Abstract

Recently technological developments have focused on the efficient use of energy from the implementation of smart grids. Management of resources in these networks requires monitoring of the devices that are part of the system. In this sense, an advanced metering infrastructure to record variables such as the voltage, current, phase, frequency and power of energy conversion equipment and loads allows management systems make decisions for activation/deactivation of sources and connect/disconnect of loads in a microgrid in real time. In this paper, several alternatives for data transmission in a microgrid are proposed, by using a communication infrastructure with minimum safety requirements, low delays, reliability, and scalability based on the results obtained by simulation in wireless media for IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11 standard implemented in Matlab
