| dc.description.abstract | Modern cities and large utility companies need to implement new or expanding measurement strategies and technologies to exchange information with each client, in real time. This will allow better control over the grid network and reduce operating costs whi le maintaining the grids in a higher realm, fighting against fraudulent customers. Some of these systems are based on the IEEE 802.15.4k variant, where information is transmitted in wireless mode around of 169MHz, using very low power devices which can increase battery lifetime by several years. Telemetry systems are designed to automatically collect meter consumption data, transfer and stored them in a central database, internal or external to the management company for billing purposes or others. Implementation of such systems allow more reliable and frequent readings, eliminating the usual rough estimates of consumption, often exaggerated by allowing more efficient charging and a reduction in the number of customer complaints. The information obtained can also be used for technical purposes, such as park management accountants, network planning and design of expansion and maintenance of the network (audits excesses in consumption and control of real excesses by customers). This thesis is focused on the study of telemetry systems using low consumption equipment (operating in the frequency region of 169MHz), and network planning of such systems in different scenarios, as well as practical implementation of a typical scenario in order to verify the analysis results and benefits. Specifically, the study of these systems goes through deepening their definitions and characteristics to be able to plan possible network telemetry. After the theory part, a possible scenario will be considered for practical implementation of these systems. The solution is to installing a device in a counter and after certain times, for example each hour, send for a Gateway, where it will arrive to the regulatory authority. | en |
