid gateway is designed. The new gateway design is based on STM32F07 high speed processor and uC/OS-II embedded operating system, utilizing a self-developed IPv6 protocol stack. It enables a variety of IPv6 compatible local communication modes (Power Line Carrier, 433 MHz, 470 MHz, 780 MHz, 2.4 GHz) and many functions such as Ethernet and GPRS remote output, data storage, and dynamic parameter configuration. Test results show that the gateway design is feasible in enabling IPv6 based access to a variety of local communication modes and capable of adapting to various grid communication environments.
