| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 104 === Smart Grids (SGs) analyze the information collected by smart meters installed at
consumers. With SGs, the electric power company can maximize the profit by realtime
monitoring energy consumption of consumers and the consumer can minimize
the cost by arranging energy consumption into suitable time slots. Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which is composed of smart meters, concentrators,
and communication technologies, is the foundation of SGs. The information
collected by smart meters can be first transmitted to concentrators for aggregation
via AMI mesh networks (e.q., RF mesh networks), and then trasmitted to Meter Data
Management Systems (MDMS) via wired or wireless backhauls, where a smart meter
transmits the collected information to the concentrator in a muli-hop manner in this
project. Due to the high cost of a concentrator, we need to minimize the number of
concentrators deployed in AMI mesh networks such that each smart meter has at
least one path to some concentrator. Thus, it is required to predict whether there exists
at least one path between an arbitrary pair of locations where the smart meter and the
concentrator reside respectively, which is the goal of this project. In this article, we
need to predict whether there exists a link between the meters.
