Wireless Automated Meter for Power Distribution Networks
Abstract
In many countries, electric power is provided by a number of private power plants distributed over wide areas.This Wireless Automated Meter for Power Distribution Networks hardware and softwareDesigning and implementing commercial as well as industrial systems based on Wireless communication has always been a prominent field of interest among many researchers and developers.This paper presents an implementation methodology for a wireless automatic meter reading system (WAMRS) incorporating the widely used GSM network.
With the development of country’s economy and the improvement of national power, the power requirement is still ever increasing due to use of improper power management systems and the conventional energy metering system.The wide proliferation of wireless communication propose and explore new possibilities for the next generation Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) whose goal is to help collect the meter measurement automatically and possibly send commands to the meters.
Automation ranges from Connecting to a meter through an RS-232 interface for transmitting the meter measurements all the way from the meter to the utility company via GSM network. wireless automatic meter reading system (WAMRS) presented in this paper absorbed many advanced study results in computer technology and communication technology.
The meter-reading task can be finished at the management department of residence area by using this system. Meantime, the energy resources management departments can monitor the consumption of power in order to improve the utility of power.It’s the basic to realize automatic deliver of energy resources. The system has many significant excellences, such as wireless, low-workload, great quantity of data transmission high-veracity and low-expenses.The using of embedded system improves the stability of wireless data transmission. For a long distance transmission GSM telecommunication has shown excellent performance at any conditions.
