Redes de energia elétrica inteligentes (smart grids)

Trecho da Nota Técnica: "Com o avanço do uso da tecnologia digital nos sistemas de fornecimento de energia elétrica, começa a surgir o que se convencionou chamar de quarta geração desses sistemas, ou seja, as chamadas smart grids, caracterizadas pelo uso intensivo de equipamentos digitais, de telecomunicações, de sensoriamento e operação remotos de instalações, e de tecnologia de informação (TI), adicionalmente às instalações físicas de geração, transmissão e distribuição de energia elétrica existentes."

Enhanced Operation of Electricity Distribution Grids Through Smart Metering PLC Network Monitoring, Analysis and Grid Conditioning

Low Voltage (LV) electricity distribution grid operations can be improved through a combination of new smart metering systems' capabilities based on real time Power Line Communications (PLC) and LV grid topology mapping. This paper presents two novel contributions. The first one is a new methodology developed for smart metering PLC network monitoring and analysis. It can be used to obtain relevant information from the grid, thus adding value to existing smart metering deployments and facilitating utility operational activities. A second contribution describes grid conditioning used to obtain LV feeder and phase identification of all connected smart electric meters. Real time availability of such information may help utilities with grid planning, fault location and a more accurate point of supply management.
