Abstract

The installation rate of AMI(: Advanced Metering Infrastructure) capable of automatic electricity measurement is less than 43% nationwide and 10.5% in rural areas, which is very poor. Therefore, for the smart grid, automatic information recording of the watt-hour meter is required. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop a system capable of remote meter reading and use control by improving the existing watt-hour meter. In this paper, in order to enable the AMI function of the existing electricity meter, the remote meter reading and control technology of the existing electricity meter for AMI, the core of the smart grid, was developed using IoT and AI. The main research content was to recognize numbers using Tensorflow and Open-cv to convert it into a power meter sensing device for SG. We confirmed and checked the performance using the protyope system.

자동전력량 측정이 가능한 AMI(: Advanced Metering Infrastructure)의 설치 비율은 전국적으로 43% 미만이고 특히 지역 기준인 경우에는 10.5%로 매우 열악한 상태이다. 따라서 스마트그리드를 위해서는 전력량계의 자동 정보 기록이 필요하므로 이를 위해서 기존 전력계량계를 개선하여 원격검침 및 사용 제어가 가능한 시스템 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존 전력량계를 AMI기능이 가능하게 하려면 IoT 및 AI를 이용하여 스마트 그리드 핵심인 AMI를 위한 기존 전력 계량기의 원격검침 및 제어 기술 개발을 수행하였다. 주요 연구 내용은 SG를 위한 전력계량기 감지 장치로 변환하기 위하여 Tensorflow와 Open-cv를 이용하여 숫자를 인식하였고, SG를 위한 전력계량기 원격검침 기능 테스트를 위해서는 Intel-Edson 하드웨어와 연동하여 장치를 구성하여 성능을 확인하였다.
