Electricity Grid and Distribution

Overview

Electricity grid, electrical grid or power grid is the network comprised by the generators, transmission lines, transformers, substation and distribution lines that deliver power to the consumer. Concentrators are important part of the metering system in a state grid which collect power consumption information downward from power meters and collectors.

NXP offers the different products need to build and connect a concentrator such as support for various communication protocols including RS-485, 470MHz Sub-G wireless system, Power Line Carrier (PLC-Broadband and narrowband carrier), Ethernet, 2G/3G/4G, and State Grid VPN.
