Many countries are witnessing the deployment of millions of smart meters, as they strive to upgrade their traditional grid to the smart grid already prominent in the developed parts of the world. Communication networks that can offer high-speed communication will be required for transmission of the copious amount of data resulting from the numerous smart meters and other intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in the distribution network substation. Therefore, there is a need to critically assess the available communication infrastructure for eventual upgrade and deployment. In this paper, a survey of the communication network and networks simulation software used for this purpose was carried out, with specific emphasis on smart metering applications. Some critical requirements identified are security, quality of service (QoS) and optimal cost for system operation. Also discussed are methods employed in the works of literature to handle the critical issues raised. For data transmission between the meters and data concentrators; power line communication (PLC) was mostly cost-effective and hence, mostly deployed. In the wireless category, ZigBee (802.15.4), and WiMAX (802.16) among others are suitable and have been successfully deployed. OPNET, NS-3, NS-2, and OMNET++ have been successfully employed for communication network simulations in smart metering applications.

The appeal for more reliable, efficient and resilient power grids has become indispensable with the recent technological development and ever-increasing demand for electrical energy. These goals might be achieved by introducing sensors and actuators in the power grid, with the purpose of enabling a smart control of the power network. All power devices must be connected using a reliable communication network, which should be able to operate even when the power grid fails. Currently, several communication technologies have been applied for supporting this new application scenario. This paper aims for reviewing both academic and market use cases for technologies applied to the mission-critical, control networks and Smart Grid applications, such as teleprotection, self-healing, communication with control centers and field devices, among others. More specifically, the key aspects, potential technologies, main protocols and use cases of operating data networks in energy transmission, power distribution and smart grid environments, including circuit and packet switching technologies, are discussed into details. Furthermore, resilience and the main telecommunications technologies used in power grids, as well, the correlation among them, are exploited in practical point of view. The article provides a broad discussion on the best telecommunication options to build the emerging intelligent energy distribution systems, covering control networks, teleprotection, and smart grid applications.

“…In addition to the smart meter systems, the smart home management systems and plug-in energy metering devices play an important role in helping customers to save energy [13]- [18]. The application of the Wi-Fi-based WSN architecture for remote meter reading applications brings advantages such as high-bandwidth, transmission capacity, coverage area, low cost, and easy expandability in data transmission [19]. Furthermore, with its high transmission rate and capacity, the Wi-Fi-based WSN architecture will play a key role in the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart grid studies in remote meter reading applications as well [20], [21].…”

Smart meters are among the fundamental components of smart grids due to their features such as high-accuracy energy measurement, remote reading, and control. They are also utilized to reduce the rate of illegal electrical energy use in some distribution areas. This paper presents the development of a Wi-Fi smart meter and designing a smart plug-in device for customer-side energy management. In this way, a method that does not require additional infrastructure and extra investment for remotely reading the energy consumption in environments with common Wi-Fi networks, such as large shopping malls, business centers, community buildings, villa cities, and university campuses has been proposed. The Wi-Fi smart meter and smart energy metering module (SEMM) support various user-friendly applications in accordance with the infrastructure of the smart grid and smart building applications. The SEMM is capable of measuring, monitoring, and remotely managing each electrical device. Thanks to the developed mobile application, customers can monitor their Wi-Fi smart meter data and also the consumption of each electrical device through the SEMMs as well as remotely manage these devices. The application examples presented in this study are also aimed at increasing awareness of energy saving for customers.Akıllı sayaçlar, yüksek doğrulukta enerji ölçümü, uzaktan okuma ve kontrol gibi özellikleri sayesinde akıllı şebekelerin temel bileşenleri arasında yer almaktadır. Akıllı sayaçlar bazı dağıtım bölgelerinde kaçak elektrik enerjisi kullanım oranını azaltmak için de kullanılmaktadır. Bu makale, bir Wi-Fi akıllı sayacının geliştirilmesi ile enerji izleme ve yönetimi için akıllı bir ölçüm-kontrol cihazının tasarımını sunmaktadır. Bu sayede büyük alışveriş merkezleri, iş merkezleri, toplu konut siteleri, villa şehirler ve üniversite kampüsleri gibi ortak Wi-Fi ağlarının bulunduğu ortamlarda enerji tüketimini uzaktan okumak için ilave altyapı ve ekstra yatırım gerektirmeyen bir yöntem önerilmiştir. Wi-Fi akıllı sayaç ve akıllı enerji ölçüm modülü (SEMM), akıllı şebeke ve akıllı bina uygulamalarının altyapısına uygun olarak çeşitli kullanıcı dostu uygulamaları desteklemektedir. SEMM, her bir elektrikli cihazın tüketiminin ölçülmesi, izlenebilmesi ve uzaktan yönetilebilmesine olanak sağlayacak özelliktedir. Geliştirilen mobil uygulama sayesinde, müşteriler Wi-Fi akıllı sayaç verilerini ve ayrıca her bir elektrikli cihazın tüketimini SEMM'ler üzerinden izleyebilmekte ve bu cihazları uzaktan yönetebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada sunulan uygulama örnekleri, tüketiciler için de enerji tasarrufu bilincini artırmayı amaçlamaktadır.
