No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 3263751 bytes, checksum: 7ac8739b55aa723353d94f530579f4fc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-11-27 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / In the current global scenario, the power sector crisis is evident, and to maintain an economic development compatible with this growth, many countries are investing in energy production from many different sources, renewable and clean or not, to supply the growing demand. The integration of these new energy sources demands realtime coordination. Thus, monitoring units need to be reliable besides a good processing and data transmission are needed. In this paper it’s proposed to implement a data acquisition system for current and voltage signals with a low cost embedded platform, focused in hardware programation coupled with the acquisition and conditioning module to apply a Smart Grid concept.This system are responsible for performing analysis of voltage and current provided from electrical grid and transform these informations to readable informations for embedded platform, making possible manipulate this informations from surpevisory systems. With these data, the supervisory systems can analyze and make decisions based on information provided by the platform and use to apply in different concepts present in Smart Grid, such as energy flow control, minimizing the effects of electricity lack, design of distributed generation from renewable sources, identification of energy theft, reduction of technical losses, power monitoring and others. To develop this system was used a Beaglebone Black© development platform, associated with a module for conditioning unit of voltage and current signals, that module was developed by the Optimization Lab Power Systems program (LOSE) of the Electrical Engineering Department (DEE) from Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). This module is responsible for conditioning the signal voltage and current supplied by the power grid adapting them to the specifications required for reading and conversion in Beaglebone Black© development platform. / No atual cenário mundial, a crise do setor elétrico está cada vez mais evidente, e para se manter um nível de desenvolvimento econômico compatível com este crescimento, muitos países estão investindo no aumento da produção de energia elétrica a partir de diversas fontes, sejam estas renováveis e limpas ou não, para suprir a crescente demanda. A integração dessas novas fontes de energia demanda coordenação em tempo real. Desta forma, unidades confiáveis de monitoramento, processamento e transmissão de dados são necessárias. Neste trabalho propõe-se a implementação de um sistema para aquisição de dados para sinais de tensão e corrente, por meio de uma plataforma de desenvolvimento embarcado de baixo custo associado com foco na programação de hardware, aliado a um módulo de aquisição e condicionamento de sinais para aplicação do conceito de Redes Elétricas Inteligentes - REI (do inglês Smart Grid). O sistema é responsável por realizar a leitura da tensão e da corrente fornecidos pela rede elétrica e transformar-los para informações analisáveis pela plataforma de desenvolvimento, possibilitando assim, a manipulação por sistemas supervisórios. Em posse destes dados, os sistemas supervisórios podem, além de analisar, tomar decisões baseadas nas informações fornecidas pela plataforma e utilizar-las para aplicar em diversos conceitos presentes nas REIs, tais como controle do fluxo de energia, minimização dos efeitos da falta da energia elétrica, concepção de geração distribuída a partir de fontes renováveis, identificação de furtos de energia, redução de perdas técnicas, monitoramento da qualidade de energia e outros. Para o desenvolvimento deste sistema foi utilizado a plataforma de desenvolvimento Beaglebone Black©, associada a uma unidade de condicionamento de sinais de tensão e corrente desenvolvido pelo Progama de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Elétrica no Laboratório de Otimização de Sistemas de Energia (LOSE) do Departamento de Engenharia Elétrica (DEE), da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB). Este módulo é reponsável por condicionar os sinais de tensão e corrente fornecidos pela rede elétrica adequando-os às especificações necessárias para leitura e conversão na plataforma de desenvolvimento Beaglebone Black©.

In conjunction with the possibility of inexpensive wireless communication, many products of tomorrow are developed with the support for wireless communication. The technology enables the possibilty of wireless communication to small plattforms at a realistic price. The cheap connectivity allows for great creativity and gives the developers imagination a wide discretion in the development of new products. This thesis aims to evaluate how the serial communication protocol Modbus RTU - RS232, performs and behaves when transported through meshed networks (Atmel lightweight mesh will be used in this thesis). The work was commissioned by M2M Solutions in J¨onk¨oping. The report will answer the following questions1. How does Modbus RTU behaves when transported through a meshed network. 2. How does Modbus RTU preform when transported through Atmel Lightweight Mesh.The authors have chosen to conduct action research to answer established questions. A test system consisting of both hardware and software was designed and created. With this system, several different tests were conducted and the results were observed and subjected to reflection. The different tests varied the distance, the network’s composition and location of the network infrastructure. Through observation of the test system and evaluation of the recorded data conclusions concering Modbus RTU’s performance and behavior during transport in Atmel lightweigh mesh has been drawn. The test system has been designed with the help of clients and previously made research. Modbus behaves nominally during transportation through Atmel lightweight mesh. Before the network is fully established, an inability to transport data has beend observed. The performance is evaluated by the time it takes to send data, the time is greatly affected by the following factors; Network composition and changes in signal strength (that creates changes in transport routes). For each additional node that traffic is transported through an increase of 5-10ms in the responstime was noted. The network’s ability to change the transport route is also expected to increase performance. The wireless communication provides a longer range than during transportation by standard conventional cable.Considering the results, the authors believe that Modbus RTU has the potential for use in transportation through wireless, meshed networks. One possible scenario is when several Modbus RTU masters are beeing used and data needs to be transported over large distances.
