Abstract

In this paper, a smart meter applying the international communication protocols has been developed. A smart meter requires communication protocols for two-way communication and control technology, registration and deregistration of electronic devices between electric power suppliers to exchange data. Standardization for communication protocols of a smart meter has been proceeding both in the US and Europe. The smart meter developed in this paper applied ANSI C12.22 as a communication protocol which is a north american standard. A smart meter should also provide the electric consuming information and electricity charge information to the customer in real time. Thus, the customer can behave the demand response based on this information. In this paper, the measured electricity from the smart meter is reported to the customer, and IHD(In Home Display) implemented with the windows software presents the reported real time data.

본 논문에서는 국제 통신 프로토콜이 적용된 스마트미터를 개발하였다. 스마트미터는 전력 공급 사업자와의 데이터 교환을 위해 양방향 통신 및 제어 기술, 전기 기기의 등록 및 해제를 위한 통신 프로토콜이 요구된다. 스마트미터의 통신 프로토콜은 미국과 유럽을 중심으로 표준화가 진행되고 있으며, 본 논문에서 제안하는 스마트미터의 통신 프로토콜은 북미방식인 ANSI C12.22 표준을 채택하여 적용하였다. 스마트미터는 또한 전력 사용자에게도 실시간으로 소비 전력 정보와 요금 정보를 제공해야 하며, 사용자는 이 정보를 바탕으로 적절하게 수요반응을 할 수 있어야한다. 본 논문에서는 스마트미터에서 측정되는 전력량이 실시간으로 사용자에게도 보고될 수 있도록 하였으며, IHD(In Home Display)를 윈도우즈 소프트웨어로 구현하여 개발된 스마트미터와의 연동을 실현하였다.
