Methodology for PLC evaluation in Smart Metering
Rusz, Martin ; Sláčik, Ján (referee) ; Mlýnek, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this work is to acquire basic knowledge about PLC technology and to make a set of measurements focusing on the main parameters of this technology as well as to perform a set of short-term measurements of PLC communication in Smart Metering systems and to design a methodology for testing two real systems. Measurements were made in laboratory conditions on prepared tasks that covered all types of technology, both broadband and narrowband with one or more carriers. In addition, a methodology for testing PLC communications in Smart Metering systems was developed, which was applied to two systems using different technologies. On the basis of the results achieved, it was decided which of the two systems is more suitable for real use according to the methodology and set of short-term measurements.

Analysis of Smart Grid devices
Kolacia, Tomáš ; Šlezingr, Jan (referee) ; Radil, Lukáš (advisor)
This work deals with smart grids and smart metering in power grids. The first part of the thesis is focused on the comparison between classic topology of electrical grid and smart grid concept including the benefits, which could be achieved. The other parts of smart grid concept are described as well, such as energy storage and electromobility including charging points infrastructure. The second part of the thesis deals with smart metering devices and it describes routing protocols for smart grids. The following chapters summarize practical experience with addressed issues in Europe and in the Czech Republic. The last part is dedicated to evaluation of smart metering implementation in the Czech Republic.

Smart Metering demonstration demo
Gregor, Filip ; Musil, Petr (referee) ; Mlýnek, Petr (advisor)
The thesis deals with PLC technology and issues with Smart Metering. In the theoretical part, a principle of technology's functionality and its advantages and disadvantages were described. In the experimental part methodology of data concentrator and electric meters was designed. In addition, extensive testing set according to capturing of DLMS communication, link quality influencing, reading registers of meters were realized. In the second experimental part limits of communications between broadband BPL modems were detected by the power line communication hardware channel emulator. Measurement of throughput, latency, frame loss passed off according to RCF 2544, RFC 6349 recommendation and according to the methodology of TCP Throughput In the last part, two laboratory exercises were created, first one deals with Smart Metering system and communication between the data concentrator and electric meters and the second one deals with communication among broadband BPL modems not only for Smart Metering purposes.

The Benefits and Pitfalls of Smart Meter Data Collection
Bazal, Stanislav ; Morávek, Jan (referee) ; Šedrlová, Magdalena (advisor)
In recent years, the demand for electricity has been increasing in households because various appliances and newest technologies have been used on an everyday basis. This raises concerns about the lack of electricity production around the globe. There is also a need for people to track their daily power usage in houses. The aim of this thesis is to explain the term smart metering and its benefits for both people that might use this technology in their households, and for companies. Smart meters allow people to track and control their energy consumption and eventually it might result in cheaper costs of the resources. What is more, the smart meters help consumers to know specific information about the consumption of electricity for appliances. In a global scale, the smart metering technology is used in smart grids which are more environmentally friendly power grids with higher efficiency and greater energy production. This work also focuses on the overall distribution of smart meters both in the Czech Republic and in the world. Nowadays, there are many projects in progress that are trying to switch from traditional power plants to smart grids with the intention to increase energy production and to become eco-friendly. The companies behind these projects have already published some of their researches which bring positive information about the energy production. The majority of these projects should be in progress until 2020 and some until 2025. Therefore, the final conclusion whether the smart metering technology will replace the traditional power grids and will be implemented in households cannot be drawn yet. This thesis also contains a practical part in which I create a user interface in Grafana, which is an open-source software for time series analytics. The user interface is created for a Raspberry Pi touch display which has a sensor connected to it that allows us to measure energy consumption of electricity meters. The measured values are then presented in useful graphs and gauges in Grafana, and also on the display itself.

Smart grids - smart grid for energy
Kapoun, Vladislav ; Mlýnek, Petr (referee) ; Mišurec, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is aimed at the analysis and the description of Smart Grids within the field of power engeneering. It deals with Smart Grids´ general requirements and their practical application. Furthermore, it discusses Smart Grids´ security measures, and describes its components. It also draws up intelligent household, selects and theoretically applies components to pre-selected object. The bachelor thesis further encompasses a network simulation whose graphs show channel transmissivity among concentrators while data are simulated.
