Architecture for Smart Grid based Consumer End Solution

Generation

Transmission and Distribution

Consumers

- To design low profile, versatile nodes capable of communication between the system designer and the appliances.

Problem Definition

- To design a generic entity to play administrator over a group of control nodes.

- To make available the desired data at the administrator node, and to maintain a database for the specified duration.

- We call the control nodes as “SLAVES”, and the administrator nodes as “POWER HUB”.

- The POWER HUB listens to the system designer, and implements the required control over the network through SLAVES.

- To design a low profile, versatile nodes to communicate between the system designer and the appliances.

When a SLAVE is successfully registered in the network, the HUB assigns it an address slot – SLAVE 1.

The HUB and SLAVE are now connected, and communication can take place.
