Smart metering field implementation with power line communication in low voltage distribution grid

Smart Grids (SG) enable power generation, distribution, transmission, customers and utilities to transfer, predict, monitor manage energy usage effectively. In order provide them, SGs need be fully realized by integrating communication technologies infrastructures. Today, have some main systems. These are Advanced Meter Reading (AMR), distributed renewable energy, storage, electric vehicle smart city-home implementations. AMR is the most prominent SG component between all Because it provides follow consumers remotely momentarily using their Meters (SM). system based on SM, gateway, meter data management software wired or wireless method. Nowadays, Power Line Communication (PLC) popular method for remote reading because of try use existing distribution grid infrastructure. On other hand, GPRS/EDGE/3G one widespread implementations but its costly external dependence has started search new methods instead. this paper, practically twelve meters tried read with PLC in Ye?il?rmak Electric Distribution Company field until transformer. results that captured will evaluate software. Then an model put forward thanks implementation. Beside a hybrid been suggested metering. key parameters find out. addition, concentrator (DC), gateway features equipment configurations research.
