Applying of IIoT technologies in an automated information system for monitoring and accounting of energy resources

Abstract

The authors consider the actual task of increasing the scalability and ease of deployment of a distributed automated system for monitoring and metering of energy resources (ASMMER, hereinafter referred to as the System). The system intended for experimental investigation of complex transient modes of operation in high-voltage circuits of power supply systems (up to 25 kV) of the experimental Sverdlovsk Railway (Russian Railways) pilot site. This article proposes a solution using the technologies of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The protocol stack for the system, that was formed and implemented programmatically, reduces the amount of traffic in the system and supports existing and developing devices with LoRa and XNB technologies. The proposed solutions allowed the development of mobile information-measuring systems using wireless technologies (ZigBee, LoRa, XNB) and independent power sources. The proposed set of solutions allows providing a modular architecture for the rapid addition of new devices and functions through the use of IIoT technologies.
