DLMS/COSEM load generator
Kohout, David ; Mlýnek, Petr (referee) ; Lieskovan, Tomáš (advisor)
This work is focused on Smart Metering, specifically the DLMS/COSEM specification. The paper describes most important parts of the standard and its application in smart grids. At first the DLMS protocol is examined. It is responsible for everything related in communication between clients and servers. Next described think is object model COSEM and its objects called OBIS. It shows how can we reference to these objects. In the second part – Traffic analyser are shown options of analysis of DLMS messages. This is after used for monitoring purposes. There is also described network topology including laboratory equipment. All devices were used for developing and testing the load generator of DLMS messages. App, which was created for this work is then described. The paper also assesses found problems in security and implementation of DLMS protocol.

Data Concentrator for Smart Grids
Franek, Lešek ; Beneš, Bedřich (referee) ; Kučera, Pavel (advisor)
The goal is to design data concentrator for Smart Grids. Data Concentrator provides the interface between the server systems of distribution companies and end devices, which are electricity meters, water meters, gas meters and other equipment. There are hardware and software design solutions and there is also discussed creating its own distribution of Linux.

Shared energy economy
Hráček, Martin ; Maule, Petr (referee) ; Vaněk, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on the use of a photovoltaic power plant in a block of flats, electric power distribution to individual consumers and the economic impact. The first part describes the basic principle of the photovoltaic power plant and a description of the individual parts used for the implementation. The second part is devoted to the operational legislation of the Czech Republic and the foreign operation examples. The third part already provides the specific implementation proposal example, the specific implementation budgets and the economic evaluation of the entire project.

Zigbee node for monitoring of electric energy consumption
Štefany, Martin ; Mráz, Ľubomír (referee) ; Šimek, Milan (advisor)
Master's thesis designs a device for monitoring of electric energy consumption with ability to send measured data wirelessly using ZigBee technology. Theoretical part describes basic principles for measuring electric power and energy and also a possibility of digital measurement. Thesis provides short overview of already existing solutions for electric consumption measurement available on the market as well. Further the ZigBee standard is described together with one of its software implementations named BitCloud from Atmel Corporation. Design of the device deals with the selection of suitable integrated circuit for the consumption measurement and optimal voltage and current sensors. Then also its connection with the wireless module named ZigBee using SPI bus, power supply for the entire device and also the design of PCB. There is also a firmware implementation for the designed device based on BitCloud. Description of the firmware together with calibration process implemented is also part of the thesis. Finally, basic device testing and packet analysis of communication between designed device and ZigBee network coordinator is described.

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.

Monitoring the electricity consumption of the building
Franěk, Vít ; Bátora, Branislav (referee) ; Janík, Daniel (advisor)
The thesis deals with the issue of metering devices in buildings that provide instant and cumulative information for electricity providers and consumers. This information is provided by individual metering devices in order to reduce costs and optimize energy consumption. The thesis presents a theoretical analysis of the metering devices and their subsequent practical use for metering and evaluation of the results with recommendations for consumers.
