스마트그리드(Smart Grid)는 기존의 단방향 전력망인 자동화 검침 장치(Automated Meter Reading, AMR)에서 발전하여 양방향으로 실시간 정보를 교환하는 '지능형 전력망'이다. 스마트그리드 환경에서는 수요 반응(Demand Response) 서비스를 이용하여 전력 사용을 효과적으로 분산 할 수 있다. 하지만 보안에 대한 대비가 충분하지 않을 시에는 데이터의 삽입, 변조에 의해 시스템이 오용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 미터의 검침 값이 네트워크를 통해 전력정보처리시스템(Meter Data Management System, MDMS)까지 전달되는 과정에서 데이터 변조의 발생여부를 탐지할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문의 탐지 방법을 통해 신뢰성 있는 수요 반응 서비스를 제공할 수 있으며, 이는 효율적인 전력 사용을 유도할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper highlights the home concentrate device(HCD) that integrates the data reading and display of the six types of meters (water, hot water, heating, cooling, gas and electricity) used in Korean residential areas. Unlike the conventional system which utilizes single MCU, the developed system uses two MCUs for one MCU to gather the meter readings and for the other MCU to communicate to the server computer. Hard ware design, communication protocols, LCD design and program structures are discussed and the test results are shown in this paper. With the implementation of integrated meter reading, the developed system can increase the popularity of automatic meter reading(AMR) with its better scalability, pricing, installation fee, maintenance and faster response.

Power is compared to the overall share of energy continues to increase, so as a way for efficient demand management and value added according to the AMR system was introduced. But there is a risk in a variety of external attack, such as when you use the remote meter reading system, cyber attacks and hacking. It is considered that the measures sought, which can be used to prevent or pre safer urgent. In this paper, I want to point out the current research trends and issues of security authentication technology of remote meter reading system.

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is the key to operate a change from the traditional manual reading of water meters and sensors to an automated system where high frequency data is remotely collected and analyzed in real time, one of the main components of a Smart Water Grid. The recent boom of ICT offers a wide range of both wired and wireless technologies to achieve this objective. We review and present in this article the most widely recognized technologies and protocols along with their respective advantages, drawbacks and applicability range which can be Home Area Network (HAN), Building Area Network (BAN) or Local/Neighborhood Area Network (LAN/NAN). We also present our findings and we give recommendations on the application of ICT in Smart Water Grids and future work needed.

Smart Grid is the next-generation intelligent power grid that maximizes energy efficiency with the convergence of IT technologies and the existing power grid. Smart Grid is created solution for standardization and interoperability. Smart Grid industry enables consumers to check power rates in real time for active power consumption. It also enables suppliers to measure their expected power generation load, which stabilizes the operation of the power system. Smart industy was ecolved actively cause Wireless communication is being considered for AMI system and wireless communication using ZigBee sensor has been applied in various industly. In this paper, we proposed efficient addressing scheme for improving the performance of the routing algorithm using ZigBee in Smart Grid environment. A distributed address allocation scheme used an existing algorithm has wasted address space. Therefore proposing x, y coordinate axes from divide address space of 16 bit to solve this problem. Each node was reduced not only bitwise but also multi hop using the coordinate axes while routing than Cskip algorithm. I compared the performance between the standard and the proposed mechanism through the numerical analysis. Simulation verify performance about decrease averaging multi hop count that compare proposing algorithm and another. The numerical analysis results show that proposed algorithm reduce multi hop than ZigBee distributed address assignment and another.

부가서비스는 공급자가 소비자에게 제공하는 본질적인 재화 또는 서비스에 추가하여 부수적으로 제공되는 서비스라는 사전적 의미를 갖고 있다. 최근에는 IT 기술이 발전함에 따라, 웹을 기반으로 한 다양한 부가서비스가 각 산업에서 등장하였으며, 때로는 기본적인 서비스처럼 여겨지기도 할 만큼 성장하고 있다. 전력산업에서도 이러한 시대적 요구와 경쟁력 강화를 위한 수단으로 부가서비스가 도입되고 있다. 초기에는 주로 이메일 청구서 형태의 단순한 서비스였으나, 현재는 다양한 전력 인프라와 데이터를 이용한 전력부가서비스가 시도되고 있다. 국내에도 전력부가서비스 개념이 도입되어, 초기에는 전력부가서비스의 필요성과 이에 대한 인식이 부족하여 제한적인 분야에서만 개발되어왔다. 그러나 최근들어 공급자는 고객을 위한 부가서비스의 중요성을 인식하게 되고, 수용가 또한 이에 대한 높은 관심을 보임에 따라, 점차 다양한 분야로 확대되는 경향을 보이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 시장의 변화를 고려하여, 국내의 전력산업 환경에 적합한 부가서비스 BM을 개발하되, 성공적인 전력부가서비스로 구축하기 위해 수용가의 선호도와 요구사항을 조사하고 이를 충분히 반영한 전력부가서비스 BM(Business Model) 개발 및 시스템 구축방안에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

Power plants maintenance data is to be sent to management server system via a communication network. In this case, reliable communication network is required. Transmission of the power plants maintenance data is used in the wired communication network or wireless communication network. PLC communication network is a kind of wired communication network. However PLC communication network is easily affected by noise. On the vulnerable areas in power line system, such as a mountain or rural areas, it is difficult to form a power line communication network. For a wireless communication, environment are also influenced factors in wireless communication. Harsh environmental factors are bring the communication characteristic degradation. In such areas it can be used a combination of two networks and in this way the complementary function can be achieved. Power plants are distributed in various regions across the country. The appropriate communication network is needed to maintain the power plant.This study investigated the effect of environment on the wired communication and wireless communication. It would examine a variable factor which is affect to the communication characteristic. We used PLC communication for wired communication network and ZigBee communication for wireless communication network. We investigated the characteristics of a single communication network and it raised the need for a complex communication technology to complement a single communication network.

In this paper, we proposed the efficient addressing scheme for improving the performance of routing algorithm by using ZigBee in Smart Grid environment. A distributed address allocation scheme used an existing algorithm that has wasted in address space. Therefore proposing x, y and z coordinate axes from divided address space of 16 bit to solve this problems. Each node was reduced not only bitwise but also multi hop using the coordinate axes while routing than $Cskip$ algorithm. I compared the performance between the standard and the proposed mechanism through the numerical analysis. Simulation verified performance about decrease averaging multi hop count that compare proposing algorithm and another. The numerical analysis results show that proposed algorithm reduced the multi hop better than ZigBee distributed address assignmen.

As field of application of AMI, AMR uses the power line as the primary means of communication. PLC has a big merit without installation of the new network for communication in a field using the power line which is the existing equipment. However, there is a serious obstacle in commercialization for the instability by noise and communication environment. Therefore, the technical method for maintaining the communication state which overcome such demerit and was stabilized is required essentially. PLC routing technology is applied with the alternative plan now. The routing technology currently managed by field includes many problems by applying the algorithm of an elementary level. PLC routing path search problem can be modeled with the problem of searching for optimal solution as similar to such as optimal routing problem and TSP(Travelling salesman problem). In this paper, in order to search for a PLC routing path efficiently and to choose the optimal path, GA(Genetic Algorithm) was applied. Although PLC was similar in optimal solution search as compared with typical GA, it also has a difference point by the characteristic of communication, and presented the new methodology over this. Moreover, the validity of application technology was verified by showing the experimental result to which GA is applied and analyzing as compared with the existing algorithm.
