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.

This thesis explores new posibilities of using mobile devices, specificaly cell phones and tablets which support the USB OTG feature, to read data from smart electricity meters. To achieve this goal, an application for OS Android was developed in practical part of this thesis. This mobile application communicates with electricity meters via optical sensor serving as serial line and using the DLMS/COSEM standard. Acquired data are saved to a remote database for further use.

Šio darbo tyrimo tikslas – ištirti elektros energijos apskaitos prietaisų, indukcinių ir elektroninių, charakteristikas. Buvo atlikta informacijos šaltinių analizė apie indukcinių ir elektroninių elektros energijos skaitiklių ir srovės matavimo transformatorių parametrus, apsprendžiančius jų charakteristikas. Remiantis informacijos šaltinių apibendrinimu suformuota hipotezė: ne visos elektroninių elektros energijos prietaisų charakteristikos geresnės už indukcinių elektros energijos apskaitos prietaisų charakteristikas. Suformuoti tyrimo uždaviniai: ištirti elektroninių ir indukcinių elektros energijos prietaisų paklaidų priklausomybes nuo apkrovos srovės, galios koeficiento, eksploatacijos laiko, pasvyros kampo ir srovės matavimo transformatorių srovinės paklaidas. Padarytos išvados, nurodomas naudotos literatūros sąrašas. / The aim of this paper is to investigate the electricity metering devices, i.e. inductive and electronic, characteristics. It was made the analysis of the sources about the inductive and electricity meters and current transformers for measuring the parameters that define their characteristics. According to sources of information was formed the hypothesis: not all electronic power devices characteristics are better than inductive energy metering devices characteristics. The study objectives are to investigate experimentally the electronic and inductive power devices values of the load current, power factor, operating time, against an adverse list angle and current measuring transformer errors stream. Findings are discussed; the list of references is presented.

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.
