The paper presents simulation results of the IEEE 1815 DNP3 communication protocol encapsulation over TCP/IP operating on IEEE 802.11b wireless network for Smart Grid Applications. To perform the simulations was used the Network Simulator 2 (NS-2). This work has the goal to analyses and verifies the data communication performance of DNP3 in an ad hoc wireless network in relation to delay and packet error rate according the distance and hops number. In the results analyses was used the cumulative density function (CDF) and through the graphics is possible to see that the outstations down to a hop get better results comparing with the others. Despite the simulation results shown a large delay range between the nodes, all outstations get a feasible performance for real time monitoring. This Smart Grid application should not exceed 100 ms of delay. Index Terms - IEEE 1815 DNP3, IEEE 802.11, NS-2, Protocol, Simulator, Smart Grid, Wireless.
