It is commonly agreed among energy experts that smart meters (SMs) are the key component that will facilitate the transition towards the smart grid. Fast-peace innovations in the smart metering infrastructure (AMI) are exposing countless benefits that network operators can obtain when they integrate SMs applications into their daily operations.  Following the amendment in 2017, where the Swedish government dictated that all SMs should now include new features such as remote control, higher time resolution for the energy readings and a friendly interface for customers to access their own data; network operators in Sweden are currently replacing their SMs for a new model, also called the second generation of SMs. While the replacement of meters is in progress, many utilities like Hemab are trying to reveal which technical and financial benefits the new generation of SMs will bring to their operations.    As a first step, this thesis presents the results of a series of interviews carried out with different network operators in Sweden. It is studied which functionalities have the potential to succeed in the near future, as well as those functionalities that are already being tested or fully implemeneted by some utilities in Sweden. Furthermore, this thesis analyses those obstacles and barriers that utilities encounter when trying to implement new applications using the new SMs. In a second stage, an alarm system for power interruptions and voltage-quality events (e.g., overvoltage and undervoltage) using VisionAir software and OMNIPOWER 3-phase meters is evaluated. The results from the evaluation are divided into three sections: a description of the settings and functionalities of the alarm, the outcomes from the test, and a final discussion of potential applications. This study has revealed that alarm functions, data analytics (including several methods such as load forecasting, customer segmentation and non-technical losses analysis), power quality monitoring, dynamic pricing, and load shedding have the biggest potential to succeed in Sweden in the coming years. Furthermore, it can be stated that the lack of time, prioritization of other projects in the grid and the integration of those new applications into the current system seem to be the main barrier for Swedish utilities nowadays. Regarding the alarm system, it was found that the real benefits for network operators arrive when the information coming from an alarm system is combined with a topology interface of the network and a customer notifications server. Both applications could improve customer satisfaction by significantly reducing outage time and providing customers with real-time and precise information about the problems in the grid.

[pt] A Internet das Coisas (IoT) se propõe a interligar o mundo físico e a Internet, o que abre a possibilidade de desenvolvimento de diversas aplicações, principalmente na área da saúde. Essas aplicações requerem um grande número de sensores para coletar informações continuamente, gerando grandes fluxos de dados, muitas vezes excessivos, redundantes ou sem significado para as operações do sistema. Essa geração massiva de dados de sensores desperdiça recursos computacionais para adquirir, transmitir, armazenar e processar informações, levando à perda de eficiência desses sistemas ao longo do tempo. Além disso, os dispositivos IoT são projetados para serem pequenos e portáteis, alimentados por baterias, para maior mobilidade e interferência minimizada no ambiente monitorado. No entanto, esse design também resulta em restrições de consumo de energia, tornando a vida útil da bateria um desafio significativo que precisa ser enfrentado. Além disso, esses sistemas geralmente operam em ambientes imprevisíveis, o que pode gerar alarmes redundantes e insignificantes, tornando-os ineficazes. No entanto, um sistema auto-adaptativo que identifica e prevê riscos iminentes através de um sistema de pontuação de alertas antecipados (EWS) pode lidar com esses problemas. Devido ao seu baixo custo de processamento, a referência EWS pode ser incorporada em dispositivos vestíveis e sensores, permitindo um melhor gerenciamento das taxas de amostragem, transmissões, produção de alarmes e consumo de energia. Seguindo a ideia acima, esta tese apresenta uma solução que combina um sistema EWS com um algoritmo auto-adaptativo em aplicações IoT de monitoramento de pacientes. Desta forma, promovendo uma redução na aquisição e transmissão de dados , diminuindo alarmes não acionáveis e proporcionando economia de energia para esses dispositivos. Além disso, projetamos e desenvolvemos um protótipo de hardware capaz de embarcar nossa proposta, evidenciando a sua viabilidade técnica. Além disso, usando nosso protótipo, coletamos dados reais de consumo de energia dos componentes de hardware que foram usados durante nossas simulações com dados reais de pacientes provenientes de banco de dados públicos. Nossos experimentos demonstraram grandes benefícios com essa abordagem, reduzindo em 87 por cento os dados amostrados, em 99 por cento a carga total das mensagens transmitidas do dispositivo de monitoramento, 78 por cento dos alarmes e uma economia de energia de quase 82 por cento. No entanto, a fidelidade do monitoramento do estado clínico dos pacientes apresentou um erro absoluto total médio de 6,8 por cento (mais ou menos 5,5 por cento), mas minimizado para 3,8 por cento (mais ou menos 2,8 por cento) em uma configuração com menores ganhos na redução de dados. A perda de detecção total dos alarmes dependendo da configuração de frequências e janelas de tempo analisadas ficou entre 0,5 por cento e 9,5 por cento, com exatidão do tipo de alarme entre 89 por cento e 94 por cento. Concluindo, este trabalho apresenta uma abordagem para o uso mais eficiente de recursos computacionais, de comunicação e de energia para implementar aplicativos de monitoramento de pacientes baseados em IoT. / [en] The Internet of Things (IoT) proposes to connect the physical world to the Internet, which opens up the possibility of developing various applications, especially in healthcare. These applications require a huge number of sensors to collect information continuously, generating large data flows, often excessive, redundant, or without meaning for the system s operations. This massive generation of sensor data wastes computational resources to acquire, transmit, store, and process information, leading to the loss of efficiency of these systems over time. In addition, IoT devices are designed to be small and portable, powered by batteries, for increased mobility and minimized interference with the monitored environment. However, this design also results in energy consumption restrictions, making battery lifetime a significant challenge that needs to be addressed. Furthermore, these systems often operate in unpredictable environments, which can generate redundant and negligible alarms, rendering them ineffective. However, a self-adaptive system that identifies and predicts imminent risks using early-warning scores (EWS) can cope with these issues. Due to its low processing cost, EWS guidelines can be embedded in wearable and sensor devices, allowing better management of sampling rates, transmissions, alarm production, and energy consumption. Following the aforementioned idea, this thesis presents a solution combining EWS with a self-adaptive algorithm for IoT patient monitoring applications. Thus, promoting a reduction in data acquisition and transmission, decreasing non-actionable alarms, and providing energy savings for these devices. In addition, we designed and developed a hardware prototype capable of embedding our proposal, which attested to its technical feasibility. Moreover, using our wearable prototype, we collected the energy consumption data of hardware components and used them during our simulations with real patient data from public datasets. Our experiments demonstrated great benefits of our approach, reducing by 87 percent the sampled data, 99 percent the total payload of the transmitted messages from the monitoring device, 78 percent of the alarms, and an energy saving of almost 82 percent. However, the fidelity of monitoring the clinical status of patients showed a mean total absolute error of 6.8 percent (plus-minus 5.5 percent) but minimized to 3.8 percent (plus-minus 2.8 percent) in a configuration with lower data reduction gains. The total loss of alarm detection depends on the configuration of frequencies and time windows, remaining between 0.5 percent and 9.5 percent, with an accuracy of the type of alarm between 89 percent and 94 percent. In conclusion, this work presents an approach for more efficient use of computational, communication, and energy resources to implement IoT-based patient monitoring applications.
