“…For system emergency such as generator tripping or transmission network fault, the substation is disconnected with under frequency relay to reduce system loading so that the system stability can be restored after disturbance. On the other hand, the DR function is activated by smart grid for peak load reduction to disconnect the customer nonessential loading automatically with tariff compensation provided by utility company for energy curtailment [2,3]. To support the DR function more effective for smart grid, this paper presents the intelligent meter with embedded relay and hybrid communication module, which can receive the signal of demand response or real time pricing (RTP) to trigger the control of customer loads.…”

To support the demand response function for smart grid, an intelligent power meter with hybrid communication module has been proposed in this paper. The circuit module consisting of VI measurement, power calculation chip, microprocessor and PLC/ZigBee/RS-485 communication is designed to support load control to achieve load reduction after receiving the demand response command of via two way communication. The load control function can also be activated by the real time pricing information, which has been downloaded from utility control center. The embedded power management system is developed to perform the management of intelligent power meters to monitor and control electrical appliances. Based on the field test, the intelligent power meter can be used for load shedding or power due to achieve energy conservation and enhance system stability for smart grid application.

“…are the stateof-the-art research of modern times. Some researchers suggest the use of incentives/tariffbased control for generating optimal power flow and balancing active and reactive power in the system, as shown in [23], while other researchers suggest the use of real-time data for generating control logic [24,25]. Some of the research also suggests the integration of inverter control logic and related incentive tariffs [26,27] within the SMX/SMG module which will be both cost-effective and user-customized.…”

In this paper, an introduction and comprehensive analysis have been presented for the implementation and application of modern smart meters which include Unbundled Smart Meters (USM) and Next-Generation Open Real-Time Smart Meters (NORM). This article also contributes to methods through which USM and NORM could provide a better perspective to the already available technologies for grid-tied-inverter controlled feeding renewables to the grid. The research proposes a next-generation smart meter model with the feature of a phasor measurement unit. The meter is further integrated with a controller board that controls the power injection from the inverter to the grid based on the real-time data obtained from the smart meter. The inverter is simulated with an open-circuit fault and is controlled to provide non-oscillatory power to the grid based on an instantaneous grid power factor or phase requirement. The proposed meter has the flexibility to add additional features to control the inverter based on other grid requirements such as active and reactive power control, tariff implementation, etc. This manuscript provides the analytical aspects of the use of smart meters in efficient energy management and also addresses the need for smart technologies for grid modernization.
