“…Thus, a significant amount of concentrators could be removed from the smart metering infrastructure, inducing a significant reduction in energy consumption. Recent studies have shown the suitability of such long range wireless communication in a smart grid context, as presented in [30]. However, shifting from one communication technology to another implies a replacement of the current infrastructure, thus inducing gray energy consumption, in addition to installation costs for the grid operator.…”

Several countries have deployed, or have started the deployment of a smart metering infrastructure in order to enable the Smart Grid. This infrastructure aims to provide new services to grid users and grid operators relying on several communication technologies. One of the goals of this infrastructure is to improve energy consumption, for instance by increasing the awareness of the users, or by enforcing energy management policies. Yet, this infrastructure also consumes energy. The objective of this work is to accurately characterize the energy consumption of each part of the smart metering infrastructure, at a nation-wide scale. We also explore several consumption scenarios highlighting the impact of legacy technologies on the energy consumption of the smart metering infrastructure.

“…Integrated home automation systems that utilise multiple communication technologies such as LoRaWAN, server-based LoRa gateways, and Bluetooth connectivity to control different types of appliances were proposed by [ 26 ]. IoT-based AMI daily reporting and billing in a residential grid using LoRa technology were designed by [ 27 ]. A new two-hop implementation of the LoRa WAN LEACH protocol (LLP) was proposed by [ 28 ] using the LEACH algorithm to optimise the throughput and power dissipation.…”

Energy-efficient routing protocols in Internet of Things (IoT) applications are always of colossal importance as they improve the network’s longevity. The smart grid (SG) application of the IoT uses advanced metring infrastructure (AMI) to read and record power consumption periodically or on demand. The AMI sensor nodes in a smart grid network sense, process, and transmit information, which require energy, which is a limited resource and is an important parameter required to maintain the network for a longer duration. The present work discusses a novel energy-efficient routing criterion in an SG environment realised using LoRa nodes. Firstly, a modified LEACH protocol–cumulative low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (Cum_LEACH) is proposed for cluster head selection among the nodes. It uses the cumulative energy distribution of the nodes to select the cluster head. Furthermore, for test packet transmission, multiple optimal paths are created using the quadratic kernelised African-buffalo-optimisation-based LOADng (qAB_LOADng) algorithm. The best optimal path is selected from these multiple paths using a modified version of the MAX algorithm called the SMAx algorithm. This routing criterion showed an improved energy consumption profile of the nodes and the number of active nodes after running for 5000 iterations compared to standard routing protocols such as LEACH, SEP, and DEEC.

“…As another smart grid application, but from a different viewpoint, a LoRaWAN communication system was evaluated for monitoring residential consumption, billing, and scheduling purposes. In this case, an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) was proposed based on using LoRaWAN protocol and performance aspects, such as packet deliver ratio (PDR), packet collisions, throughput, and transmission power consumption were evaluated by simulations [39].…”

LoRa Enabled Smart Inverters for Microgrid Scenarios with Widespread Elements

The introduction of low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) has changed the image of smart systems, due to their wide coverage and low-power characteristics. This category of communication technologies is the perfect candidate to be integrated into smart inverter control architectures for remote microgrid (MG) applications. LoRaWAN is one of the leading LPWAN technologies, with some appealing features such as ease of implementation and the possibility of creating private networks. This study is devoted to analyze and evaluate the aforementioned integration. Initially, the characteristics of different LPWAN technologies are introduced, followed by an in-depth analysis of LoRa and LoRaWAN. Next, the role of communication in MGs with widespread elements is explained. A point-by-point LoRa architecture is proposed to be implemented in the grid-feeding control structure of smart inverters. This architecture is experimentally evaluated in terms of latency analysis and externally generated power setpoint, following smart inverters in different LoRa settings. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed LoRa architecture, while the settings are optimally configured. Finally, a hybrid communication system is proposed that can be effectively implemented for remote residential MG management.
