Advanced Measurement Systems with Smart Grid in Turkey: Roadmap 2032

Abstract

There have been strategic and important developments in the field of energy in Turkey in recent years. Considering the current energy policy framework, smart grids are an important paving stone for Turkey to reach the determined targets. In the development of smart networks, the most important part is smart meters and their communication. Smart energy meters, together with their communications, power and control infrastructure, constitute a system associated with electrical networks of worldwide interest. The massive implementation of these technologies requires not only the corresponding conceptual management but also the formulation of policies and regulatory frameworks, the analysis of the benefits that they entail and the barriers that arise for their use. This study presents a scheme that integrates the actors, processes and functionalities associated with advanced measurement systems through an appropriate hardware and software infrastructure. Successful cases of massive use of smart meters are compared, and the benefits and barriers are analyzed to propose possible future scenarios in Turkey and present some applicable use cases. In this study, a prepay or supply-demand balanced solution proposal was presented for Turkey with communication infrastructure smart meters.
