Metering and data processing in a micro-scale area for smart grid applications

Abstract

In this work, it's aimed at constructing a micro scale smart metering system in order to obtain total electricity power consumption within a small area. The area consists of individual units such as room in a hall, a flat in a building, a building in a street, etc. The power and the communication networks are designed and power system simulation is performed. The data obtained from simulation is processed and power consumption profiles of the units are generated for different time intervals considering the electricity grid tariffs.
