The Requirements of the Technique of Communication from Machine to Machine Applied in Smart Grids

As a result of increasing population and energy demands of individuals, the demand for energy is increasing day by day. It will be difficult and inefficient to meet this demand with the current network structure. Problems such as inefficient transmission caused by high transmission losses, problems in the integration of renewable resources into the network, problems such as inelastic demand and compensation, meeting the increasing demand with traditional network structures are inefficient and unsustainable. Expectations of existing networks to be efficient, flexible, and reliable in terms of supply-demand balance bring up the applications of Smart Grids. Smart Grid applications aim to ensure that every stage of the production, transmission, distribution, and consumption processes of energy is observable and controllable, and therefore, effectively manageable. In this study, wide area management in Smart Grids and distributed predictions are presented with distributed control applications. In this way, the applicability of Machine-to-Machine communications on machine networks was studied. For this purpose, Machine-to-Machine systems and Smart Grid systems are compared in separate layers. In addition, using Machine-to-Machine system architectures, Machine-to-Machine system architectures were developed. The proposed architecture is based on a Smart City platform and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute Compatible Machine-to-Machine communication frame.
