Smart metering is one of the most implementable internet-of-thing service. In order to implement the smart metering, a wireless communication network should be newly designed and evaluated so as to satisfy quality-of-service of smart metering. In this paper, we consider a wireless network for the smart metering implemented with multi-purpose wireless chips and channel coding-functioned micro controllers. Especially, channel coding is newly adopted to improve successful frame transmission probability. Based on the successful frame transmission probability, average transmission delay and delay violation probability are analyzed. Using the analytical results, service coverage expansion is evaluated. Through the delay analysis, service feasibility can be verified. According to our results, channel coding needs not to be utilized to improve the delay performance if the smart metering service coverage is several tens of meters. However, if more coverage is required, chanel coding adoption definitely reduces the delay time and improve the service feasibility.

As the electric power industry has been revolutionarily transformed such that the distributed energy resources have been interconnected with power systems and a variety of energy service providers have been appeared, the need of Consumer Energy Portal as a core of two-way communication and service infrastructure between power suppliers and consumers has been gradually increased. Consumer Energy Portal can be thought of as a combination of hardware and software enabling two-way communication between energy service providers and equipment within the consumers' premises or a physical and logical link between consumers' in-building networks and wide-area access networks. In other words, Consumer Energy Portal can make the way the power industry has been traditionally operated the web-based way, enabling two-way interactions between energy service providers and consumers and mutual networking between end users' equipment. Thus, Consumer Energy Portal can be a kind of Service portal that provides new value-added services and efficient power operations that in the past. In this paper, for ESPs' integrated resources management, demand side management and value-added service provision, we have established the two-way access network that can gather real-time metering data using ZigBee technology and control physically networked equipment.

An electronic watt-hour meter with high-precision measurement technology can provide many valuable metering data of a real-time system measurements, such as per-phase voltage, ampere, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, and system frequency. Also many of accumulated metering data such as active energy, reactive energy, apparent energy, and load profile can be gettable from an electronic watt-hour meter[1]. This paper presents an approach of the small-sized AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) that provides customers with a very valuable electrical service. This AMR service transmits lots of a valuable metering data by using ZigBee communication module, so that users resided in their premises can use the information to audit a power quality and improve their electrical conditions by using the PQ monitoring device equipped with ZigBee receiver. This PQ monitoring device shows metering data on LCD and transmits to the PC through an internal network. Also, the device can keep the valuable meter data into a built-in non-volatile memory. The final goal of this paper is to better understand the power quality of electrical systems and offer the power qualify information for the convenience of all power consumers.

최근 지하철 9호선은 2단계 연장구간의 개통으로 최대 240% 혼잡도를 기록하는 등 지옥철로 불리우며 역사 내 상습혼잡에 대한 문제점이 지속적으로 야기되고 있는 실정이다. 역사 내 혼잡은 이용객의 불쾌감 유발과 철도 운영 효율성을 저하시키는 요인이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 철도역사 내 상습혼잡 해소를 위해 철도 이용객 정보제공의 효과평가 방법론을 정립하고자 하였으며, 효과평가 방법론 중 승강장의 혼잡상황을 고려한 Gate Metering 사례 연구를 진행하였다. Gate Metering을 접목시킨 Micro Simulation 및 Pedestrian Simulation Tool을 선정하여 열차의 혼잡도별 Metering 효과분석을 시행하였으며, 그 결과 Gate Metering 시행 시 혼잡도별 승강장의 서비스 수준 및 보행밀도가 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 승강장에서 Metering을 실시 할 경우 플랫폼 대기 공간 내 혼잡도 조절 가능성이 있다고 판단한 것 이다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여 철도역사 내 이용객 혼잡도 관리를 위한 정보제공 효과평가 지표 수립 및 프로그램을 통한 이용객 정보제공 효과평가 방법론 정립이 가능하다는 것으로 판단되었다.

회전교차로는 각 접근로의 진입교통량이 불균형할 경우 주 접근로의 대기행렬이 길어지게 됨으로 회전교차로 전체의 용량이 감소되는 단점이 있다. 이에 보통 1대의 신호등으로 운영되는 Metering 회전교차로의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만 2대의 신호등에 의해 운영되는 Metering 회전교차로의 연구는 미흡하다. 교차로 분석에 널리 사용되는 SIDRA6 또한 2대의 신호등으로 구성된 회전교차로의 분석에 제약이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 2대의 신호등으로 운영되는 호주 Adelaide의 Old Belair 회전교차로를 대상으로 4-nodes Intersection을 이용한 새로운 분석방법을 제시하고 분석을 실시하였다. 모형 구축 방법에서 4개의 독립 교차로 연결, 기하구조 반영, 방향별 교통량 입력, 우선권 및 신호현시에 대해 설명하였으며 정산방법에서는 PFF, Critical Gap, Follow-up Headway 그리고 Extra Bunching 값의 적용에 대하여 제시 하였다. 그 결과 회전교차로의 효과척도인 지체시간 및 서비스 수준의 분석이 가능하며 그 외 포화도 및 상충교통량 등 다양한 분석이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The ZigBee network has been considered to monitor electricity usage of home appliances in the smart grid network. ZigBee, however, may suffer from a coexistence problem with wireless local area network (WLAN). In this paper, to resolve the coexistence problem between ZigBee network and WLAN, we propose a new protocol constructing a cognitive smart grid network for supporting monitoring of home appliances. In the proposed protocol, home appliances first estimates the transmission timing and channel information of WLAN by reading request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) frames of WLAN. Next, based on the estimated information, home appliances transmit a data at the same time as WLAN transmission. To manage the interference between WLAN and smart grid network, we propose a cognitive beamforming algorithm. The beamforming algorithm is designed to guaranteeing zero interference to WLAN while satisfying a required rate for smart metering. We also propose an energy efficient rate adaptation algorithm. By slowing down the transmission rate while satisfying an imperceptible impact of quality of service (QoS) of the receiver, the home appliance can significantly save transmit power. Numerical results show that the proposed multiple antenna technique provides reliable communications for smart metering with reduced power comparing to the simple transmission technique.
