Abstract

A novel intelligent wireless electric power management and control (IWEMC) system based on ZigBee technology is presented in this paper. It evolves from the traditional automatic meter reading (AMR) system. The IWEMC system includes intelligent electric meter, data collector, concentrator and specialized analysis software. Compared with AMR system, IWEMC system has three outstanding advantages: (1) ad-hoc communication network based on ZigBee technology; (2) synchronous acquisition of various power parameters; (3) distributed data storage. Transformer power supply area is the basic unit of IWEMC system. Power line loss and the characteristics of power grid and load can be achieved by monitoring the electric power consumption process of high voltage power line, low voltage power line and load of the transformer unit. IWEMC system proposes strategies of energy conservation by analyzing the relationship between electric power supply and consumption, on-line and real-time diagnosing the operation of power grid and equipment.
