A Study on the Development of Communication Protocol of Electric Power Meter for Remote Reading

원격검침용 전자석 전력량계 통신 프로토콜 개발에 관한 연구

In this paper, we propose a new communication protocol for remote metering in electric power meters, also define necessary functions for it. The new protocol is based on the international metering protocol. IEC 1107, 62056, DNP 3.0. This protocol has 4-layered architecture, which has physical. data link, lower application, and upper application layers. For each layer, definitions and detailed functions are introduced. The protocol will be used for communication between the meters and the metering computer(or AMR system). KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) plans to adopt this protocol as a part of a new metering standard for electric power meters.
