Integrated energy management system framework for the distributed smart meters in smart grid environment

Abstract

Far beyond the simple energy metering, these devices enable companies to inform the customers, to control the load and to increase the energy consciousness. The standardization of the smart functionalities is in progress. The households for lack of knowledge and information do not care for the energy retrenchment. New central software applications have been developed that can perform remote energy management functions through communication to the distributed smart meters (specific value calculation, trend monitoring, limit violation alarm, etc.). This paper describes an overview about the integrated Energy Management System Framework and makes recommendations which functions would be useful in the Korea environment.
