Abstract
Nowadays many researchers and international
organizations are looking on the availability of getting single
communication systems for automation of management of power
systems. This paper presents four communication system(s); Power
Line Communication (PLC), Optical Fiber, Satellite Communication
and Wireless Communication. PLC and Optical Fiber were selected
to be the most effective communication system(s) in automation of
management of power systems from generation level to end users
level in Tanzania. The criteria used to select PLCs and Optical fiber
communication systems are; capacity, coverage, security, reliability,
accuracy, and availability. The use of effective communications
systems on power networks will help the power utility company
Tanzania Electrical Supply Company (TANESCO) to perform
actions like reading the electricity meter, monitoring the power
consumers, finding faults along the systems, detecting illegal
electricity usages etc to ensure better provision of services to its
consumers.
