This paper studies the security module for the reliable transmission of the meter reading and the control data between the remote terminals and the upper server-side in smart water grid. The proposed security module was implemented to make it attachable to the remote terminal without security function. In particular, unlike the smart grid of electric field, the low power is considered due to the use of battery power in the smart water grid, and the ARIA-GCM-128 symmetric key method is adopted taking into the account that the damp and constrictive environments by the installed meter location in the underground occur a communication obstacle on building of the large-scale network system. The encryption module of this paper was devised to ensure the safety between the reading data on the terminal and the control data from the upper server, and secure the stability of the remote meter reading system by taking protection against an arbitrary alteration or modification.

This paper develops an ADWHM(Advanced Digital Watt Hour Meter) based on RISK type'8bit micro-controller, which has voltage management data recording function, load management data recording function as well as the existing watt-hour data recording data function. It can enhance greatly the economics of the existing remote meter reading system. Also it can improve highly the quality of power supplied to the electric customer by minimizing the voltage management cost and by enhancing the efficiency of load management.

In this paper, we analyzed the function elements of the Integrated meter reading system based on PLC which is working in Mok-dong, Seoul and studied how to improve the vulnerability. Also we propose an efficient method for the estimation of abnormal life status through frequency domain processing of utility meter readings. We found out that even after removing the high-frequency components from the raw meter data, the shape of the graph still maintains the original graph characteristics. The graph of the inverse transformed data has simpler and smoother curve than the original graph pattern. The original graph is not good to be used in deciding whether the residence's life pattern is normal or not. We could find out that the graph which is processed frequency signal has simple and intuitive graph pattern.

Due to the reinforcement of government's DSM(Demand Side Management) policy. Solid State Meter was introduced in Korea since 1993 and it is applied to the high voltage customer exceeding 100kW in order to equalize daily load curve. In recent days, KEPCO has a Plan to use the Solid State Meter which has a data recording and remote meter-reading function for low voltage customer to introduce the real-time pricing system and reduce peak power in the near future. So, this paper suggests the specification and function of Solid State Meter.

In this paper, We present demodulation and synchronization method of phase shift keying signal using Double Frequency Vector Technique for Reference Vector. 2nd Harmonic Vector for Reference Vector is utilized in discriminating between noise and carrier signal, and in producting correlation value for data bit logical level. And we applied this demodulator to Automatic Meter Reading System being communicated with electric distribution power lines.

In this paper, the efficient prevention of cross talk technique for basically avoiding the confusion problem between the overlapped ubiquitous network of the other object is developed within the same area. The intelligent unified wireless network remote meter reading system of the ubiquitous ZigBee base is developed based on this technology. Therefore, in this paper, each meter reading equipments managed the information of its own adjacent ZigBee channel. The intelligent network system steadily transmitting data a relay was developed based upon this information in each region through the flexible channel conversion technique.

To analyze the load of distribution line, real LPs (Load Profile) of AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) customers and VLPs (Virtual Load Profile) of non-AMR customers are required. Accuracy of VLP is an important factor to improve the analysis performance. There are 2 kinds of methods to generate the VLP; one is using ALP (Average Load Profile) per each industrial code and PNN (Probability neural networks) algorithm; the other is using LSI (Load Shape Index) and C5.0 algorithm. In this paper, existing researches are studied, and new method is suggested. Each methods are compared the performance with same LP data of real high voltage customers.

Customer clustering method is used to make a TDLP (typical daily load profile) to estimate the quater hourly load profile of non-AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) customer. In this paper, repeated small-sized clustering method is supposed to improve the classifying ability of TDLP. K-means algorithm is well-known clustering technology of data mining. To reduce the local maxima of k-means algorithm, proposed method clusters average load profiles to small-sized clusters and selects the highest error rated cluster and clusters this to small-sized clusters repeatedly to minimize the local maxima.

The Demand Response Market is a nation-wide power and energy management program of electric power demand response operated by KPX (Korea Power eXchange). Therefore, any savings could be determined by KEPCO's AMR(Automatic Meter Reading) data. However, the customers and the service providers participating in the market could not know the real time value due to the 15 minute or even more delayed AMR data communicated. Here, a new concept of a smart box has been introduced and demonstrated to provide the real time saving values compared to the current KEPCO's AMR data approach.
