Abstract

This study presents a conceptual design of an Internet of Things (IoT) communication system for monitoring power generation systems in Colombian Non-Interconnected Zones (NIZs), which lack IoT connectivity due to complex geographical factors. The proposed system aims to ensure the proper operation and energy efficiency of off-grid systems while tracking the variables that influence their performance.

The methods used in this study include identifying the needs of such a system, identifying requirements, obtaining technical specifications, and developing a conceptual design. The study also analyses and compares various technologies, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa and ZigBee, to determine which ones are best suited for IoT system design.

The conceptual design of the proposed IoT monitoring system considers the geographical, communication and coverage characteristics of the NIZs and the technical characteristics of the energy projects to provide a complete functional system that can connect approximately 2 million people located in these isolated and vulnerable zones. Finally, the defined system can serve as a precedent for building prototypes in various NIZs, and research on IoT technologies suitable for NIZs can help us seek the technologies that are most suitable for these areas. Depending on the application and conditions of the energy project, the most appropriate technology can be determined on a case-by-case basis.

分析适合哥伦比亚偏远地区的物联网技术：监测和管理分布式能源系统的物联网系统概念设计

本研究提出了一个物联网通信系统的概念设计，用于监控哥伦比亚非互联区（NIZ）的发电系统，由于复杂的地理因素，这些地区缺乏物联网连接。该系统旨在确保离网系统的正常运行和能源效率，同时跟踪影响其性能的变量。本研究采用的方法包括确定对此类系统的需求、确定要求、获取技术规格以及开发概念设计。本研究还分析和比较了各种技术，包括 Wi-Fi、蓝牙、LoRa 和 ZigBee，以确定哪种技术最适合物联网系统设计。拟议物联网监控系统的概念设计考虑到了 NIZ 的地理、通信和覆盖特点以及能源项目的技术特点，以提供一个完整的功能系统，连接位于这些孤立和脆弱地区的约 200 万人。最后，所定义的系统可以作为在不同国家识别区建立原型的先例，而对适合国家识别区的物联网技术的研究则可以帮助我们寻找最适合这些地区的技术。根据能源项目的应用和条件，可以逐一确定最合适的技术。
