Novel Approach for Remote Energy Meter Reading Using Mobile Agents

Abstract

Power or Energy meter systems can be incorporated with embedded controllers such as Micro web-servers with Ethernet port to transmit the reader data over the Internet. Such data can be then fed and integrated into existing Energy Management Systems located at power companies and organizations. The problem of efficiently collecting data from a large number of distributed embedded web-servers in the energy meters is still a challenging problem. Mobile Agents are executing programs that migrate during execution and present methods for maintaining and using distributed systems. In this paper, we develop a new abstract approach using Mobile Agents to solve the problem of efficiently collecting meters readings.

“…Since wireless communication links can be quickly built, engineering cycle significantly shortened, and has better scalability compared to a wire-line system [9][10][11][12]. If a fault occurs, only check wireless data module for causes quickly, and then restores the system back to normal operation.…”

Design and Implementation of Wireless Electric Power Meter Based on XBee Model

“…There are many types of wireless technologies like embedded RF module, Bluetooth, WIFI, WIMAX, GSM, ZigBee, etc. some of these techniques have high baud rate with wide bandwidth like WIFI, WIMAX, etc., these systems suitable for Internet and multimedia applications [9][10][11][12][13][14]. The problems of these system is the cost and complexity of installation and some of these types provides short range communication and the other is used for mobile phone system like GSM which it is required permission from communication company.…”
