Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for transmitting signals according to the present invention between electrical metering devices and a system control center includes a mobile node. The mobile node communicates with the electrical metering devices operably connected to a distribution transformer and transmits the signals received from the electrical metering devices to the system control center while the mobile node is in the field and removed from the system control center. The mobile node may then be relocated in the field within the electrical power distribution system so as to communicate with the electrical metering devices operably connected to another distribution transformer. Thus, a single mobile node may communicate with the electrical metering devices connected to a number of distribution transformers so as to decrease the number of fixed nodes employed by a communications system of an electrical power distribution system.
