The objective of this study is to identify the requirements for a energy metering device and develop a real-time energy metering device for measuring energy (electricity) consumption of the electric railway vehicle during its operation. The study also evaluated the performance of the AC voltage sensor, current sensor, and data meter for the device and performed EMC tests such as surge and EFT (Burst). The performance tests showed that the percent errors of the AC voltage sensor and current sensor were ${\leq}0.1%$, and ${\leq}0.5%$ under 10~127V, and 10~250A, respectively. The result of surge and EFT (Burst) tests also indicated that the device had no malfunction in any wave (combination and ring waves) under the treat level with 2kV. The result of the field test also confirmed that the device had no malfunction in data metering.

A smart grid is a next-generation power grid that can improve energy efficiency by applying information and communication technology to the general power grid. The smart grid makes it possible to exchange information about electricity production and consumption between electricity providers and consumers in real-time. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is the core technology of the smart grid. The AMI provides two-way communication by installing a modem in an existing digital meter and typically include smart meters, data collection units, and meter data management systems. Because the AMI requires data collection units to control multiple smart meters, it is essential to ensure network availability under heavy network loads. If the load on the work done by the data collection unit is high, it is necessary to allocation new data collection units to ensure availability and improve energy efficiency. In this paper, we discuss the allocation scheme of data collection units for the energy efficiency of the AMI.

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.

As meters become digital and smart, energy data such as electricity, gas, heat, and water can be accurately and efficiently measured with a smart meter, providing consumers with data on energy used, so that real-time demand response and energy management services can be utilized. Although it is developing from a simple metering system to a smart metering industry to create a high value-added industry fused with ICT, illegal counterfeiting of electronic meters is causing problems in intelligent crimes such as manipulation and hacking of SW. The meter not only allows forgery of the meter data through arbitrary manipulation of the SW, but also leaves a fatal error in the metering performance, so that the OIML requires the validation of the SW from the authorized institution. In order to solve this problem, a quantitative confirmation device was developed in order to eradicate the act of cheating the fuel oil quantity through encoder pulse operation and program modulation, etc. In order to prevent the act of deceiving the lubricator, a device capable of checking pulse forgery was developed, manufactured, and verified. In addition, the performance of the device was verified by conducting an experiment on the meter being used in the actual field. It is judged that the developed quantitative confirmation device can be applied to other flow meters other than lubricators, and in this case, accurate measurement can be induced.

한국전력공사는 200년부터 저압 고객에 대한 AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) 기반의 검침시스템을 구축하여 운영하고 있다. 한전의 AMI 검침시스템은 현재 255만호에 설치되어 운영되고 있으며 2020년까지 2200만호를 설치하여 운영할 예정이다. 본 연구에서는 원활한 AMI 검침망 운영을 위해 DCU (Data Concentration Unit) 및 모뎀에 대한 네트워크 동작상태를 감시할 수 있는 AMI 망관리시스템을 개발하였다. AMI 망관리시스템은 네트워크 장비에 대한 속성 데이터 및 네트워크 토플로지 정보, 통신성능 정보, 장애정보 등을 수집하고, 데이터 분석을 통해 장애내역을 생성하며, 원격에서 장비를 제어하는 등의 기능을 제공하고 있다. AMI 망관리시스템은 전력선 통신망에서 네트워크 장비에 대한 약 370여개의 MIB (Management Information Base) 정보를 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)를 이용하여 수집과 제어를 수행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 AMI 망관리시스템에 대한 주요 기능과 설계내용, 구현된 서비스 화면을 소개하고자 한다.

최근 스마트기기의 보급률이 점점 증가하면서, 기기의 활용도가 계속해서 증가함과 동시에 사용되는 응용프로그램도 점차 고급화하고 있다. 그러나 이로 인해 기기의 사용시간은 점차 줄어들게 되는데, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 하드웨어/소프트웨어적으로 수많은 연구들이 이루어지고 있다. 그 중 하나는 프로세스 단위 별로 전력 소모량을 프로파일링하는 것인데, 이렇게 측정된 에너지 소모 데이터에 기반하여 프로세스들을 관리함으로서 잔존 에너지를 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다. 아울러 응용프로그램이 소모하는 에너지 사용 트레이스를 프로그램 설계 단계에서 분석하고 고려함으로서 저전력 프로그램 설계도 가능케 한다. 본 논문에서는 안드로이드 플랫폼을 위한 소프트웨어 기반의 프로세스 레벨 전력 소비량 측정 기법들을 조사하고 그 기법들의 장점과 단점을 서로 비교 분석하여 개선 방안을 제안한다.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)와 Internet of Things (IoT)는 동일한 구성방식과 동작원리에도 불구하고, 현장 단말인 스마트미터와 센서에서 사용하는 객체 모델링과 통신 프로토콜 차이로 인하여 이질적인 시스템으로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 향후에는 IoT 기술 확장과 시장지배력 강화에 따른 상호 간 연계 및 연동은 불가피할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Device Language Message Specification(DLMS) 및 Lightweight Machine to Machine (LwM2M) 표준의 객체 모델링 방식과 자원관리 특징을 분석하여 상호 간 연동 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 연동 모델은 DLMS와 LwM2M 간 1 대 1 변환 방식을 제공하며, LwM2M의 캡슐화(Encapsulation) 전송방식 대비 최대 46.5%로 패킷 크기를 감소시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다.

Recently, a lot of research for the smart grid technology have been carried out to achieve energy efficiency for the electronic products. In order to practically apply this study, smart instruments which are capable of the AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) and DR (Demand Response) function are necessary. However, it is difficult to apply the function of the smart grid to the electronic product that cannot support the smart grid. Accordingly, the efficient use of electric energy is impossible. In order to solve this problem, the electronic product has to be changed into the exclusive electronic product supporting smart grid technology or the smart controller has to be attached the outside of the device. In this study, we developed the smart controller for connecting the electric appliances to the smart grid system. It can be attached to the illumination and the smart grid-based lamp control system at home. We additionally designed the message frame and the protocol to operate the smart controller with the AMI based EMS (Energy Management Server). We developed an experimental system to practically verify functions of the smart controller which is attached to the lighting device. From the system, we showed that the electric source of the illumination can be controlled according to the load change and saved energy effectively. We also confirmed the structural benefit and the energy-efficient effect through the verification of the smart controller.

CNG buses has contributed to improve air quality in cities. But it is difficult to meet the next emission regulations such as EURO-VI without the help of additional post-processing device. Hydorgen has higher flame speed and lower combustion temperature that make it thermal efficiency increase with leaner operation. Using hydrogen natural gas blend (HCNG) fuel is promising technology which can reduce $NO_x$ and $CO_2$ emissions for a natural gas vehicle. However, fuel flow rate of HCNG should be increased since hydrogen's energy density per volume is much smaller than natural gas. In the present study, the characteristics of fuel supply system and its applicability were evaluated in a heavy duty natural gas engine. The results showed that the potential of fuel pressure regulator and fuel metering valve had enough capacity with HCNG. Employed mixer did not affect the distribution characteristics of mixture.
