Design and development of IoT based Gateway for Advanced Metering Infrastructure in an Educational Institution

Abstract

The world currently focuses on research and development in various domains and exploring new technologies. An improvement is needed in any technology that is framed, to study or analyze the technology a basic pre-requisite is to study the basics of the topic. So, there is a need for the basic data related to the topic in order to enhance the work and make a proper development, by analyzing the data, various improvements can be done. For this enhancement or improvement of work, the data is necessary at various points where the data is to be sent and necessary changes are found and the changes are rectified and completed. The paper proposes a new way of data transfer, particularly focusing on smart meter data. Smart meter data is a large dataset as it records data for every minute of load consumption in a building. Usually, large data which is sent are disrupted and corrupted and loss of data occurs. This paper designs an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway to send data without any disruption of data. The data is sent as a large file and it is also designed to transfer as a low bandwidth, high latency data sending protocol and this large data is also sent with no disruptions. The paper transfers Thiagarajar college smart meter data from a local server to a designed IoT gateway and data is used for various purposes like analyzing energy consumption hourly, daily, and weekly load usage.
