Abstract

The WiMAX uses OFDM technique, so as to have better redundancy among the signals and enable to achieve the orthogonality. This
paper gives an insight in to the use the WiMAX protocol to enable bidirectional communication between various sections of the power
system (generation, transmission and distribution). WiMAX is communicating through WAM (Wide Area Manager) and LAM (Local
Area Manager). The WAM and LAM arrangement ensure coordinated operation for three cases defined for effective monitoring of load.
The collected data in the Wide Area Manager is used to make suitable decision like tripping and re-closure of the relays that connect or
disconnect the load or the generator from the grid. The protocol is simulated and the results prove its suitability in power system
applications.
