Distributed Generation Grid Infrastructure using Smart Meters Modeled with Renewable Energy Sources and Power Trading

The paper deals with the implementation of Smart Meters for small scale domestic electricity generation and utilization between houses connected in a Distributed Generation Grid Infrastructure (DGGI). This is a communication strategy to design the smart meters that are intelligent enough to monitor & control the flow of electricity through the entire provincial electricity system; measures the instantaneous power, being delivered to the homes connected in micro grid; records generation & consumption data on an hourly/weekly/monthly basis; and also detects the power outages. This system helps to encounter the problem of power shortages to the most profitable way since the energy crises are in the peak in recent days. Moreover the project implements the smart meters for distributed generation in a network. A lot of research works in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is going on with the aim of giving integrated service switches, time based rates and remote meter programming. This project is further more evolution from AMI with the implementation of smart meters to monitor and control the transmission and reception of self generated power of every individual home connected in DGGI. The cost calculation for power trading between houses in grid also has been done.
