Development of a Smart Energy Meter for Power Grids

ABSTRACT : Smart cities implement information and communication technologies (ICTs), IoTs devices, sustainable projects, among others, to enhance quality of life, proficiency and efficiency. Power grids can incorporate these qualities to a transform into a smart grid. In this context, smart meters play a crucial role by submitting information of the grid in real-time to a management center and helping the utilities to take decisions. In this thesis it is described the development of a smart meter, from the analysis of the requirements, the design of the different systems, components acquisition, the design of the PCB, firmware structure, up the connection to a database. It is a prototype project that proposes to solve problems such as fraud (stealth), grid failures, energy distribution inefficiency, etc. while offering scalability, proficiency and flexibility of use to the utilities. Its application context is the city of Medellín, Antioquia, and is involved in a master project of the Universidad de Antioquia.
