The unbundled smart meter concept in a synchro SCADA framework
Active distribution networks, based on an increased use of intermittent, non controllable energy resources, require advanced control systems. Smart meters are already ubiquitous in low voltage (LV) networks and can play a major role in grid operation. In this paper is presented a new Smart Meter solution able to positively impact the emerging energy markets and to be integrated in MV/LV dispatch centers. Specific topics of LV network observability, enabled by IP based communication solutions, such as Synchro SCADA and data anonymization, are also addressed. The unbundled smart meter concept is a unifying approach of both Smart Meters and Smart Grid architectures. The concept is in progress to be implemented by the European R&D project NOBEL GRID.
